I have had quite a bit of trouble now getting flash to work on only one of my machines, the others work just fine. I have installed the flashplugin-installer, ran the .deb from abobe.com, gotten the whatever.so and put it into my firefox folder, tried disabling compiz and now I'm getting frustrated.

View 7 Replies View Relatedi've installed 11.04 on an intel classmate nl1 netbook (atom n270, gma950 graphics, 1gb ram) but have a problem with flash when i visit a specific website. i don't have any other general problems with flash. e.g. videos works perfectly. the problem is a white box flashing on the flashplayer screen. i installed adobe flash 10.3.181.5 and have tried flashaid. if i select low quality in flashplayer then the problem is much less, but it doesn't go completely. i never had this problem before with windows xp when visiting this site on the same netbook.
i asked the website customer services and this was their reply! "no we have not tested the program on ubuntu personally i have never heard of it before. our it suggested downloading google chrome and using that as your internet browser as that is the recommended browser." changing the browser makes no difference. i tested firefox, seamonkey and chrome. could there be some driver issue with the graphics card?
I was wondering if you could help me out with this Flash problem: sometimes, Flash elements don't play in my browser window - there's just a big white area where my Flash should be. I have to close and re-open Firefox. This especially happens when I activate the "Flashblock" plugin, a very useful tool that blocks all Flash unless you click on it and choose to play it. Whenever I have that enabled, most of the time, clicking on the "play" button produces the white area where the Flash object should be. It's Karmic 64 and Firefox 3.5, Shockwave Flash 10.0.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with Plymouth. It works pretty well on low res, but on higher resolution some strange video artefacts appear - see attachments.
I use ATI proprietary drivers, if it has something to do with it.
The resolution is set in /etc/default/grub like this:
Code:
GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1024x768x32
edit: reducing colour depth doesn't help /end edit
I don't know whether it has anything to do with the current problem, but Plymouth used not to appear at all until I followed these instructions (or actually I took them from another thread but I can't find it at the moment and these are the same).
I don't know whether it's possible to take them during booting so I've taken these photos with a mobile and retouched in gimp to remove reflections (more or less), and since I'm no pro photographer nor photoshop/gimp master they look as they look. They should do to demonstrate the problem, though.
I am having a problem. I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Sony Vaio FW series. It has Nvidia graphics that I don't think the OS is taking advantage of, whatever. It also came with 64-bit Windows, it's a 32-bit OS, and again, as far as I have been concerned, whatever. It's been functioning fine for the half a year since I installed it.
Until recently. My computer has been freezing. What happened first is that the screen randomly whited out, fading in splotches to black and then back to white. This freaked me out, but restarting seemed to smooth things out. Then windows in the OS wouldn't resize, then Flash videos would freeze the OS up, repeating the 2 seconds of sound it last played. Over and over again. In a loop. On a white screen. Sometimes with vertical stripes.
This all happens inconsistently, and whenever I restart it's fine again. I just want to know if there's a deeper issue so that I can resolve it. Otherwise I have been completely satisfied, as a previous Windows and OSX user who is computer-competent within a GUI.
I use a flash drive for regular back up and other work and this has been very successful until two days ago. None of my USB flask drives are showing in the Places menu when I connect them. I have a dual boot with Mint and they work perfectly in Mint. A few days ago I was unsuccessfully trying to get my Broadcom wifi card to work and was following threads to install and uninstall various firmware programs. I am not sure if this caused the loss of the USB drive. When I go into System Profiler and Benchmark nothing is showing under USB devices.

The site in question is [URL] These videos show on my other machines, including other Ubuntu 10.04 installs, however nothing loads on my machine. By inspecting the element is still see it in the source code:

Just doesn't display. I'm using the standard flashplugin-installer package, and have tried reinstalling it with no luck. I've also tried going directly to blip.tv and they do not display either. Embedded videos from other sites play fine, it's just blip.tv. They also do not display or load on the blip.tv site.
I have a load of Maxell 2GB flash drives which I bought new.
It has a Public Partition and a Secure partition on the flash drive.
gparted and disk utility see it as 2 volumes. I need remove the 2MB secure partition to make the 2GB stick bootable. However since it's showing up as 2 volumes I can't see how to do it. Probably requires totally wiping the flash drive.
Can anyone recommend how I go about this?
So I made a text file on a windows machine and brought it home on a flashdrive. When I opened it in PCMan File manager it did not show, but executing ls in a terminal shows the text file just fine.

