Flash PLayer youtube not working

[babujbf]

Hey

I don't know whats wrong but, I installed flashplayer from the adobe website and it installed without a problem. Now I go to play youtube videos and it says that either I don't have flash player or my java is not turned on.

How do I know I have java turned on?

Thanks

i take it you are using firefox?,...if so goto >edit >preferences > content and see if java is ticked on

[babujbf]

oh... it is turned on... how come I can't play youtube? I got my flash player installed

[neu2buntu]

did you restart firefox after installing adobe flash player?

[neu2buntu]

also look at (firefox) > tools > addons >plugins > and enable shockwave flash (left click on it and see if it is enabled0

[babujbf]

yeap I restarted it still nothing.. and I looked in the plugins and there is no shockwave flash there...

[neu2buntu]

try this goto > system > administration > synaptic package manager ... and click search icon (magnifying glass) and type adobe-flashplugin and install this...

[babujbf]

yeap did that its installed

[neu2buntu]

installed already yes? if so (firefox) goto > edit >preferences > applications > shockwave flash file ...and in drop down menu ,choose "use shockwave flash"

[babujbf]

oh man... its installed and it doesn't appear in the applications. So confusing LOL

[neu2buntu]

hmmm this is bad...lol ... maybe go back and try a reinstall of the flashplugin in synaptic ,i cant think of anything else atm,but i will stay on it....
