    After following the "The Perfect Desktop - Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope)", I still could not get videos to play within Firefox. (This use to work just fine on my 8.04.2LTS.) When I "about:plugins" in the address line (of Firefox) I see that:

    And yet within Synaptic, it indicates that I have installed version 10.0.22.87ubuntu2.

    What did I do wrong?

    Run
    Code:
    update-alternatives --config firefox-flashplugin
    and
    Code:
    update-alternatives --config iceweasel-flashplugin
    and select another Flash plugin.

    Still the same

    I guess I am confused. These commands gave me three choices. I tried each and no difference. Firefox
    HTML:
    about:plugins
    still reports:
    What next? What about removing Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999? (I cannot say that I remember ever installing it, but. . .)

    Tried Opera

    The one program I did not install when I followed your "Perfect Desktop fro Ubuntu" (might not be the exact name, sorry) was Opera. I felt satisfied with Firefox (from past experience.) Well, I went back and installed Opera and flash player does not work properly, there, either. Then tried Firefox 3.5 and the same.

    During an update (a few minutes ago) I discovered that Sun-Java has an error.
    Could this be a Java issue? I am concerned that I am not experienced enough to be able to do some of the suggestions I saw when I Google this error message.

    Your suggestion?

    I think /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so is the right plugin. Change the symlinks from /etc/alternatives/firefox-flashplugin, /etc/alternatives/iceweasel-flashplugin, and /etc/alternatives/mozilla-flashplugin to /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so.
