I'm not trying to say something completely useless here, but perhaps you should try updated to Lenny? Etch is soon to be an unsupported version of Debian, so I would honestly upgrade before getting into anything. Yes it is soon to be oldstable but security fixes will still apply to it for some time. Updating to Lenny for a new user for your reason above is 1) Unnessesary to fix this problem, 2) can create more problems than he is trying to fix and 3) Lenny is not stable yet. I don't really agree with that. Lenny already has very few RC bugs and has been in freeze for quite a while. In my opinion Lenny would be easier for a new user, as it will avoid the (often) troublesome upgrade process. Also, Lenny may include some updated video drivers that may or may not fix Chris' problem; I don't see how trying to nip something like this in the bud could create problems.

Re: Help with u tube video streaming
2009/1/10 Chris S cbs10...@googlemail.com: Well a few have said this but at least one has said upgrading may not be requried, I have no problem doing this if this is required. I said that. I am a believer in fix one problem at a time. Find out why your frame rates are bad before you possibly introduce more problems that you have to deal with then still fix the original problem that your trying to struggle with. Etch is stable, many if not all of the problems with it have been encountered and fixed already. You can be reasonably sure that any problems you encounter are going to be a configuration issue instead of faulty software. Lenny is soon to be stable, works well and most likely you won't have any problems with it, I don't believe that updating the OS when the root cause is yet to be found is a sound course of action. Of course you can install anything you like and it's relatively easy to reinstall to fix problems while you are learning a new operating system. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, we all have (and do) and above all, don't let Linux intimidate you. IMHO picking Debian as a first Linux distribution is a good choice as things aren't hidden from you - when you encounter a problem you will see what goes on behind the scenes and learn how to fix it.

I have googled myself to near insanity but cannot find anything that directly helps. My apologies if I'm not being clear or doing something wrong. I'm not trying to say something completely useless here, but perhaps you should try updated to Lenny? Etch is soon to be an unsupported version of Debian. Not true. oldstable still gets support for a least a few months, to give system administrators time to schedule and complete an upgrade to stable. Yes it is soon to be oldstable but security fixes will still apply to it for some time. For example, Etch became stable on 2007-04-08, but there was another update to Sarge on 2007-12-28, and it didn't completely drop from security support until at least 2008-02-29, and had it's final update on 2008-04-13, more than a year after the Etch release. Generally, as long a security supports it bp.org will still provide new software for it, from time to time. Still, Lenny actually has fewer RC bugs than Etch, so it is probably worth the upgrade. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Adobe did not have a 10.* version for Linux available at that time, so Etch does not have a 10.* version. I don't think 10.* is required for most sites though. If you absolutely need 10.*, you may have luck searching the mailing list archives. There was a discussion about installing 10.* last month, IIRC. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. b...@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/ signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
