Tom,
I am surprised by my tests on newly built Ubuntu (23 bit and 64 bit)
clients, and a Debian client computer.
On both Ubuntu version 12, 32 bit and 64 bit computers using Firefox
would freeze the OpenMeetings window when I loaded your OpenMeetings
and right clicked and selected “Settings…” in adobe flash player. I
had installed the Ubuntu install for Adobe Flash Player. I have not
installed the adobe flash player by other methods. Firefox itself was
not frozen, I could refresh the OpenMeetings page, and it would load
again, it would only freeze when I caused the Adobe settings dialog
box to be displayed, either by right click, or by setting AV hardware
when entering a conference room.
Using Ice Weasel with the Debian Flash Player package did not freeze,
in fact it worked perfectly OK. However the Epiphany web browser would
not load OpenMeetings, it would just go to blank screen.
There seems to be an issue with OpenMeetings in Ubuntu 12 using the
Ubuntu packaged Flash Player. Youtube clips played just fine in
Firefox on Ubuntu 12, but OpenMeetings did not.
Anyone have any other experiences ?
Thanks,
George Kirkham

I can use it with my laptop with ubuntu 12.10 and my other 12.04
workstation also seems to work now. Just the localhost workstation
seems to hang

Tom,
Are you able build a clean Ubuntu 12 computer and give this a try ?
I am in the process of doing so, to test out your OpenMeetings site.
When it is finished I will let you know how it went.
I expect it will be the same as Maxim’s Ubuntu, it will work just fine.
Thanks,
George Kirkham

my 12.10 system works as expected.
The only solution I know is: change browser and/or flash version

Thanks for the test and the prompt to fix the email notifications.
Took care of that already. So it seems that this is the same flash
issue as before.
The good news is that openmeetings uses flash and is therefore.
cross platform and cross browser compatable.
The bad news is openmeetings uses flash and is cross system and cross
browser compatable

Tom,
All worked well for your OpenMeetings server when I used a Windows 7 client.
I was able to record and play back my test video.
Thanks,

Hello Tom,
This is well known browser/flash issue.
Can you try couple of browsers? (Chrome/Chromium/FF) doe your issue
reproducible on all of them?
I'm unable to test on Ubuntu since I have upgraded my client to 12.10
:(

Hi george
Thanks for the reply
If you have a minute you could try it from your client. This is the
one that we built a few months ago from source. and the 10.04 was just
updated to 12.04
here is the link I think you still have an account there.
http://openmeeting.learnubuntu.org:5080/openmeetings/
The computer that is running the red5 server, the localhost is a 32
bit Ubuntu 12.04 upgraded from the 10.04
Sorry I dont have access to a windows 7 now except as a virtual host
on Vbox and that might not be a valid test.
Flash I believe is 11.x on everything (11.1 i think)

Windows 7 ? (with the latest Flash Player installed).
I guess you are still using Ubuntu client computer, as I am sure many
others are also using?
Is the computer that has the issue a 64 bit computer or a 32 bit computer?
Can you tell us more about the computers which do and which don't
have the issue?
I do believe the issue you are experiencing is related to the client
computer, not the server.
Good to see you back again. There has been some great work happening
to OpenMeetings since we last communicated, and of course much more
to happen.
Thanks,
George Kirkham

Hi Everyone
Im back, last time george was very helpful.
I upgraded my 10.04 Ubuntu to 12.04 and it seems some portions of
openmeetings has broken.
On the 12.04 machine, localhost, when starting a new meeting and
setting up the camera and microphones, when it comes to the Adobe
Flash Player Settings dialog If dyou try to click on Allow the
button movement is not displayed and nothing happens it appears as if
it has hung, locked up and the browser seems to become unrespopnsive.
This reminds me of san issue we had before and I thought what we had
done was that I had built the openmeetings package from source but
casnt remember ecxactly and now i am on 12.04 so wondering what my
best direction might be.
Using another client remotely i can connect, use the webcam, record
some selected screeen areas, upload a video and it gets converted
properly.
Does this sound like a browser side or server side issue? (or a
little of both) thanks in advance for any advice
