    Flash Problem Jaunty 9.04

    I upgraded to 9.04. Flash in only working on some sites. Youtube works fine. Adobe's page that is supposed to play a flash video to tell you what version you're using as a test does not work. My business's website (which uses some flash) does not show up. I have tried uninstalling flash and reinstalling it via synaptic. I downloaded the deb from adobe and installed it that way, then uninstalled and then reinstalled again. I have tried everything!! What do I do???

    You probably installed gnash or swfdec, which doesn't have 100% compatibility with Adobe Flash content.

    Code:
    $ sudo apt-get remove --purge swfdec-mozilla mozilla-plugin-gnash flashplugin-nonfree adobe-flashplugin
    $ sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
    Note: you'll need to have the Canonical "partner" repository to get access to the adobe-flashplugin package.

    I had the same issues. what I did was change my hardware drivers from 180 to 173 nvidia drivers. Now my videos play fine. It may stutter just a bit at start but when it gets going, its fine.

    I did a recheck again, its fine. when the controls for video manipulation comes up, it slows down, when they hide, its smooth.

    Its a driver or flash issue.

    hmm...In you tube with the 173 drivers, i went fullscreen and came back and went fullscreen again to get the video smooth. It has something to do with the way it captures fullscreen. Probably sync issue with refresh rate or even pulseaudio but once it gets going, its fine.

    The OP probably has a different issue to yours. The open-source Flash implementations work on Youtube, but don't work on many other types of Flash content, such as mentioned by the poster. Having more than one Flash plugin installed tends to cause a conflict (so, installing the Adobe Flash plugin is not enough - you must also uninstall the open-source swfdec or gnash plugins).

    Ya I never installed those plugins you mentioned. If he has them installed, he should remove them.

    Jaunty fixed vsync issues but created new ones such as flash video playback.

    In hulu, i need to click on high def and wait till the video is playing and then I click on full screen and once the controls hide, its fine. There is a problem and patch needed. I can deal with this like this for now.

    Thanks this actually fixed my problem. I was having troubles with the scroll bar in some flash videos. I strongly recommend this for people who upgraded from Hardy to Jaunty via Updater and start having some issues (pink squares on the video) with Flash.

    I have a similar issue.

    When playing flash video (tested on youtube and hulu), it works ok when embedded but not in fullscreen.

    In fullscreen, the video will freeze, shutter and flicker. The audio works ok. I tried letting the video play a little first, no change.

    I have tried with visual effect on and off, no change.

    This is an annoying little issue.

    Re: Flash Problem Jaunty 9.04

    I'm having the same problems with Flash on 9.04. .... upgraded to the latest version of NVidia, tried all the little tricks in the various threads here, Flash still plays only a few seconds and locks in Firefire ... full screen apps like Hulu won't work.

    Does anyone PLEASE have a definite fix?

    I have the same problem too. Flash will work on a few sites for the first session that I run firefox, but it seems like either an extended session of a firefox restart sets off the program. Youtube's about the only site that consistently works. I have tried all the advice in here, including switching my nvidia drivers from 180 to 173, but no luck.
