Hi guys,

I've been using Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop and I noticed when I watch something on youtube, lets say, only fools and horses it stops to load and then it never continues? This happens in firefox and google chrome.

When I watch the same on my laptop with Windows Vista I can watch it from start to finish with no stopping.

I hate watching it on my laptop because it has a 11" screen, everything is going well for me with Ubuntu 10.04 apart from this minor niggle that I can't watch anything on youtube without it stopping to load and then never continuing.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Is it a 64-bit or a 32-bit install? Definitely another flash issue...

Pulling my leg? Einstein was not needed to figure out if it was a flash issue or not :-)

But the link you provided is definitely worth to be in my forums helping library. Just added it. Nice to see that people are working hard to help open source and free software.
