Version 11.1.102.55 has just been published but it doesn't solve the problem, obviously. The beta 11.2 doesn't either (it even can't play video in my case). But finally, I've been able to recover these versions (luckily I still kept many of them in my computer): flashplayer_square_p1_32bit_linux_

I'm also using a notebook equipped with the ION chipset and am affected by this absurd decision from Adobe. Until now I had been using a development version of Flash 10. But I decided to move to Flash 11, believing that it would include an improved and official hardware video acceleration. But, fte

Thinking back to the experience on iPlayer when the change was made, the situation was exacerbated by the Flash 10 package being updated to Flash 11 *in place*, as opposed to a new Flash 11 package being built and adobe-flashplugin just repointed to it. Doing it this way rather than Flash 11 named

Oh - also, the removal of Stage Video for NVIDIA was a deliberate decision by Adobe - which was done between Beta and Gold release... Not offering a backout without stepping into the murky world of tarballs and monitoring for patches does seem a little remiss IMHO. And scary for less technical

Probably not, but while unsupported, an option to fix at Flash 10.2 or 10.3 until Adobe reintroduce Stage Video (whatever they call it) would enable low power machines to actually *use* iPlayer, Youtube, Demand5, 4OD and other streaming video-on-Flash smoothly. this is the crux of the issue. A st

Using Flash 10 instead of Flash 11 will break the (probably now hundreds, if not thousands) of websites that only work with Flash 11, either because they use features only present in major version 11, or because they trigger bugs that were fixed in major version 11 (or in some incremental release a

Not confident. And would prefer to rely on official packages - especially when it came to eventually accepting 12.04.1 next year... Also, am thinking of other users as well. And when or if Adobe manage to get Stage Video/3D/whatever sorted - would prefer to just accept the update through Update

Since the bug is either in Adobe Flash or in the BBC's flash content, perhaps Adobe and the BBC could work together to ameliorate the problem... How does this break *any* machines? Can't you just remove the Flash player as packaged for Ubuntu, and install it from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/c
