Video not working for Ubuntu 9.04

[seandfeeney]

I just upgraded to Jaunty and now when I play a video on revision3.com, the links are flashing and freaking out. Anyone else having this issue? I have tried it in firefox, opera (doesn't show anything), and flock. Nothing works. I attached two screen-shots a few seconds apart showing that it is flickering between these two images. Anyone else having this problem?

Yeah, Ive added medibuntu to my repositories and thought it may have helped with some w32 codecs, unfortunately it didn't do much xD IM still trying to hunt down the cure, but I have the same problem, and also stickam doesn't want to work either @.@

I found out that flash didn't handle the upgrade well to ubuntu 9.04. I fixed it by going into Synaptic package manager, searching for flash then uninstalling all the installed instances of flash software. At this point I rebooted then installed flash 10 for jaunty from the same synaptic flash search I did previously and everything was fixed. Good luck!

Well then I'll do the same and report back xD

Glad to help! It took me a bit but, it works now. This happened to a lot of people with flash. Just google "flash jaunty" .... now to figure out why full screen is playing on my second monitor....
