Hey,

Videos issues are often related to Adobe Flash Player (you can download it here http://j.mp/1mF2KMu) You have to download and install/update Adobe flash player to be able to watch videos on the internet (Youtube, Facebook, etc..) With Flash Player as well as watching videos you can also play flash games online. Sometimes this software is not installed or is damaged/corrupted and it's responsible for many problem with videos. Hope that helps.

Have a nice day

Answer 3

Ubuntu is all opensource and lacks many drivers and plugins that should normally be installed WITH YOUR DISTRIBUTION. It also runs the sudo instead of su for intalling software that can really be a pain.



Consider a paid linux that comes with all the drivers and plugins installed instead of a free opensource cute little linux like Ubuntu

Open up the terminal and paste this exact thing into it.



sudo dpkg -- configure -a



Let the process finish before you try to do anything else.
