Cant get youtube to work have tried downloading with the sudo commands and get nothing

1. Install ubuntu-restricted-extras
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
2. For DVD playback also run:
sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats for more info.

PS Google's Chrome browser doesn't require a flash plugin to play youtube

i did that and that didnt work. Idk why. How could i possibly fix this otherwise or download chrome?

Enter google chrome on firefix address bar. Click Download.
Run when downloaded. Then Go to Applications, Internet, and run it from there - or right click Add to panel.

Since this has nothing to do with the way you installed, I'm going to move it into the general category and maybe someone else can help more.

okay. Thanks hopefully i can get this fixed. I downloaded Chrome and it says missing plug in for youtube?

But thank you so much for your help

under System>Administration, open Software Source and enable Canonical Parnters

go to terminal by pressing CTL+ATL+T, then type

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install adobe-flash

enter your password when asked. it will not show on the screen

TADA!

if you're trying to download the videos, you can get the addon Video Downloadhelper for firefox.

IM just trying to view them. I tried running them in the terminal and it doesnt work. Idk whats wrong.

Thank you for the help though

it says

shaun@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install adobe-flash

hey thank you for the link i tried what they said that didnt work either. Idk whats wrong i tried getting if from the software center but it says this when i click more info.
it says adobe flash plugin isnt available for this computer for version 10 it has in (amd64)

Did you see the note at the top of the page?

If you want to install only flash for amd64, this is more complicated, if however you want to install MP3+flash+other stuff, that page advised you to click on a link that takes you to the page on how to install the restricted extras package:
