  • I have a questions about your question? First of all, what happens when you try to watch YouTube? Do you get an error? Second, when you say "amd pros", do you mean "AMD processor"? PS: I would always recommend using complete sentences when asking any website for help. – TSJNachos117 Mar 16 '14 at 03:19

You likely need flash player.

Open a terminal (control-alt-t), and type the following:

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer

Once it's done installing, exit the terminal and then restart your browser.

You may possibly need to enable multiverse for this to work, see this link for how: How do I enable the "multiverse" repository?

  • Assuming User258665 isn't using some outdated browser, shouldn't YouTube be able to fall back to HTML5 if FlashPlayer either fails or isn't even installed? – TSJNachos117 Mar 16 '14 at 03:22
