I have fixed this bug. here is how:
I have first using Synaptic Package Manager remove all the "flash plugins for mozilla" that were installed in my cases 3 of them (Shockwave Flash plugins 8.0r99 non free, SWFdec Mozilla Free and Mozilla plugin Gnash). In order to do that, just search for flash in Synaptic, you will get a list and select the mozilla flash plugins tht are installed for removal. Then click on apply. I have then search for the "flash" package again using Synaptic and pickup this flashplugin non free 9.0.152 Adobe Plugin Installer. I can now see my youtube video without problem. I have also remarked that while installing automatically the plugin with firefox instead of using Synaptic, the installed plugin goes in the home directory under a hidden .mozilla folder. THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT FOLDER WHERE THE OTHER PLUGIN ARE INSTALLED. That is why they will then not be recognized and used by firefox (this explain my case with the Shockwave Flash plugins 10.0r15 adobe non free that I have installed but was not used => no video box). For the other plugin that came with my firefox version, the non free adobe Flash plugins 8.0r99, it was just an old bad version that needed to be updated. I don't know if there were some conflict between the plugin but I rather did jut install one of them. -- Youtube video are not displayed although I have the flash plugins installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315736 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
