Chrome displays gray box instead of flash

[pmatos]

Hi,

I am using Chrome in ubuntu lucid lynx 10.04, 64 bit:

Google Chrome	6.0.472.63 (Official Build 59945)
WebKit	534.3
V8	2.2.24.24
User Agent	Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/6.0.472.63 Safari/534.3
Command Line	 /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome

However, flash is not working as expected. I get sound but not image. Instead I have a gray box.
Everything seems ok. From aboutlugins:

Shockwave Flash
Shockwave Flash 10.1 r85
Name:	Shockwave Flash
Description:	Shockwave Flash 10.1 r85
Version:	
Priority:	1
Location:	/var/lib/flashplugin-installer/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
 	 Disable
MIME types:	
MIME type	Description	File extensions
application/x-shockwave-flash	Shockwave Flash	
.swf
application/futuresplash	FutureSplash Player	
.spl

Funny thing is that I have exactly the same config (or so I think) on a laptop and it works there. hehehe

Anyone with the same problem that managed to sort it out?

Cheers,

PMatos

Does it work in Firefox? Are you using anything fancy like the RGBA enabled Murrine themes?

Yes, it works on Firefox... and no, no fancy themes...

Do you have the 64 bit Flash plugin? See if one of these links helps...

Thanks for the references. Since nothing helped I just gave up and went back to Firefox.

Good, Firefox is the right way! Chrome is closed source. Too bad.
