choppy flash, trouble reinstalling

[hotweld79]

I've just loaded up Ubuntu 8.10 on a clean hard drive. I installed Adobe's flash player, but it ran too choppy. I followed the directions on another post to uninstall using this command line:

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree --purge

Then it download and installed another flash program. How can I get this off my computer and try again?

The solution to your problem is in the Troubleshooting section of Firefox optimization and troubleshooting thread.

Some video issues are caused by conflicting plug-ins. It's not a good idea to have multiple plug-ins for the same type of content.

To remove conflicting flash plug-ins and install only the one from Adobe open "Applications >> Accessories >> Terminal", then paste (CTRL+SHIFT+V) the code below in the terminal window and hit enter:

sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla mozilla-plugin-gnash && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
