Hi, I'm having trouble with Youtube on Ubuntu. It does plays, but very poorly and the interface is always all mangled up. Flash on websites also can't play either. I already installed Flash and Java. Is there any way that I can fix this issue? Also, how can I use AIM on Ubuntu? Does Pidgin allow me to access my account? Thanks.

When you say that you have installed Flash and Java
1) Have you installed flashplugin-nonfree ? See http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash . You may need to enable extra repositories for this. See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources
2) You need Javascript which is different from Java. To check if Javascript is enabled you can do the following in Firefox.
a. Click "Edit > Preferences"
b. Click on "Content"
c. "Enable JavaScript" should be checked

Looks like AIM is covered by Pidgin.
