(Solved) Ubuntu 10.10 and Adobe Flash
just a heads up. It seems one of the recent updates to 10.10 is causing the adobe flash plug-in to crash in full screen. It wasn't doing that when I first installed 10.10s. And I have other non-ubuntu guests without the same issue.

for whatever reason I had to turn off hardware acceleration in Adobe Flash in Ubuntu 10.10 but not in 10.04loukingjr wrote:just a heads up.

Re: (Solved) Ubuntu 10.10 and Adobe Flash
if you installed flash from the repositories, that might be the reason. Probably a newer version or something changed with 10.10 allowing flash hardware acceleration.

I'm not sure what you meant but, I usually just let update manager upgrade whatever it wants to. One would hope Ubuntu wouldn't add a flashplayer version that wasn't compatible. But who knows.Sasquatch wrote:if you installed flash from the repositories, that might be the reason. Probably a newer version or something changed with 10.10 allowing flash hardware acceleration.

Re: (Solved) Ubuntu 10.10 and Adobe Flash
I really think it has to do with everyone trying to catch up with the changes in Ubuntu (and others) this go-round. I have been watching and the new xorg (1.9) has been hard on everyone that has tried to adapt it with their latest releases. Fedora 14 finally has a daily update that works in VirtualBox, and even launchpad is ridden with reports of glitches. Nothing to do but wait as I am sure they will all get it together soon. They can't afford not to. But this is just my educated opinion.
I think that Sas. might have been saying is to trying something from PPA as most of us that beta test and try to push the envelope usually try to fix problems from there. I know I have fixed a lot of problems simply installing different kernels (remember the SMP issue with 9.10) that was a bad one.

Re: (Solved) Ubuntu 10.10 and Adobe Flash
What I meant is that flash player 10.0 could have been supplied by the 10.04 repo and Ubuntu 10.10 has flash 10.1. That update made the difference.

Re: (Solved) Ubuntu 10.10 and Adobe Flash
Note that this is not a VirtualBox specific issue and has been a general Flash + Ubuntu problem.
This thread covers it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1593363, and has a good fix.
