64-Bit Flash Fix

THIS GUIDE IS NOT FOR MINI 9/10v & VOSTRO A90 Users
These machines are 32-bit only and the following is not needed.

This guide is for other 64-bit users (my desktop run Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit) who are running into problems playing/clicking YouTube Videos using the nspluginwrapper and 32-bit Flash plugin.

In a terminal type:
sudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer

add the following before the last line of the text:
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
- then Save

64-bit flash fix
- You can use this picture as a reference, the needed line is highlighted in grey.

Now when you click a YouTube video it will actually play.
- Enjoy!
