only certain games are doing this, I haven't seen any other kind of flash have problems
Everything works for a while, then after a few minutes there start to be flickers of boxes, some of them colored, some black
they are only on the screen for about one minute, and only in the frame of the game
I have flash player 10 but some application flickering and don't get draw correctly.

I din't give much attention in past (even if tried some repeating flashplayer installations) but last month I'm building a flash arcade site and this flash player problem become a real pain.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo some flash games don't seem to play nice with Ubuntu. Some do. I have no problem playing Cursed Treasure, but when I try to play, say, Learn To Fly, the opening page loads, but then when I click the "play" link, it does nothing.
Also, using the latest release of Ubuntu.
I play two online games. One uses flash (Habbo), the other java (RuneScape). With the flash one, it loads everything up until the part where it loads the interactive elements (hovering navigators, interactive chat rooms etc), then it crashes and tells me to reload. With the java one, everything loads up until the login screen, but when I actually go to log in, it just sits there and tells me it's connecting but doesn't do anything.
I've asked the support team on Habbo for assistance, but I got a reply telling me to clear my temporary files with instructions for windows machines, even though I specified I was on Ubuntu. I did what they instructed me to (which was clearing everything from my DNS cache to my temporary files), with no amazing results. Runescape was pretty much the same. I think it's something to do with my internet... I'm not really an expert at this.
I just got fedora 13 today and put it on a slightly older computer to mess around with it, and two things I realized.
1. I installed Flash player through a program called easyLiving, but when i play flash games online like on armorgames, everything will play fine, but sound will play about 2 seconds late with actions.
2. I can't play .wmv files from my MP3 player, I found some codes online and installed them, but now it just looks like I have 3 different audio players in mozilla and I'm not sure which kind to enable, and I still can't play .wmv movies. (I actually believe that problem 1 is unrelated, because I noticed it before I started downloading different audio players.)
I just started using Linux today on an inherited acer aspire one laptop. got myself tied into my home's wifi, but now i need a flash player so I can play games and watch video. Adobe has 5 different options for linux and I don't have any idea which one to pick.

I just got my hands on an MSI E7235-295US and slapped Ubuntu 9.10 on it. So far everything's worked great, but I am beginning to get a bit concerned about my sound quality. The laptop itself has 5 speakers + subwoofer so I should be getting 5.1 sound, if I understand things correctly (the newegg link should provide more details) and when I play anything (music, flash, videos, games, etc...) the sound comes out 'muffled'. Almost as if it is in a concert hall, maybe. I initially wondered if the problem is related to the 5 speakers and if the sound is initially only setup for two. If that is the case, nothing I've done has seemed to made any real difference. I've tried changing the master/pci channels, but it only hides it a little, and doesn't solve the problem.
This seemed to be on the right track, but the laptop is still really new and not listed in the alsa file.

