HOWTO : Play Youtube With HTML5 Instead of Flash

Recently, Hacking Team (a team of hackers which help governments to monitor and hack their citizens) has been hacked and some (at least 3 at the time of this writing) Flash player 0day expolits by Hacking Team were disclosed. Flash is now considered as vulnerable for all systems as it has no fix at the moment.

Firefox has been disabled the Flash from being played unless you enable it. How to watch Youtube videos? I suggest you to install "Youtube Flash-HTML5" add-on if you are using Firefox. You can enable Flash or HTML5 at anytime.

That's all! See you.

UPDATE

According to Google Project Zero, Flash v18.0.0.209 is also vulnerable.

HOWTO : Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop for Traditional Chinese users

Step 1 : Install Ubuntu

Select Traditional Chinese from the menu when you install and follows the instruction on screen. Choose Taiwan as time zone no matter you are living in Hong Kong or not. You may change to the correct time zone after the installation.

After that, you should update your Ubuntu.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade


Step 2 : Install Traditional Chinese language support

Go to System >> Administration and select Language Support. Install the missing language pack. Make sure the panel displays "Chinese (Taiwan)" after the installation.

Step 3 : Install SCIM - Chinese Input Method (Optional)

Since the default Input Method - iBus is not mature and complete, I choose SCIM instead.

sudo apt-get install scim scim-modules-table scim-chewing scim-pinyin scim-chinese

After the install, you should logout and re-login or reboot instead.

After the re-login or reboot, go to System > Administration and select Language Support. Changes "iBus" to "SCIM" on the panel.

Step 4 : Bug fix the Flash on YouTube (Optional)

After played the Youtube with browser, you may find the Chinese characters not displayed well and correctly. You can fix it by the following steps.

sudo nano /etc/fonts/conf.d/49-sansserif.conf

Replaces the last fourth line where "sans-serif" to "sans".

Logout and re-login or reboot instead to make the change works.

That's all. See you.
