Ubuntu :: Graphical Glitches With New Flashplayer?
Feb 19, 2011
I installed the newest Flash player in an update a few days ago, and now ever since last night, every time I watch a Flash video I get graphics problems. It looks as if the Flash video is stuck in the centre of the screen and if anything black (text, notifications) are in the way, they show the video behind them. Hard to explain what I mean Nothing shows up when I run ps ax.
In addition, all Flash videos are now jumbled up with pixels and weird looking glitches.
- Happens with Firefox, Minefield, and Chromium.
- Using latest proprietary NVIDIA drivers available in Jockey
- NVIDIA Geforce 8400m graphics
- Restarting or using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace always fixes the problem.
I'm using FF 3.6.8 on a stock slackware 13.1 system running KDE on an eee pc 1000H. When scrolling up and down in web pages I'm seeing corrupted graphics. It's as if about 20 or so rows of pixels are missed out in the rendering or sometimes as if 20 or so rows of pixels are repeated.Firefox is still quite usable but it is quite annoying.Also, konqueror and sea monkey are fine - no other applications are affected.
Its a lot easier to just post a screenshot than to describe whats going on. View attached screenshot. Notice how there are random graphical glitches in the title bar and behind some of the icons in the dock.
I am using the free ati drivers and my gpu
lspci|grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M76 [Radeon Mobility HD 2600 Series]
The pc is a gateway laptop.
I have tried fglrx but there are even more problems such as a extreme mouse and keyboard lag...among other issues.
On a related note, I am often logging out then back in because restarting unity seems to fix the glitches although they eventually return. Is there any program that gives the option of reloading unity, like the compiz fuzion icon? Or some commands in terminal that will do the same thing?
I've just installed 10.04 64bit on my iMac 27" i7 and before fighting with keyboard, mouse, audio. I'd like to share with you a strange behavior of the screen refresh speed, color depth and/or maybe a performance issue with the ATI. It's happening with all the resolutions. The windows borders are "cut" when moving or scaling them, the login screen seems to have a low color depth (as banding issues) and it appears slowly from top to bottom of the screen... for example, when I open the synaptic and the system ask for the password, I can see a very slow fading effect to dark screen.
I've made a full update then install the ATI proprietary drivers (from the ubuntu repositories). Basically I'd love to hear that my problem is a driver issue but it seems that 10.04 comes with the very last drivers from ATI. Does someone experience such a behavior? Does somebody know how to enhance it?
On almost each mp3 file I try to play, VLC will "lag" during the first seconds. There may be some screeching noise. It looks like vlc can't keep up with the bitrate, and it "skips" some bits.
This doesn't happen with totem (the default media player).
I have never had this problem before. But when i run blender3d and alt-tab it glitches out. It happens when I use render(f12), alt-tab and switch desktops. I have also noticed that it does it with Sweethome3d. So it could be a java issue. Not really too sure though. I dont know what I am looking for to search the problem. So I thought I would make a new post and and ..... the issue followed with my Specs.
I reviewed the ..... and it missed alot of the glitches. But you can see some of them they are the pixels all over the screen.
yesterday I've decided to upgrade my distro from F13 to F14 using preupgrade. There were no errors during installation, but after first boot I've noticed glitches in GTK widgets in GDM and other windows after logon (strange white strips on buttons, progress bars and more). Moreover there were even worse glitches in gnome-do. I've attached two screenshots to show exactly what I [URL] I think this is a problem directly connected with upgrading the distro as there are no mentioned glitches when running standard live version of Fedora 14.
i noticed that almost every few seconds my conky just freezes for minute or-two after i add two torrents to download. Actually, it almost doesn�t work/stays freezed almost all the time.Is there something to fix this?
For some reason, I seem to be getting audio glitches or hick ups when I play my mp3s on Ubuntu 10.10. Everything else works fine. Would this be a hardware or software issue?
since I've upgraded to 11.04 on my Dell Latitude E6400, every time I close the lid and open it again, Ubuntu fires up but the screen itself is totally messed up, it's just random patterns all over the screen. The laptop is locked, so I can type in my password, hit enter, and once I'm logged in again the screen is perfectly fine, so the system itself works, only the display is the problem
I am using Debian testing on my ThinkPad T400s laptop for almost two years now. I just have been on short vacation, and when I've got back, I saw pretty comprehensive upgrade of vital parts, like kernel (3.0), gnome (3.0), gdm (3.0). Since I am using true Firefox and Thunderbird, they also went up (6.0).
Anyhow, after aptitude safe-upgrade (with some minor problems), I got everything updated. However, I realize that the whole system is much slower and unstable than before. For example, applications are slower at start, Firefox and Thunderbird crash when you want to save something (like attachment, of pdf-file, or the like). Also, problems with unmounting usb drives [URL]... Does anyone else experience similar problems? What would be the best thing to do, to prevent some serious system failure (I need my system for my work, and I always get nervous when this kind of things happen)?
I am experiencing problems with sound in Maverick on my Dell Inspiron i6400. When the video gets busy while playing sound, the sound gets highly degraded (dropouts, glitches, clicks and cracklings). For example, it happens when an advert animation is playing on a webpage, or when scrolling a document/a webpage. It especially happens when scrolling a document in evince. This is a frustrating issue since I basically cannot work while playing music! My sound chipset is a Intel HDA ICH7.
An important point is that it only happens when I use a "large" screen resolution (eg 1920x1080), and not when the resolution equals or is below 1280x800. Therefore I think this is related to the video side. The two CPU's cores (Intel T2050@1.60GHz) never reach 100% load when the problem arises. The memory is not full either. I use Compiz and various desktop effects, but the problem still remains without it. My video card is an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 with 256 Mb of RAM (using the default free driver shipped with Ubuntu). Also, the video is fluid and flawless so I do not understand where the problem comes from. This might be related to a priority/ordering issue, I do not know.
