Linus Torvalds has a sense of humour. "Youtube no workee - Fedora 9 not usable for wife." So begins a bug he filed on Fedora's Bugzilla. "I didn't try a lot of videos, but I couldn't find a single one that actually worked. And what's the internet without the rick-roll? Some just show a light gray background, some give the play buttons etc, but show only a black screen even when the red ball at the bottom moves along. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install current Fedora 9; 2. Rick-roll!; 3. No profit!" Thanks to Fefes Blog and dr_evil in #haiku for pointing this one out.

Fedora 9 Beta installs swfdec by default instead of Gnash since swfdec uses gstreamer. Which means Linus, a long term Fedora user actually got the video working by installing the gstreamer-plugins-ffmpeg. Refer the bug report for details.
