I'm fuzzy on this area, but there are a variety of formats and players---many of which should also be installed on Ubuntu. Please tell us specifically which kinds of videos or which websites.
I am sorry for the lack of clearity in my question, but this is so new to me that I find it somewhat confusing. Maybe I can make it clearer. I would like to watch videos on this site.
works for me (fedora-9). what issues are you having ?
does firefox not prompt you that you need to install flash ?
whenever i go to youtube/ hulu/ whatever the browser finds the plug-in and automatically installs it. (did you restart your browser after it downloads and installs flash ?)
Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Select .deb for Ubuntu and download the file. Once download is complete double click it. It will ask for your password and install it.
