Cake for coffee's sake
Two weeks ago I had a problem with flash. There was no sound when playing videos from youtube. Iaculallad solved that for by advising to sudo libflash...
Perfect! And now, out of the blue I get the following message when trying to view a video:
Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.
What happened?

Are you using gnash or flashplugin-nonfree?
The latter, though closed source, does yield better results.
One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, speak a few reasonable words...

I think gnash...Originally Posted by northern lights
How do I find out though?
Extra Foam Sugar Free Ubuntu
In the address bar in Firefox, type:
This will tell you what is installed. You could also look to see what is installed in Synaptic.Code:about:plugins

Via the above or by runningand checking whether it's got an "i" flag. Anyhow, should it be installed apt-get will just ignore you trying to install it, so we might as well just give it a go.Code:aptitude search flashplugin-nonfree
RunMost likely, that's going to improve your situation noticeably.Code:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get autoremove totem-mozilla && sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer flashplugin-nonfree
If you want to have wma/wmv support as well, you have to enable the medibuntu repositories. They yield DVD support as well. Check RestrictedFormats

This was the outcome:
Shockwave Flash
File name: libflashplayer.so
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124
MIME Type Description Suffixes Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash Shockwave Flash swf Yes
application/futuresplash FutureSplash Player spl Yes
What do I do next?
Sound of Inevitability
If you have flash 10 then some sites have not update there recognition. They see 10 as less than 9 and think you've not got the latest installed. They will all catch up pretty fast now that 10 final is out.

This is the nonfree/proprietary plugin.
It would still be useful to run the above, without the flashplugin-nonfree installation to replace totem-mozilla by mozilla-mplayer, which tends to handle youtube and the like better.
Code:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get autoremove totem-mozilla && sudo apt-get install mozilla-mplayer

Do you use NoScript firefox extension ... If you do that would lead to this behavior. Make sure to accept the web site you want to view.
