I have just installed Opera browser, but youtube video can play.
I am getting the following error
you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player.
I am using Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:01:44 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Do you have the java plugin installed? Open a terminal and run:

aptitude search sun-java6
Look at he output. I "p" before the package means it is not installed. An "i" before the package means it is installed. Make sure you have sun-java6-jre, sun-java6-bin, and sun-java6-plugin installed. If you do no then install them:

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

Of course, make sure you have the flash plugin installed as well.

Are you on x64 Ubuntu or x32?

If I'm reading correctly, you have a 64 bit OS. The process is a little different. From my "notes to self":

Download the 64 bit Flash Player from Adobe Labs
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html

Unzip it and copy it to the following locations:
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
/usr/lib/opera/plugins
/home/username/.mozilla/plugins

NOTES:
You won't have an opera folder if you don't have Opera installed.
The word "username" refers to your username.
The .mozilla folder is hidden so you'll need to view hidden files to see it.

After that it should work.

If you have installed the non free adobe plugins from the repository, make sure to mark complete uninstall before you do anything and also make sure nspluginwrapper is removed. Then just untar and copy libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozila/plugins and Opera picks it up from that folder.

Flash 64-bit works for me in both. I have 64-bit Ubuntu with Opera 10.10 and Firefox 3.5.7.

Make sure you have removed all previous flash including nsplugin wrapper. Then download flash alpha x64 and untar, then in terminal do a mv libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozila/plugins

Thats as simple as is.

Go to synaptic and check all references to flash and mark then complete uninstall and also make sure nsplugin is marked as well.
