    Shade of Blue in Youtube Videos

    I updated Lubuntu this morning, and part of the updates was for my nVidia GeForce driver. Now when I watch Youtube videos there's a shade of blue over them. Is there a setting that I can change to change the colors back to normal? or is it a problem with the video card drivers?

    My specs are:

    Motherboard: Asus M2N68-AM SE2
    Video Card: nVidia GeForce 9600 GT
    CPU: AMD Athlon X2 2.93 GHz
    Primary Hard Drive: Western Digital 40GB IDE Hard Drive
    Secondary HD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500 GB SATA2 Hard Drive
    Optical: LG Standard DVD Drive

    I have also been having the same problem, but for several weeks now. It started after an update, but I don't remember which one. It only happens on YouTube, and I'm also using the nVidia proprietary drivers for my GeForce GTS 250.

    Found a bug report here:

    right click on the video and choose settings then remove the tick from the enable hardware acceleration so its disabled

    Yeah, I saw that thread further down.

    Disabling hardware acceleration didn't have any affect, but downgrading Flash using these instructions solved it:
