I am using Ubuntu 13.10. My Youtube isn't playing since three days. I upgraded the system. Re-installed Ubuntu restricted extras package. Still not working.
It's not working with any browser... I tried firefox, chrome.
Same thing happened with me a while ago with my ubuntu 14.04 gnome, and got no particular answer from the community.
What I did,
After successful installation of adobe-flashplugin
package, when I looked for flash plugin(which is libflashplayer.so
) in mozilla plugin directory (/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
) it wasn't there.
So I copied the plugin from
/usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
which i don't know why was there instead of mozilla/plugins
directory.
So, I copied from this directory to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin/
and it worked for me.
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
to install..
