Flash doesn't work, pulseaudio doesn't work, playing videos results in random irrecoverable crashes. WTF?
Is anyone else having these problems? Know any fixes? I've installed flash 10.

Flash works for X86 linuxs not for x64 linux since there is no official flash player that works in x64 linux

Flash 10 is in beta, what did you expect it would do?
You need to downgrade to Flash 9, you should be able to get it from the adobe site.

Must totally agree.
My wireless adapter won't work on Hardy Heron. And Firefox 3 Beta crashes wayyy too often. I'd rather stick with the old iterations of Ubuntu if I knew there would be so many problems. =(

Flash 9 crashes on every other video with libflashsupport installed. Without libflashsupport, sound doesn't work. o.0 Flash 10 doesn't crash quite so often.
The problem is Flash 10 freezes Firefox for about thirty seconds before playing any video. I think I'm also having asound.conf issues since sound doesn't work while I'm using Firefox.

Strange, Fedora 9 has a similar set of packages, Flash works fine for me, but the beta of Firefox really is somewhat unstable. The main problem I have with Pulseaudio is that things occasionally play on the wrong sound card when I have the USB one plugged in, but you can then just switch it to use the other sound card when that happen.
One assumes it will be better after a few more updates. Firefox 3 gets released soon, apparently. Hopefully that improves things.
Have a look if there are any OSS or ALSA compatibility packages for Pulseaudio, if there is something like that, it may fix your problem.

Hmm. There'll be a 8.04.1 version released in July. I suppose I'll just be patient.
That's strange though--from what I've read, the problem is on Adobe's side. Are you using FF3 with flash? Or is it really unstable for you?

I think the problems I have with Firefox 3 are nothing to do with Flash. Just some sites cause it to crash occasionally.
