[SOLVED] STILL NO Video viewing - You Tube - Yahoo videos

[CaptSkip]

CANNOT see or hear videos Ububtu 8.10 Ibis
I think I have installed just about everything for Video playing.
Flash & Codecs, Shockwave, Adobe Flash, quicktime (not sure), new Firefox upgrade to ver 3.09,
AND I STILL Cannot view videos. I had so Many problems with Ubuntu 8.10 not being able to play music or cd's - that was a nitemare,
THE ONLY Video I can view and hear is
Full Screen Flash Video Demo
I think i have a very average/normal desktop computer and I do not know why 8.10 is so dam buggy for me - beside me being a newbie.
I have had Lots of help from this forum and I really appreciate it.

I have done this code many times before, should I do it again after all I have just done AND it is already working???
Thank you

[devils casper]

Well Done !

There is no need to re-install flash plugin now.
