    Xubuntu 12.04

    Youtube videos are very laggy/choppy and unable to watch. (Although there is no problem with the audio)
    Flash videos on other websites seem to work fine.

    Have you the latest video drivers installed?
    Have you switched to the HTML5 version by accident?

    I've had this problem since the flash 11.2.202.275 update came along last month. The .280 update a few days ago doesn't seem to have cured it. Right clicking brings up the KDE flash control panel but it only has the option to disable local storage, not increase it. It was fine before the .275 update so I think flash is just broken :(

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    I didn't change to HTML5 and the local stoage is 10mb, I've tried unlimited as well.

    It's kind of hard to explain,
    it seems the whole web page slows down when scrolling down, liking and/or adding a video to a favourite.

    The video will have buffered and started but the time will be stuck on 0:00 (audio playing fine) and every good few seconds the time might change. The play/pause video is also laggy.

    strange. Im on KDE and right clicking on the vid gives me the whole menu list including settings. I have seen some stalling of the page on occasion but then just reload the page .
    Apart from that I have no idea.
    Im on 11.202.262
