I have installed Adobe Flash Player 9. when I attempt to view news or sports video on the internet multimedia player I get an error message; there is no input plugin to handle this location

I appreciate any help, thanks

Are you sure it's flash?
Can you provide a link?
Does any flash work?

Was the Flash install successful?

kamau rono · 13-Jul-2007, 12:31 AM #4

Was it here: http://macromedia.rediris.es/

What distro?

well yeah, id only just installed ubuntu, had installed wubi previously but had only used it for surfing hadnt really done alot with it.
So when installed ubuntu on my media tower and couldnt get a dvd to play, when asked for help the advice I was given on the ubuntu forums just went way over my head to be honest, posted on here and someone gave me the link installed getautomatix and it got what I wanted , its a must for newbies just to get the basics going. The problem is us newbies have been so entrenched in windows that basically does everything for you, it comes as a bit of a shock when you have to actually find the answer yourself. Im loving ubuntu at the mo and do laugh at myself when using windows and go to do something that I would do in ubuntu. I love it for the fact that its virtually virus free and feel more secure. It rescued my media pc from the ntldr issue in windows installed it and everything is fine now. Dad is well gutted as he gave me the tower and said it didnt work.

Sounds great!

When I get back on Windows machines (occasionally to convert friends) i always type 'ifconfig' and 'ls' to no avail. Glad everything's solved! :-)!

so am I was at the end of my tether that morning I can tell you media tower+window=smashed up machine was nearly going to happen

I downloaded automatix but had problems getting it too install. I have decide I need more experience with Debian/Linux , learning the shell and the use of script before installing packages. I'm getting stuck with fundamentals.
Thanks for your help
