Binary package hint: firefox

On the site www.youtube.com any chosen movie give me the following error msg "An error occurred, please try again later" -- when I use a windows workstation i can access the movie without any issue.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 and supported until April 2013.

If you want to watch youtube movies you can do that by installing the adobe flashplugin.
You can do this by removing gnash: sudo apt-get remove gnash
and then: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
Although you will be installing non-free proprietary software. If this is undesirable, we can request a backport of an updated version of gnash, but there is no guarantee that the request will be granted, or that it will fix the problem.
