Hi all, I need help with sound and I suppose some tweaking with buffering in order to hear and watch you tube videos. I installed ubuntu server 8.04 at the most recent clinic. I installed the Xfce desktop environment, which came with the Firefox web browser. I followed the help below in order to watch flash videos.

I did ~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i install_flash_player_10_linux.deb from the terminal, as suggested above. I now am able to watch videos, but not smoothly at all. I have a broadband, i.e. Comcast, connection. Before, I was simply met with instructions that said I had to download the latest version of flash. I did that, as indicated above. Now, when I watch videos, they are extremely "choppy". They are not smooth at all. There is a message that says "Buffer Full". I did not have this sort of problem when this machine had windows on it. How do I make my videos run smoothly? Also, I don't have any sound. I have me speakers installed physically in the same way as they were when windows was on the machine. How do I get sound out of them. Do I have to figure out what sound card I have, download the appropiate drivers, install them, et. al. Or is there something simple I can do? Please help me to get my videos in Firefox on Linux working smoothly, and sound so I can hear them. Thank You, Victor Soich _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
