Thanks Graham, As I started down this path about a month ago, I have seen the Synaptic word about a dozen times. I guess I really don't understand what Synaptic is and how to open it. I installed both gnash and flashplayer from the link that was posted on hulu when it said I need flashplayer - click here. That's the way I installed.
A couple of sites told me to open a terminal and I fimbled around and found that too. I do remember doing the "sudo apt-get install flash-plugin-nonfree" thing, as well as few other suggestions. When I got the 'plug-in' versus getting the 'player', that's when I started actually getting the play button to come on in the middle of the screen. Before that, all I would get is a blank screen portion where the videos were supposed to be. I'll keep my main laptop up and running today and wait for responses (I'm on a different machine right now). Hope we can figure this out.