The most relevant bug report I found is the following one:
I first noticed this problem when trying to play a first person shooter game. If I hold a key down such as "w" the mouse glitches and moves incredibly erratically when I try to look around. This happens outside of the games as well. What is the solution for this?I'd really like to be able to play an fps game.I have tried disabling compiz as well as turning off the "disable trackpad while typing" option as well.
I'm not a Linux noob, but I am far from guru. I'm running a single board computer with a slightly customized Debian Etch (customized by the SBC vendor). No Gnome/KDE/X installed. My application is a control application which uses SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to paint some basic graphics on the VGA. I need to run it as root because the application calls iopl() to access an IO port.If I run my application manually from the command line, life is sweet. From Googling around, I found http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28, and hence I:1) Created a script in /etc/init.d2) Executed "update-rc.d scriptName defaults" to link the script into the boot sequenceAll very straightforward. My application starts at boot. But when I try to SSH/SFTP into the SBC, I get "Connection refused". So I can't manage the SBC anymore, and this is a big problem. I am not sure if it's relevant, but my application starts before the SSH daemon.My script looked like:
case "$1" in start) echo "Starting my application"
I normally used Fedora 12, when panels gets this strange glitches:I've using Fedora for 2 months and this never happened before. GNOME and GDM version are 2.28.2 and graphic driver are open ATi/Radeon. Nothing worked to fix this - deleting .gconf and rest of GNOME configuration files.

I'm using LXDE on a HP510 Laptop, it's onboard graphics chipset is a: Intel Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller. I am not using an xorg.conf file, so the settings are just the default autodetect ones I assume. I've noticed it when scrolling in firefox, and can't seem to get it to do it when scrolling in other applications, but I haven't really used this laptop much since installing the Fedora 12 LXDE spin recently. I'm not sure what information to supply that will help you help me. Here is a screenshot to show what happens.
I dunno what the big black box is, its only visible on the screenshot. I had to bind a script to printscreen to get it to make a screenshot, so its probably something I need to do here to get rid of it?
I also can't get the touchpad scrolling to work. Or my external monitor without some issues. So I think I will be making an xorg.conf file at some point.
My collection contains some MP3s which have some glitches like
displaying the wrong duration on loading minor jumps suddenly ending despite the duration claims another minute remaining noise
I'm looking for a tool that can detect as many of these glitches as possible and fix those that can be fixed (obviously e.g. noise can not simply be eliminated in most cases).
This is not exactly Ubuntu question but i don't know where else to ask. I'm trying to setup a Wireless Linux router. My ISP provides multicast IPTV. I've got the whole thing setup'ed with igmpproxy and hostpad. On wired connection IPTV works flawlessly, but on wireless connection IPTV glitches badly and router start to time out. My wireless card is DWA-552 I'm using ath9k driver. More info in my post on LinuxQuestions.org Did anyone tried to setup Wireless Router with IPTV?
Just what the title says, Natty Narwhal doesn't want me on ..... or other Flash powered sites in either Chrome or Firefox. Clicking the "Install Adobe Flash" button sends me to the Adobe website where I can install it, but nothing works.
On my lucid install I upgraded to Firefox 6. Once I did that, I discovered that flash-player crashed. I tried flash-aid and tried every possible flash alternative.That did not work either. I decided to upgrade to Firefox 7 beta. It is the same story there. When I had Firefox 5, flash worked fineMy system is an amd quad-core 3ghz with ati 4200 graphics. Flash worked until my upgrades to Firefox 6 then to Firefox 7.
I installed the new flashplayer beta 10.1 and the video is good except it is all a pink haze. It seems to have problems with colors. Im presuming it is to do with a flashplayer installation problem, or could it be my video settings etc ? (eg perhaps my integrated video card can't take the strain ?)
Yes there are probably about 10 000 security flaws with the old one but the performance of 10.1 just does not cut it for me. I was much happier with the old version and I was stupid enough to let it get upgraded.

I have ubuntu version 4.10 with Mozilla Firefox as a browser. I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player plugin but I do not know how to get the plugin installed. I can navigate through the terminal a little but still learning. I do not know how to save the (.tar.gz) download to the desktop so it can be unpackaged and then copied to the usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder. I am hoping the same procedure to install this plugin will be the same for the rest of the browser plugins.
I have downloaded FireFox 4 RC (wow - fast!) and have a Flashplayer issue - the FarmVille game which uses the FlashPlayer does not load - the message was:
Code: If your game does not load within 10 seconds, you may need to upgrade your version of Flash. Please do so by clicking here I did just that - usually Adobe website will tell you if your FlashPlayer is already up to date for the browser you access with it, OR, give you the option to update (which I did in my case) - but after updating, it still does not bring FarmVille up, and I get the same message, click the Adobe Link, and offers me to update it again.
Anyone know a workaround - because the new Firefox has the speed like Google Chrome does, and FireFox has been my favorite for years, but I have resorted to using Google Chrome for the past several months due to its speed (I have only 1 MB DSL download speed, and it seems that FarmVille is better with such speed).
Did an update, no idea if that has anything to do with it, not anything to do with flashplayer that I noticed but could have been perhaps, and flashplayer has gone down. So no videos from ..... etc.
I just installed FC10 and i'm using Firefox 3.6 (the newest version)when i try to access ..... in gnu, it works fine, but for some reason in KDE it says i'm missing the plug in.When i click the link for installing the plug in, it starts downloading and installing, but gets interrupted saying the plug in is already installed.
