Welcome to the new Linux Foundation Forum!
Video problem
in Applications
Every time I watch a video on UBUNTU (desktop newest version) on any website it will fast forward through the video making it impossible to watch and there is no audio to it. Can anyone help me please?

If you have a solution can you tell me step by step, because I am no guru when it comes to UBUNTU by any means at all.
I am not completely ignorant of how to use computers, but skipping the simplest step may through me off so just assume I know nothing.
Thanks
What video player are you used to what videos? It could be corrupted.
Browser? html5 or flash? are you using a different plugin than adobe's?
Sooo many questions!
Regards
The browser I use is firefox. I use nothing different than the standard of what it has been set to already.
I *never* do "fresh reinstalls" to solve a problem. That's so windowslike....
Regards
Sorry to everyone for my late response. I was out of town. I have tried your suggestions and they don't work. It's every website. www.youtube.com or www.gamespot.com it doesn't really matter. Just as long as there is a video it runs through it as fast as it loads it without audio.
Should I just restart UBUNTU? How would I go about doing that?
I only know how to work with Windows. Still taking me some time to get used to UBUNTU
It won't let me delete anything that is "adobe"
What should I do and tell me what to click every step if you don't mind. Still very new.
Then I would recommend going to your "Update Manager" program and updating all your ubuntu software, that alone can fix many issues. Then re-try watching your videos.
Let me know if this works for you. Glad to help.
Thanks for your help so far, but I'm sad to say that it has yet to fix my problem. I have uninstalled adobe then installed as you said and I have gone to the update manager and updated all I could and yet the problem still remains. I have seen some other people complain of this issue on other forums, but thy never get an answer either.
Maybe it's a bug in the software and you can do nothing about it
Binary blobs... I hate them!
Have you tried the latest adobe flash beta?
Well what is my next step in getting my computer fixed? I tried typing in a Linux repair in Austin and can't find any.
I've tried synaptic package manager & ubuntu software center
Download adobe flash beta from here.
1- Close your browser
2- Uncompress it and place the libflashplayer.so file under ~/.mozilla/plugins/
3- Start your browser.
4- Make sure it's using your plugin rather than system's default one.
Results?

What I pasted was this "cd /directory/of/the/file/you/downloaded/
tar xzvf flashplayer11_b1_install_lin_64_071311.tar.gz"
Well, you do not have to copy this letter by letter!!!
I do not know your filesystem hierarchy therefore I can't give you an exact path to "cd" into (the directory where you saved the file). I do not know the file you downloaded so I can't give you the exact file name either.
You can always stop by the irc channel ( irc.linuxfoundation.org #linuxdotcom) and we can guide you command to command to get it working
My time zone is GMT+2 (Central Europe). Just write my name and I'll get a notification, if I'm around I'll talk to you
Regards
Also that is the stragest web address I've ever seen, with the " #linuxdotcom" . That's not part of it is it? I suppose I probably sound pretty dumb now asking that.
No one is dumb because of not knowing something so don't worry about it
That is not an web address hehe You need an IRC client (xchat, kvirc, mirc, quassel...there's many!) to connect to an IRC network (irc.linuxfoundation.org, freenode.org...). Then you can join any channel (#linuxdotcom for example).
Then
Then you'll join the #linuxdotcom channel.
Once in there ask for help in this issue ( write my name and I'll get a notification, if I'm around I'll try to help you
Regards
Can you highlight some text and then right click it and select copy on UBUNTU? When I right click it nothing comes up at all.
Thanks everyone for all your help! I appreciate it very much and hope to grow with the Linux community and maybe even become a Linux administrator one day. I just wish they offered classes for it around here (Austin).
i have problem like you in my firefox but after i update my flash player and browser its normally work again
try to update OK
