[sf-lug] Youtube Issues

[Mark K. Zanfardino]

Blake,

Really?  What distro are you using again?  I've been working with Ubuntu
(Kubuntu, strictly speaking) for the last year and haven't had any
problems with ntfs-3g.  In fact, the latest release (gutsy) seemed to
install the support be default.  I'm able to read and write to my ntfs
disk without any issues.  I'm particularly happy with the ntfsprogs
package, as it lets me do things with ntfs that microsoft never provided.

I suppose it's just one of those things.  

Cheers!

>> So I have been having issues with youtube recently. At first it was every other video I would watch would freeze and lock up my firefox browser. As of last night every video freezes after about 3 seconds. I am trying to think of what changes I have made to my system and the only thing that comes to mind is I installed Automatix (http://www.linux.com/articles/114124)
