I just downloaded Ubuntu. But when I go to YouTube the videos play horribly and I get a window saying the plug in is needed but then when I try to add it it says it can't find a suitable plug in. I have tried to download flash player and Lightstream and I have no idea what is going on with either one. I keep launching them over and over and nothing works. I have no idea what to do, can someone help?

Easy answer: Load google Chrome - adobe stopped supporting Flash Player for Linux about a year ago.

I faced the same problem in my new Linux Mint and got an easy solution.

Open Terminal and type in :

sudo apt-get install pepperflashplugin-nonfree

If you are not comfortable with terminals follow this GUI tutorial by Ubuntu :
