First of all there is a better Linux distro, which is FRENCH!! Mandriva is KDE based though. It's definitely Flash though, sometimes the old version is kept, and you have to remove it manually. What does about:plugins say in Firefox?

which flash did you use? Gnash, swfdec or the original one?

If you don't have the original one installed i would install it(and remove the old ones), and if you installed it already i would check if the standard flash program is still installed(i believed that is gnash), because sometimes if you have install mire then one they make trouble.

PS: no endless discussion about the best distribution.

Thanks for you input,

I currently have the Shockwave Flash 10.2 r 159 player installed.

I have tried to reinstall it. But it still doesn't work.

I rather install package through Ubuntu Store or Synaptic. But do you think I should rathe download the player from Adobe website and install it manually.

no thats ok, the standard sources are ok - i just wonder since when they had something like an app store but thats another topic ;)

But i am quite sure it is still apt-get inside, and overall thats a pretty good package manager.

Maybe you could try chromium or opera, to figure out if the problem is the flash player or somewhere inside firefox(if the other browser work i would try to test it with an fresh ff profile)

I tryed to reinstall Firefox with no result yet.,
So installed Chromium and it works fine now. So I'll stick with chromium for now.

Well I'm not completly lost anyway as I run a dual boot with W7 and Ubuntu, and it works properly on Windows 7 with Firefox. So it is probably not my hardware.

Maybe it's a problem with Compiz or something in the Ubuntu environment (I use either KDE and Gnome). There are so many options to customize the GUI.

Thanks anyway

would be curious if it was the hardware ;) Also one body of me had problems with his flash on ff with ubuntu, but i don't know if he fixed it already and if he had make the update. But if he found the error, maybe i could send you the solution.

I tryed to reinstall Firefox with no result yet.


reinstallation shouldn't bring much, because that the software would be just buggy on the PC would be new for me: sometimes the firefox profil makes problem(should be teh same after the reinstall(if you don't have it outside the standard folder to synchronize your linux and win Firefox), you could create a new one with firefox -p (or a big "P" i always get confused with that) - and then maybe turn the plugins off(not the flash one in the test account) sometimes you find an error like that.

Now its works

I installed the Shockwave Flash 10.3 d162 plug-in for Firefox 4

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
