New help configuring flashplayer

[volkerbradley]

Just went to http://www.linuxjournal.com/video to view some their videos.
Unfortunately, nothing happens when click on the play button.
How can I determine what is causing this behavior?
I am using Firefox 3.6.6 and Flashplayer version 10.1 r53

Thanks for looking at this.

Please go to System > Prefs > Appearance > Visual Effects and select "None."

Does that make it work?

[volkerbradley]

Wow. That was quick. It works now.
Thank you very much.

High light the whole post and then click # sign and will scroll instead of being
so long.

Please go to System > Prefs > Appearance > Visual Effects and select "None."

Yes, but no visual effects? Maybe this will help:

gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer

Then add: "export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1" before the last line of text
(without the quotes)

Restart browser, turn visual effects back on and try it again.

I had to do this for any buttons to work on youtube.

I like my visual effects.

[zitch]

And make sure that is entered as the second-to-last line, this is what that file looks like for me now:

#!/bin/sh
TARGET_OS=linux
TARGET_ARCH=i386
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
. /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/noarch/npviewer

I kept miss reading "before the last line" and putting the export as the last line... Hopefully, this saves someone else some frustrations...

[Cavsfan]

Is there an echo in here???

[volkerbradley]

Yes, that works very well. It's great to keep the visual effects and see shockwave-flash videos.
Thank you

[Cavsfan]

Yes, that works very well. It's great to keep the visual effects and see shockwave-flash videos.
Thank you

Glad it helped you! Who wants to give up special effects because of flash?
I have a nice Compiz cube going on and a lot of other things like fire, etc. which I like to show off.
And I can watch 1080p flash in full screen too!

I've read these instructions, but for the life of me cannot figure out what you are trying to teach me.
Can you give me an example and give me the instructions step-by-step?
