Compiz Disables Flash Clicking

[zjagannatha]

I've had this issue with Flash for a while where I can't click on anything. After I upgraded a friend's linux box and installed Compiz she started having the same issue and suggested I disable desktop effects.
After I disabled desktop effects sure enough, flash started working again.

I'm not exactly sure what's causing the problem. I'll try disabling specific options when I get time later and post anything I find. In the meantime anyone else have this issue?

I had the same problem and solved it by downloading the flash plugin (x64) and putting it into the firefox plugin directory (the following link is for the x64 bit version of the plugin):


$ wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
$ tar xf libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
$ sudo cp libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/

You can also edit the nspluginwrapper config file:


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

And add
export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
before the last line.

My file contains the following:


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