Hello Ubuntu Forums,
I'm running Xubuntu 13.10 [64-Bit] with XFCE 4.10 Desktop.
I use Firefox as my web browser, and when I first visited Youtube it asked me to install Flash. The automatic plugin finder popped up, tried to install flash through that but it failed. So I searched the add-ons and installed one that converted Flash to HTML5 and allowed me to watch videos.
Sometime today, videos stopped working. It will either display a please update your flash message otherwise tell me my web browser does not recognize any of the available video formats and provides a link for HTML5 Video FAQ.
I decided to uninstall the add-on, and open the terminal to run "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer"
It then tells me that I already have this installed, or so I believe?
Code:Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done flashplugin-installer is already the newest version. The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: hyphen-en-us mythes-en-au openoffice.org-hyphenation Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Any suggestions as to what I'm to do? I assumed the original sudo command I put in would install it but I still cannot play videos.
