Ubuntu - Fix Not Being Able to Stream Youtube Movies

Introduction

If you rent a movie from youtube on ubuntu, chances are that when you try to play it, you will get a message stating "There was an error, try again later" as shown here:

The problem is that ubuntu doesn't have a hardware abstraction layer (HAL) installed by default. With the following steps, we install it and you should be able to play the movie.
    sudo apt-get install hal
    cd ~/.adobe/Flash_Player
    rm -rf NativeCache AssetCache APSPrivateData2
