| brianb | does anyone know the reason why both Firefox and Google Chrome (inc Chromium) fail to load and display adobe flash content on web pages in ubuntu 12.04? | 16:47 |
|---|---|---|
| micahg | brianb: huh? wfm | 16:49 |
| brianb | Also is both Firefox and google Chrome running in protected mode via the sandbox mechanism - which could be the reason why both browsers fail to play out a flash website content? | 16:50 |
| micahg | does it work in non protected mode? | 16:51 |
| brianb | well how do you switch off protected mode in each browser? | 16:51 |
| micahg | well, you can try in a new firefox profile (firefox -P) | 16:52 |
| brianb | how do i do that | 16:52 |
| micahg | run it in a terminal or alt + f2 | 16:52 |
| brianb | with firefox runing? | 16:53 |
| micahg | no | 16:53 |
| brianb | explain please | 16:53 |
| micahg | is this flash protected mode or the browser's protected mode? | 16:55 |
| brianb | well thats an interesting question it could be either | 16:56 |
| micahg | there was a problem with firefox/flash protected mode, I don't know if it's fixed: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/929134 | 16:57 |
| brianb | ok so that sounds like the sandox mech | 16:58 |
| brianb | which i think is built into mozilla | 16:58 |
| micahg | we also don't ship flash 11.3, is this a problem with the flash from the Ubuntu archive? | 16:58 |
| brianb | however the problem i have is that both google chrome and mozilla will not play any flash content and i have doubled checked to make sure that both have a flash plug in installed | 16:59 |
| micahg | chrome ships its own flash | 17:00 |
| brianb | Chrome does but chromium i think does not | 17:00 |
| micahg | right | 17:00 |
| brianb | i stand to be corrected on that | 17:00 |
| brianb | now lets take Chrome which I have installed | 17:01 |
| brianb | it has as you rightly said flash built into the browser | 17:01 |
| micahg | for Chrome you'll have to ask them | 17:01 |
| brianb | so if i try and display content from the BBC news (live ) what should happen is i should get a both audio an video content | 17:02 |
| brianb | what i actual get is a blank space where the content should appear and a message - could not load shockwave flash | 17:04 |
| brianb | the message appears at the top of the chrome browser | 17:05 |
| micahg | http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=108086 | 17:05 |
| brianb | the flash is enabled i have checked that | 17:06 |
| brianb | it would appear to me that the trigger mech to load flash is not working hence the message | 17:07 |
| brianb | which begs the question is it a problem with the sandbox protected mode of flash? | 17:07 |
| micahg | in the support article it mentions a system and built in version, maybe try with the system version | 17:08 |
| brianb | i have tryed both chrome and chromium both yeild the same problem | 17:10 |
| brianb | also same with firefox | 17:10 |
| brianb | if it was a google chrome issue that that would effect the chrome browser | 17:11 |
| micahg | which version of flash shows up in Firefox? | 17:11 |
| brianb | but since it affects both browsers i am suspecting that it could be a scripting issue with ubuntu 12.04 | 17:11 |
| micahg | 12.04 works fine with the version in the archive | 17:12 |
| brianb | firefox shockwave flash 11.2 r202 | 17:13 |
| brianb | updated 27/11/12 | 17:13 |
| brianb | same ver used with chrome | 17:14 |
| micahg | weird | 17:14 |
| brianb | would there be any hardware that could cause this issue? | 17:16 |
| brianb | after all its just a extention/plugin for a browase | 17:17 |
