problems with video clips. (ray house)

[Pedro I. Sanchez]

You don't download any of those files, use the native Ubuntu tools 
instead to access the software repositories.

* System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager (it'll ask you for 
your password).

* Click the search button at the top and enter "flashplugin" (no quotes) 
and click Search.

* You should see a package called falshplugin-nonfree. Select it by 
clicking the box to the left.

   ** If you don't see the entry, you need to enable the non-free
      repositories first as I believed it was explained to you before.

   ** If you see the entry, and it shows as already installed (a green
      box to the left) then ... have you re-started Firefox since you
      installed the flashplugin? To be sure, logout and login, and
      try YouTube again.

* Click the Apply button to get the software installed. You can exit 
Synaptic when it is done.

* Exit Firefox, ensure that no browser window remains open (logout/login 
if you want).

* Re-launch Firefox and try again the URL to see what version you get 
installed (and try YouTube).

BTW, I assume you are running Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10, are you?
