** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: konqueror
  
  Flash videos at sites like youtube.com and tudou.com do not work
  properly in Konqueror in Kubuntu Gutsy 7.10 . Opening up a video just
  displays a grey box with audio but no sound. Konqueror slows down/hangs
  but does not crash. Opening up the flash test page at the adobe website,
  does display the flash animation properly though.
  
  I have the following installed:-
  pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.48.0.2+really0ubuntu12_i386.deb
  pool/main/k/kdebase/konqueror_3.5.8-0ubuntu2_i386.deb
  
- Konqueror doesn't seem to be using libflashplayer.so even though
- /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree has been added to plugins>scan folders
+ Could Konqueror be using flashplugin-alternative.so instead of
+ libflashplayer.so even though /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree has been
+ added to plugins>scan folders, and some conflict coming into play?
