I recently means TODAY installed Ubuntu along with Windows 7 means this is a dual boot system.

So this is the case

I installed Ubuntu 11.10 and than upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and after installing the updates , Youtube videos are not playing . I'm using CHROME as my primary browser. Flash player is installed by default but still i uninstall it and re install it just to make sure everything is ok. But still videos are playing.

Chrome Version 19.0.1084.56

Adobe flash player is bundled with Google Chrome by default, but isn't pre-installed in Ubuntu. Can you elaborate on the part where you uninstalled and reinstalled it. – mikewhatever Jun 13 '12 at 21:50
Ya it is , as i said it was not working even before RE-INSTALLATION I re-installed it from Ubuntu Software Center – Umair Mustafa Jun 13 '12 at 22:06

Again, how did you uninstall the flash player bundled with Google Chrome? As for your info, the Software Center won't affect it. Hope it's clear now. – mikewhatever Jun 14 '12 at 4:01

Try install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package. It installs all the non-free media codecs that allows you to play videos or music. Search for that in the software center, and then install it.

You can install Flash and ubuntu-restricted-extras together if you want.
