[16:47] <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?
[16:49] <micahg> brianb: huh? wfm
[16:50] <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?
[16:51] <micahg> does it work in non protected mode?
[16:51] <brianb> well how do you switch off protected mode in each browser?
[16:52] <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
[16:53] <brianb> with firefox runing?
[16:53] <micahg> no
[16:53] <brianb> explain please
[16:55] <micahg> is this flash protected mode or the browser's protected mode?
[16:56] <brianb> well thats an interesting question it could be either
[16:57] <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
[16:58] <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?
[16:59] <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
[17:00] <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
[17:01] <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
[17:02] <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
[17:04] <brianb> what i actual get is a blank space where the content should appear and a message - could not load shockwave flash
[17:05] <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
[17:06] <brianb> the flash is enabled i have checked that
[17:07] <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?
[17:08] <micahg> in the support article it mentions a system and built in version, maybe try with the system version
[17:10] <brianb> i have tryed both chrome and chromium both yeild the same problem
[17:10] <brianb> also same with firefox
[17:11] <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
[17:12] <micahg> 12.04 works fine with the version in the archive
[17:13] <brianb> firefox shockwave flash 11.2 r202
[17:13] <brianb> updated 27/11/12
[17:14] <brianb> same ver used with chrome
[17:14] <micahg> weird
[17:16] <brianb> would there be any hardware that could cause this issue?
[17:17] <brianb> after all its just a extention/plugin for a browase
