Is YouTube supposed to lag in Mandriva 2010?

I just got my first version of Linux yesterday, Mandriva obviously. When I go on YouTube and play videos, it takes me about 20 clicks to pause video or play them again. Does this happen to anyone else?

I'm using Mandriva 2010 x86_64 with the 64 bit flash plugin, and I experience no problems with youtube.

 

As scarecrow says, please tell us which version you have, and whether 32 bit or 64 bit and a bit more about the problem.

I'm pretty sure its a 32 bit, my cousin loaded it on last night cause my Vista broke, so I'm new to Linux.

There could be a number of reasons for this, but try this first. Open Firefox, and then in the url bar type:

 

about:config

 

then filter for ipv6. There will be a key:

 

network.dns.disableIPv6 = false

 

double-click this so that it is set to "true". Then try youtube again and let us know. If not, then maybe system-wide ipv6 needs to be disabled. But one change at a time :)
