flash not working AT ALL...

English Multimedia
#1

When I want to play a video on youtube (in Firefox), this is what happens:
1, the rectangular thing/screen appears, where the video should be played, but no play button, no nothing
2. it shows the play button, the bar and everything, but no sound, no video… a message appears saying it needs codec, but I have those installed (checked with Software Manager)
3. same thing, only it needs Sorenson Spark Video, but I can’t find such thing…

Flash-based applications on Facebook don’t work either…

It won’t work on Konqueror either (tried the Configure/Plugins stuff, but netscape plugin is listed there…)

Even though I have both Flash player AND the plugin installed… even re-installed, just to make sure… no use…

I’m new on Linux, so please… try to be understandable for novices too… ****

Are you using a 32 bit or 64 bit openSUSE?

can you open a terminal and issue:

ls -hal /usr/lib/browser-plugins

then copy/paste the results back to here
