I have (supposedly) installed Adobe Flash Player. I did the sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree or whatever the command was like that, and it didn't work. I downloaded the tarball from adobe's website, extracted and ran it. It appeared to normally install it, but it didn't work either. For example when I go to Youtube where the video should be playing there is nothing there, just a white (same as background) space the same size as the video.

What I need to do is run some commands in terminal and have some techsperts diagnose the problem. I am new to Linux.

Thank you in advance!
