install the 'lsb-core' package from package manager, I think this should fix the problem.

Hi, I've a bit of a problem, I want to watch YouTube links on Google Earth from Ubuntu LTS 10.04, but they're not loading, saying Adobe Flash isn't working.

How can I watch them from Google Earth, here's a thread I posted: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1685575

Please help.

Worked perfectly for me.

Thanks!

Guys, sorry for being persistent, but are your YouTube videos in Google Earth working? Try going to the moon, and play the TOURS there - including video and sound.

Mine is not working, any ideas? I've got the thread link above.

Help!

Awesome! Thank you for the help!

This fixed my Google Earth as well.

It was working but some update to my OS broke it. Should lsb-core be one of its dependencies now?

Thanks again for the great help.
