Another of probably a few linux posts today

So I found my first issue.  As its a new installation of Firefox (3.0 Beta 5), there’s no flash support.  No problem, since Firefox prompts you to install the Flash player, and even gives a few options of different ones to try.

Being a freedom-hater (and wanting to go with the known quantity) I installed the non-free Adobe plugin.

Which worked except there was no sound while Youtube videos were playing.

A quick search of Ubuntu Forums threw up this thread.  Essentially (for anyone else with this problem), all you have to do is fire up Synaptec and install libflashsupport.

Nice easy fix
