[sf-lug] Can't seem to watch this movie

[Kai Chang]

9.10 karmic 32-bit worked for me.  I've run this command since installing:*

*
*sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras*

I also went here to download and install the newest flashplayer from Adobe
in .deb format:

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Hope this helps
