@Br. Tikhon Pethoud (brtikhon) It depends what version of Ubuntu you are using. Earlier versions allowed you to change the desktop interface on the login screen by selecting the option at the bottom of the login screen e.g. GNOME. In newer versions of Ubuntu, you have a little round thing available when you click on your username; it may appear is a "cog" or the round Ubuntu logo. Clicking on it will allow you to change to the 2D option.
A permanent workaround: when you're logged in, you could go into the "Software Centre" (or "Center") search for and install gnome-panel (make sure you type it as gnome-panel). When installed, logout and change the option to "Gnome Classic no Effects"), again by clicking on the round icon by your username on the login screen. This problem with Flash Player settings not working is definitely caused by Unity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/865672 Title: "Adobe Flash Player Settings" dialogue does not respond to mouse clicks Status in Chromium Browser: New Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: New Status in Midori: Webkit Web browser: Confirmed Status in Unity Distro Priority: Fix Released Status in “adobe-flashplugin” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “midori” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: WORKAROUNDS: 1. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html#117645 2. Click on the flash window. Now use the keyboard to tab through the settings dialog. Space to select. ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Adobe flash player is configured on my system to ask before a website sets a flash cookie, so if a video (eg on youtube) is played, a dialogue box will pop up asking me whether or not to allow the website to store a cookie on my machine. However, nothing happens when I click on either 'allow' or 'deny', so the box stays put and I can't view or control the video playing beneath it. On this machine I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10; in 11.04 there was a program for adjusting the flash player settings in the System Settings control panel, but that program is no longer there and not accessible via the dash, so there is no obvious way to just configure flash to allow all cookies and avoid the dialogue box. Workaround: using Unity 2D instead ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: firefox 7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.19-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