I am getting an annoying intermittent problem with my desktop/X. When I invoke popup menus (usually my cairo main menu from AWN) I get bits of it left over. This stays on top of any other window I open, but if I was to drag desktop icon over it, the image of that would replace it, this is also true for tooltips. If I open and shut the menu it eventually disappears but the timing of this is random also.

you will see that the first image certainly does not have any black broken edges.If I step away from the page and return to it, the artefacts does not always disappear.I've got an ATI X1300 card that I've had to switch modesetting off for, otherwise starting wine apps or totem will cause the screen to flash black briefly.
Iv just installed 10.10 desktop 64bit to a laptop with drobo attached that i'll be using as a fileserver for the household.Im using VNC for remote administration since it comes baked into Ubuntu already.When connecting to the machine from Windows clients using Real/Tight/Ultra VNC, all clients experience a large amount of screen artefacts after any sort of gui interaction takes place.Iv already disabled compiz effects since VNC still doesn't work with them enabled.Iv included an image of what im seeing from the RealVNC Viewer, though both UltraVNC and TightVNC display the same issue.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI sometimes experience rather significant visual artifacts in Maverick. Some programs are more affected than others, but the problem is systemwide. It's most obvious when trying to read a pdf-file, as you can see in the attachments.
Interestingly, video never seems to be affected; even when the artifacts are so bad I can barely see what I'm doing, watching a movie in VLC works without problem (although the VLC GUI itself is affected).
The problem doesn't appear every session, but it is common. Approximately every third session is affected, and once the artifacts appear they remain until I restart the computer.
I'm trying to get my nvidia card working on my Lucid machine using the proprietary driver (yes I know; have to have 3d for my Nexsuiz to work at a reasonable framerate). It works fine with the nv driver, but as soon as I use the nvidia driver I get a messed-up screen (see attachment). The /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the nvidia driver contains:
Code:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
EndSection
[Code]...
So does anyone have suggestions to allow me to use the nvidia driver? Perhaps I need a custom modeline?
I'm using squeeze as desktop on C2Duo 3Gb ram, nvidia 9400 512 Mb. I've installed proprietary driver and configured xorg long ago, but now very often I see artefacts on desktop after i close a programm, i.e. as if some of the parts of window or text still remain on the desktop after i close the window. I use gnome as my de, dunno what's happened.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently tried out the awm version of the desktop environment. When I switched back to the Gnome desktop, I found a couple of titlebar-like artifacts left on the desktop.I did some experimenting, using System Monitor and the Kill xxxx command and managed to rid myself of one of the artifacts. The remaining artifact can be taken care of by using kill xxxx comand for the gtk-window-decorator but, this basically renders window buttons useless after the command is issued.
I think I had a couple applications running at startup in Gnome desktop before I switched to awm, and they didn't start at startup when I returned to Gnome desktop, but the titlebar-like artifacts did.Is there a way to reset the state of the gtk-window-decorator in a manner that is less destructive, and which allows my desktop to be clear of this artifact?

It is difficult to describe how the issue looks like. Therefore, I have made a screenshot.
I recently upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4 using the "zypper dup"-method, because I have made good experiences with that approach with my last upgrade. However I have some strange visual artifacts throughout the system now. When a button is in its pushed state, then at the left and top edge, where normally a drop-shadow would be drawn, is a white bar, as shown in the picture below.This also applies to progress-bars (for example when starting eclipse but also for all other applications)Also the systems feels slower than usual when switching between applications. Can't tell if this is important, but I have a Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M graphics card with the latest driver (version 260.19.44).

I got to the main menu and selected to run it directly from CD, and the Ubuntu symbol showed up saying it was loading things, but then the screen went black and nothing happened even if I waited over 15 minutes. During this time the HDD light was flashing every second or two, and I could see about three white pixels at the top most row of the screen.
