Flash Glitch in Ubuntu 8.0.4

Yizzmo · 02-02-2009, 12:32 PM

Hi all, Im having a bit of a problem here, I recently just switched over to linux, and for a few days it was working fine, but now everytime I try to play a flash video, sounds don't play at all on my system... period. It only happens when I start to watch a video on youtube..... im guessing its an error with the Linux release of adobe flash.... is there any way to fix this?

Hi can I ask what version of Flash you are using?
From memory I think it is version 9 in 8.04, I fix this issue by uninstalling Flash 9 and installing Flash 10 from the Adobe website, though since I upgraded to 8.10 I don’t have this problem anymore...

As far as I know I have FLash 10 too..... but ill try unnstalling flash and reinstalling again... can you tell me how to do that within Ubuntu?

If you installed it through the packet manager or firefox it should be registered, so you just have to open Synaptic which is in System-Administration-Synaptic and search for Flash and uninstall it
Sorry I’m not at my Computer at the moment, I can give you better instructions when I get home …
