@ Rashad: My Kubuntu 8.04 LTS is the 32 bit version. I just discovered something quite interesting about youtube videos. When I view them through http://video.google.com , flash plays perfectly - there is both picture and sound. The same videos on youtube.com however, come up as grey boxes with sound but no picture.
Maybe something to do with the way youtube (and dailymotion, etc.) embed flash videos on their sites? Also I happened to stumble upon this from KDE docs:- http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase-runtime/faq/webbrowser.html#id2558174 ? [QUOTE] 9.13. Why does Konqueror display a plain grey square when I try to view flash animations, even though the flash plugin is installed? Under the latest versions of X.org, having the composite extension loaded can cause problems with the flash plugin. Try disabling the composite extension and see if normal flash operation is restored. [/QUOTE] Does it have anything to do with the erratic grey boxes phenomenon that so many of us are facing? The following are screenshots depicting the grey box phenomenon on my comp:- Youtube via Google Videos http://picasaweb.google.com/firasmr786/UntitledAlbum02/photo#5195640883281646130 Youtube via youtube.com http://picasaweb.google.com/firasmr786/UntitledAlbum02/photo#5195640891871580738 On extremely rare occasions, youtube videos on youtube.com do manage do show up as expected. This video http://youtube.com/watch?v=EyDB4b_vRE8&feature=related for example *always* works perfectly as depicted in the screenshot below: http://picasaweb.google.com/firasmr786/UntitledAlbum02/photo#5195644645672997458 -- [hardy]xembed and flash support patches doesn't work for konqueror https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184149 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
