So the problem does or does not reside in ia32-libs? Is it a problem with GTK+ or ia32-libs?

Awesome, thanks for the clarification. 2010/3/2 Saïvann Carignan oxmo...@gmail.com The reason upgrading ia32-libs exposed the problem is because the it contains the newer GTK+. That means GTK+ is the problem (or flash interaction with GTK+). -- Clicking on items in Flash player does nothing [READ DESCRIPTION] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410407 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Clicking on items in Flash player does nothing [READ DESCRIPTION] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Wow! That's what I call an explanation. I suppose I'll sit and wait on Adobe like everyone else. On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 3:44 PM, pablomme pablo...@googlemail.com wrote: Is it a problem with GTK+ or ia32-libs? The big picture here is that GTK+ changed the way it does certain things, intentionally and as an improvement. What should happen then is that every piece of software that relies on GTK+ would be updated to cope with/take advantage of the new stuff. And so it has happened with all FOSS projects using GTK+. However, nobody but Adobe can change libflashplayer.so, and they haven't. That is THE problem, and THE solution lies with Adobe. Now, for workarounds. The GTK+ change came with the ability to revert to the old behaviour via environment variables. A possible workaround would be to modify web browsers (and everything else that uses libflashplayer.so) to set up their environment so that the GTK+ calls made from within the Flash player stick to legacy behaviour. Chromium (if the reports above are correct) has done this, others haven't. Remember that this situation is supposed to be temporary - one would expect Adobe to *eventually* fix libflashplayer.so - so it might not be worth for browsers to go through this. Another workaround is applicable to 64-bit systems, where a 32-bit libflashplayer.so is used (this is sub-optimal, and again nothing can be done because of Flash being proprietary). The interface between the 64-bit browser and the 32-bit plugin is nspluginwrapper. The 32-bit plugin then uses 32-bit libraries (including GTK+), which are gathered in this thing called ia32-libs. By modifying the nspluginwrapper scripts, one can directly modify the environment under which libflashplayer.so is run, without need to modify the browser itself. To answer your question, there is no problem with GTK+, there is a problem with Flash not being updated to cope with updates to GTK+. And ia32-libs simply mirrors the current versions of common libraries, it's not to be blamed either. -- Clicking on items in Flash player does nothing [READ DESCRIPTION] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410407 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Clicking on items in Flash player does nothing [READ DESCRIPTION] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Create work, thanks for taking the time to pin point the issue so this annoying bug can finally be squashed. 2010/2/22 Saïvann Carignan oxmo...@gmail.com Tarvis Watkins : I have a very important information in regards of this bug report, this seems to be a issue in ia32-libs. Here's how I come to this conclusion : 1. Install jaunty 64bit in virtualbox with 3D enabled (compiz) and install flashplugin-installer. (At this point, flash works correctly). 2. Change all occurence of jaunty to karmic in /etc/apt/sources.list and reload (apt-get update). 3. Install the last version of ia32-libs (will install karmic version over jaunty version that is already installed). 4. Open Firefox and try again on youtube.com (The bug appears for the first time). I've managed to identify this package by upgrading jaunty step by step until I could reproduce the bug, and once that I identified ia32-libs as the potential source of the bug, I repeated the operations from a clean jaunty 64bit install and I only upgraded ia32-libs, and the bug appeared again right after the upgrade of ia32-libs to karmic version, without upgrading any other packages in jaunty. -- Clicking on items in Flash player does nothing [READ DESCRIPTION] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410407 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- Clicking on items in Flash player does nothing [READ DESCRIPTION] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

You only had issues with the 32bit edition? On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 12:00 AM, omarly666 omarly...@hotmail.com wrote: Same probl here . Nice workaround at #211. My own workaround: When the mouse don't connect with the flash, I use the tab key to get to the right place - marked yellow - then I use the enter-Key to do the selection. the old off/on trick with the browser also do the trick if the whole flash thing disappears.
