Bug Description
I have found that on two of my computers which require the restricted nvidia driver for the nvidia NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] with a fresh install of ubuntu hardy, once the nvidia restricted drivers are installed, flash will not work. Firefox will say flash is not installed, even when it is, and then when going to install it, it says it is already installed. If the restricted drivers are disabled, flash will work again.
I'm sure this is enough for many people with the same problem to keep from switching over to Ubuntu. Without flash a lot of things like YouTube and such will not work and is people run into this issue they're probably not going to use Ubuntu anymore.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" [WWW] http:// www.chiark. greenend. org.uk/ ~sgtatham/ bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.
We have instructions on debugging some types of problems. [WWW] http:// wiki.ubuntu. com/DebuggingPr ocedures
At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!
