cannot play flash in 64x Ubuntu 7.10
Hello.
I have recently installed Ubuntu 7.10 64x in a dual boot with Vista HP 64x. Both systems are working well apart from a few issues.
In Ubuntu I initially found that Firefox would not play flash with the exception of Youtube.
I installed Swiftweasel 32x and this plays all flash content.
However I then installed Swiftweasel 64x and found the same problem as before. It would not play flash apart from Youtube.
I have been on several forums and have installed and uninstalled nspluginwrapper and flashplugin-nonfree many times to no avail.
If I browse Digg for example, sites with flash content such as Metacafe, Collegehumor etc won't work. I either get a buffering message that goes nowhere or just a blank box where the video should be. On some sites it appears to be starting but the one quadrant of the square box is blacked out and that's it.
I still cannot get flash to work in 64x browsers.
Eventually Kilz (on 64x Forum) suggested I report it as a bug to yourselves plus Adobe plus nspluginwrapper.
So far I have only managed to report to you. The other two sites seem diffiicult to navigate in terms of reporting a bug.
In Vista 64x I am running Opera 9.5 without these issues.
My hardware is as follows-Q6600 CPU, nVidia Geforce 8600GT, Asus P5N-E SLI, 4GB RAM, 500GB SATA HDD.
I should add that I am a complete newbie to Linux and pretty much a newbie to computers in general. Perhaps I've bitten off more than I can chew with 2 new OSs in 64 bit
I do hope you can help, John Williams, Lancashire UK
