I found a solution that worked for me at this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/flash-player-11-problems- playing.html
Basically, first install HAL sudo apt-get install hal Then quit your web browser. Finally, empty out some files from the Flash_Player folder in the hidden adobe folder in your Home folder. cd ~/.adobe/Flash_Player rm -rf NativeCache AssetCache APSPrivateData2 My problem had been that I'd click to begin the verification process, only to immediately be returned to the same page, after identifying my cable provider. I'd never even gotten to the point of logging in. This fixed things immediately. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1030365 Title: Cannot authenticate nbcolympics.com (can't stream Olympic coverage) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1030365/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
