I use Dooble version 0.07 which comes along with Ubuntu 12.04 repositories. I cannot make flash-plugin work with Dooble no matter what. I have tried to find the default folder for Dooble plugins to copy-paste the flash module(s) in there but no luck so far. Maybe someone can help me with this one?

Please don't send me to the Dooble official page or tell me to upgrade to the latest version because I have already tried and I don't like the latest Dooble release (v. 1.47).

This is the Dooble.conf file, Maybe someone can help me add an entry for flash module located in /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so:

Config file

It shows a video loading on YouTube, but no video plays, like in the following image. Other video websites tell me to install flush-plugin, and there is no video at all:

Dooble 0.07&Flash videos

In the end, I decided for a compromise: I use Dooble mostly, and Mozilla Firefox for heavy duty Internet tasks.

Dooble is currently at version 1.46, meaning that 0.07 is ancient. You should download the latest version from their website.

If you are for some reason unable to do that, it may work if you try YouTube's html5 support.

Do you have any other browser installed ?

  • If so; what is the status of youtube videos there ?

I installed Dooble on my Ubuntu 13.10 (latest version from software center) and Youtube videos worked very well.

So; Try installing Ubuntu Restricted extras by running the following in your terminal.

 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

or maybe just 

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

I managed to find myself a simple way to make flash-plugin work for Dooble 0.07. It is enough to add the following line to Dooble config file located in your user home directory, and specifically inside ~/home/username/.config/Dooble/Dooble.conf:

 flashEnabled=true

And this is how the new Dooble.conf section for Java and Flash would look like:

 javascriptEnabled=true
 javascriptAllowNewWindows=true
 displayDesktopCheckBox=false
 proceedToNewTab=true
 openInNewTab=true
 flashEnabled=true

Flash player in Dooble 0.07 works mainly for streaming videos that load automatically, and it may not work for other videos where it is required to perform extra tasks to activate flash videos.
