[arch-general] flash full screen under FF5 and arch64
Dear arch users, I'm using arch linux x86_64 (kernel 2.6.38), Firefox 5.0 and the Adobe Flash Plugin 10.3.162.29 64bit support (according to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/). My problem is that I can view flash videos in Firefox in normal mode, but in full screen mode the videos slow down (and the CPU usage rises much). A half year ago everything worked fine, but after some updates it won't work anymore. I also tried a kernel/firefox downgrade without success. I suspect that it has to do with the hardware acceleration settings in the flash menu (right click on flash video). Here hardware acceleration is enabled and I can't disable it, since the mouse and keyboard simple don't work on the flash settings menu. Is there another way to disable hardware acceleration? Or any other hints? Thanks, Benjamin

Problem solved, sorry for the noise. In case one is interested in the solution: The flash setting menu only works in full screen mode! Then it is possible to untick the box hardware acceleration. After that everything works.

Check the cables, and the kernel driver. Sounds like you might have the same problem as me and a few others... https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33782
Re: [arch-general] Something Broken with Perl!

IMHO you should install perl-cpanpplus-dist-arch (run setupdistarch as your user afterwards) and use cpanp to generate and install pacman perl packages. It's way easier to use than AUR. Been there, done that. I did the setup and the appropriate directory was built successfully in my home directory - .cpanplus is the root of cpanplus app[arently. This is what I did: pacman -Qm | grep ^perl- perlpkgs pacman -Rcs $(perlpkgs) Once the perlpkgs file was built, I had to go in and manually remove all the version numbers; otherwise, pacman threw errors; it could not recognize them as additional packages. use cpanp to reinstall everything in perlpkgs that you still need Do you need to be root to do this installation? I ask this because after building the .cpanplus resources under my home directory, I figured I would have to do 'cpanp -i Net::Twitter' from my normal user account. But nothing got installed and the packages all complained about missing dependencies. I read the documentation (what little there was) and I can't figure out what else I need to do to get this working. It appears a bunch of packages got download and expanded into ./cpanplus/lib/5.14.1 but they all failed because none of the other dependencies were installed yet. What do I need to do here?
