I already installed flash player but a message still appears in youtube: `you either have Javascript turned off or an old version of Adobes Flash Player.` I am new in Ubuntu, and I do not know how to turn on Javascript.

actually it is a bug in 7.10

first go to the top panel and go to system-administration-software sources
it will prompt u for the password and a window will appear
then navigate to the updates tab and check 1. important security updates
                                                                       2. recomended updates
                                                                       3. pre-released updates
the click the close button and it will prompt u for reloading click it it will gather all the updates and u will be notified of the updates
install the updates and reboot ur system

then go to this link http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=i386&file=pool%2Fmultiverse%2Ff%2Fflashplugin-nonfree%2Fflashplugin-nonfree_9.0.48.0.2%2Breally0ubuntu12_i386.deb&md5sum=4c2cde9277e18c47a42ae8efc3720eb7&arch=i386&type=main
and click on any of the mirriors to download the flash player.
then install the flash player the same way as installing a software in windows.

Hope this helps u

if u have further questions feel free to ask.
remember u are part of the "linux community".
