Hi, Did the last email I sent to the list get to the list? I haven't seen it show up in my inbox on my gmail account. Is it the case that my question is not appropriate for the list? Is it the case that no one is answering the questions? I've gotten part way with watching you tube videos in Firefox on Ubuntu, but I still have no sound, and the video is choppy. Perhaps my questions are too newbie. If so, perhaps, someone can suggest a more appropriate venue for my inquiries.

I installed ubuntu server 8.04 at the most recent clinic. I installed the Xfce desktop environment, which came with the Firefox web browser. I followed the help below in order to watch flash videos.

I did ~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb from the terminal, as suggested above. I now am able to watch videos, but not smoothly at all. I have a broadband, i.e. Comcast, connection. Before, I was simply met with instructions that said I had to download the latest version of flash. I did that, as indicated above. Now, when I watch videos, they are extremely "choppy". They are not smooth at all. There is a message that says "Buffer Full". I did not have this sort of problem when this machine had windows on it. How do I make my videos run smoothly? Also, I don't have any sound. I have me speakers installed physically in the same way as they were when windows was on the machine. How do I get sound out of them. Do I have to figure out what sound card I have, download the appropiate drivers, install them, et. al. Or is there something simple I can do? Please help me to get my videos in Firefox on Linux working smoothly, and sound so I can hear them.
