Hi,
Im using Kubuntu 9.04 with firefox and i have a nvidia geforce 8400GS.Most videos i play on youtube fail.What flash plugin do i need!?!?!?!?I tried so many different ones.PLEASE help me find a answer to this issue.Firefox downloaded the proper plugins and flashplayer automaticly but i cant seem to find any progress.PLEASE HELP?!?!?!?
what other flashplugins and extras do i need to get a normal browsing experience.I just downloaded the adobe flash plugin, but it didnt do much.
Its pretty much the same, very annoying.Did i miss something?
I'm not the OP, but I'm having similar problems: I'm on the same version of kubuntu and using firefox youtube movies(and flash in general) just stay a black screen rather then playing.I checked and both video play and sound are enabled.

Have you installed Flash from the Adobe site? If not, make sure it's the .deb file when you do.
Well, it is better to use libflashplayer.so from adobe site.
Actually, what you need is to download the plugin at adobe site in .tar.gz, extract it to your home directory, and copy extracted file (libflashplayer.so) to same directory where libswfdecmozilla.so is located.
To uninstall libswfdecmozilla.so you can use your package manager.
PS: you need to uninstall libswfdecmozilla.so first...to avoid conflict.

Reason: I think the library name is too long :)
Thank you, that worked great.Where do I open a bug report about the .deb version of Adobe Flash installer?it's supposed to be the installer for Ubuntu 8.04+ but when I installed it mozilla didn't recognize Flash as plugin

Not really sure. I have always had issues using rpm files on centOS so I always just did it that way. works everytime.
