You could go here, grab the flashplugin downloader, and manually install it with dpkg

'Ubuntu restricted extras' doesnt have flash in 32bit.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Re...dFormats/Flash

Its doable from a comand line, you just need to check '/etc/apt/sources.list' to make sure it has 'multiverse'. Then

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

You should install Xubuntu 14.04 and you'll solve your problem.I know i did, i had xubuntu 13.10 and did install xubuntu 14.04 and it runs like a champ and is LTS

How sources.list should look? it seems multiverse is already existing

I'd guess you've removed some library needed for it to run then.

Didn't realize you were looking for an ARM version. Is Gnash a viable option?

There is no Flash for ARM, so you are stuck with other plugins, like Gnash or possibly Mozilla's Shumway. It may be possible to use VLC, also, but I have no experiences with that.

Yeah, I was wondering about the ARM thing. The 'cannot see anymore youtube video' threw me a little, I though maybe there as flash version for ARM that I wasnt aware of.

the last status for my "odroid xu" = ARM with xubuntu 13.10 is
- firefox: youtube is fine with greasemonkey. Installation advice here http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=887#p5071
streams like you can see on livetv.ru cannot be seen
- chromium: streams from livetv.ru can be seen with pepperflash. Installation advice here http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2374
only approx 50% of the youtube video can be seen. I am searching why.
Anyway: by using both browser I can see a lot of video and others.
