I am using Maverick Meercat on an Acer Aspire 5100 with 2GB of RAM and an ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 graphics card.
I can't watch any video at all on this computer. I use both Firefox and Chrome and they both have the same problem. When I attempt to watch vimeo or youtube videos the playback is so choppy that it can't be watched. I have installed everything I can (I think so anyway, I am a beginner with all this linux).
Any idea's? When the computer was running XP it didn't have these issues...
Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal
):sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
and restart Firefox.