I've had this problem on a few flash games (a couple of EA's sports management games on Facebook, and the Pokemon Dream World.) When I first use them everything's fine, but as I continue coming back to them, they seem to run a little slower each time. Ultimately in the case of the former two it got so bad that they were unusual.
Why is this happening? If they were slow from the start I could understood, but what could be making them go wrong on repeated plays?
I'm on 32 bit Kubuntu Lucid, firefox is my browser, and it's the official flash plugin.
Recently i've installed 10.10 and have a problem with flickering screen on VGA. I have 64-bit release, ge force 210, nvidia propietary drivers and two monitors:
- AOC_1920*1080_60_DVI
- Philips_1280*1024_75_VGA
- nvidia-current, 260.19.12, 2.6.35-22-generic, x86_64: installed
No matter which monitor is attached to VGA, it flickers randomly every couple of minutes. Sometimes it flickers when i use mouse or keyboard, but sometimes it flickers by itself.
I don't know if this has been asked already, but I cant seem to find it anywhere. I have a gateway, p 7915u with an nvidia 260gtx graphics card. im trying to install ubuntu 9.10 64-bit on it but the screen keeps flickering before I can even install it or try without change.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI downloaded the 9.10 from the Ubuntu website (not as torrent, but as direct download) and I burnt the ISO image in a CD. I intruduced the CD in the computer where I want to install Ubuntu and I rebooted it. Then the Ubuntu install-try menu appeared. I chose "try" and appeared a white ubuntu logo fading in and out, and then some text that was like the boot up of Ubuntu. In that point, the screen starts flickering every second, and when I push the power-off button of my computer it stops flickering and says something like "you pressed power off - please remove the CD and close the tray", and then the computer shuts down.
The same happens when I choose Install. At the point it appears a progress number (0%) of the file system, the screen starts flickering and the progress it seems it stops, or at less it's extremely slow.My computer it's a bit old but I think that's not the problem. It's a Pentium IV at 3'40Ghz, 1GB of RAM and what seems to have the problem, a Nvidia Quadro 256MB graphics card (I don't know the exact model but if you need it I can find it).
I did a fresh install of Ubuntu Studio 11.04 on a machine with Vista previously installed. The computer also came with a Personal Media Drive (movable harddisk) of 500GB. The only modification to the HW conf is that I recently added a harddisk of 2 TB that I wanted to install Ubuntu on. (I.e. in total 4 harddisks on the scsi slots)I ran the install cd that I burnt form the iso and I chose the option to manually partition the disks, and I only partitioned the new Harddisk. The installer chose to make some partitions: grub as the boot loader, one ext4 partition of 2 TB and 3.5 GB swap space (and some kb of waste space).
The install cd was readable and the tests that could be performed on the install cd itself and on memory terminated ok, and install seemed to have worked fine. It also discovered the Vista / ntfs partitions. I thought the install would work ok since I had made the new disk the 1st to boot in the HDD boot priority in BIOS setup.
When I rebooted after install I got a blank screen. I then tried with making the Vista HDD the 1st to boot in BIOS, and then I got the GRUB screen with two options for ubuntu two for mem tests and two for the Vista partitions.I found it strange that GRUB would take over, since the grub partition should be on the new lower prioritized HDD in the boot order.When I run the first Vista option everything works. Vista boots. However, when trying to get it to boot either of the ubuntu options I get a flickering screen, in the normal ubuntu boot a white one where the upper third of the screen is more steadily lit up whereas the lower 2/3 is flickering. When booting with failsafe option the color is red/pink instead, but with the same flickering.
I've just installed a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 (I'm using Windows 7), after completing the installation, may laptop rebooted but following the white icon of Ubuntu were the 2 lines "Ubuntu 9.10 computername tty1 ...etc" appears and I could not login due to flickering.
My laptop is T500 Lenovo with ATI Radeon HD3650.
I just connected my LCD TV to my desktop and now I get two things happening which I didn't get when I used a proper monitor:
the screen scrolls down and sort of flickers every minute or so, plus: every few minutes it goes competely 'blank' i.e. reverts to the blue screen of my TV when there is no signal.
It should be in Ubuntu NOT Kubuntu!
When attempting to boot into Ubuntu 10.04, the screen constantly flickers. It'll stay off for about 2-3 seconds, then come back on for <1 second. This constantly occurs. When reaching the main screen (I think), I attempt to move into a TTY terminal, but the flicker continues. I have attempted to reset the X Server, stop the X server, etc., issue remains. The monitor does not turn off during this flickering. I am able to type, obviously.
Here are my system specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual (6000+)
2.00 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD2600 XT (x2, Crossfire)
HP w2207h 22" Monitor, connected via HDMI
I also have VGA inputs on the back of the monitor and can attempt to switch the input, but that requires me to dig through a box looking for a cable, so I figured I'd post this issue first.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, and I've got a strange issue where the TV I use as a display (via DVI to HDMI cable) flickers off for a second and reconnects as if I just changed the input mode on the TV. It seems to happen most often at times of highest processor use. The video card on this PC is a x850 AGP, on a pentium 4 @ 2.4ghz, 512mb RDRam, etc.
I'm running the "radeon" driver, as fglrx isn't supported on the legacy cards. The TV I'm running it on is a 52" Sharp Aquos, and it doesn't have this issue with my PS3, or when I hook my laptop up to it. I'm unsure of how to proceed, as it gets extremely annoying when I'm doing anything processor intensive (which for this, is almost anything), along with the occasional random flicker off-then-on. It occurs at least once every five minutes, sometimes every ten seconds.
I've got a dell optiplex gx620 running 10.04. I just upgraded it from 9.04 (through 9.10 first). The reason I upgraded was becasue I had some problems after installing VLC. Once I'd done this my desktop stopped loading up... in 9.04 I just got the desktop background appearing and top and and bottom toolbars + the mouse pointer all flickering and egg timing. Now in 10.04 I get pretty much the same thing, just the mouse pointer and the occasional white box in the centre of the screen as if it's trying to display a logon box for me but it just can't quite get there... (it used to auto logon).
So, being a noob, I figure I'll just upgrade and hope that that sorts things out... so here I am a whole two distributions down the line still with the same problem. I've had a look around the xorg.conf and found that everything is pretty much default, I did change the device from fx***something*** to vesa in a random attempt to fix things. No dice... same issue. I then had a look in the x log and didn't really see any errors appearing.So I am now wondering if the prolem is X or if it's something else? Trouble is I don't really know where to start.
I just did a fresh install of Natty. My systray is flickering, the information widget moves around unless I hover over the systray, My icons aren't showing up.

View 3 Replies View Relatedso i have been trying to install ubuntu for quite some time now and i have run into a bit of a roadblock.
I have tried to install 9.10 and it installs just fine (the GUI works just fine and everything seemingly goes ok), however when i go to boot it, i get to a flickering screen asking for my username and password (this is not the gnome login screen, it is just a blank black prompt asking for me to login). however, the flickering is inhibiting me from easily entering anything in from my keyboard. Thus, i cannot log in to fix the problem (i cannot enter my password because i dont know if the keys i am entering are being accepted or not). and recovery mode does the same thing.
This happens if i try installing it straight up, or if i install it inside windows. I have tried all kinds of boot options and install options (all that acpi crap) but none of it works.
i even tried installing some of my old copies of ubuntu (8.04), but when i do that the grub cannot load the linux kernel. I have also tried both the 64-bit and the 32-bit versions to no avail.
I am running an ASUS motherboard, AMD quad core x64, dual Nvidia geforce 8600's, 6 gigs of ram, and PLENTY of hard disk space.
I am not a noob to linux at all, but i have never encountered a problem like this and i have no clue how to fix it. Hell, i dont even know how to go about fixing it without logging in.
