I searched, and searched and searched some more for hours to no avail.
I tried using Firefox, Chrome and Chromium, and also tried downloading Flash, pepper flash, using html5 and a slew of other options. Looked here, at documentation, reddit and can't find a sensible answer that works.
Videos simply load, but don't play.
What's the work around? What do you have to do to be able to watch a video on youtube?
First day trying linux/Ubuntu and I'm a tad frustrated.

Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
third comman g streamers:
It's very arcane and long. It does start with this message though:
WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
Angel:
That worked! No audio though....
ANOTHER EDIT:
Now I can't even acess my OS. VM asks for password upon reboot, seems to login, then goes straight to login screen again (password is correct).
