Elias Aarnio: I do not see how your advice is different from what I wrote I had just tried (which failed.)
Workaround: For those desperate enough for a workaround, I can suggest this: install Google Chrome. Unlike Chromium and other browsers, it has its Flash built-in. Its Flash popup works fine for me in 13.04, standard Unity, for video conferencing using a commercial service which failed under 13.04 Chromium and 12.01 Chromium, even under gnome-shell. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/865672 Title: "Adobe Flash Player Settings" dialog does not respond to mouse clicks Status in Chromium Browser: New Status in Compiz: New Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: New Status in Midori: Webkit Web browser: Invalid Status in Unity Distro Priority: Fix Released Status in “adobe-flashplugin” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “midori” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1) Open a flash file. Be it a game, video, website, etc. 2) Right click on the flash player and select "Settings" 3) Try to click on something in the dialog box such as a checkbox or a tab What is expected to happen: The dialog box responds to user input, e.g. checking a checkbox or switching to a different tab. What happens instead: The dialog box does not respond. Nothing happens when the user interacts with it. The user must refresh the page to exit the dialog box. Workaround #1: 1) Go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager06.html#117645 2) Configure your Flash Player settings using the Settings Panel Workaround #2: 1) Open Flash in fullscreen mode 2) Open Settings and configure your preferences ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: Adobe flash player is configured on my system to ask before a website sets a flash cookie, so if a video (eg on youtube) is played, a dialogue box will pop up asking me whether or not to allow the website to store a cookie on my machine. However, nothing happens when I click on either 'allow' or 'deny', so the box stays put and I can't view or control the video playing beneath it. On this machine I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10; in 11.04 there was a program for adjusting the flash player settings in the System Settings control panel, but that program is no longer there and not accessible via the dash, so there is no obvious way to just configure flash to allow all cookies and avoid the dialogue box. Workaround: using Unity 2D instead Notice : the problem has been already corrected two years before : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/410407?comments=all I'll add that it's perhaps because of Compiz : It works with Unity 2d, KDE, Gnome-Shell, Gnome-Session-With-No-Effect BUT it affects Ubuntu 3D, Gnome-Session Fallback and Cairo-Dock session ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: firefox 7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-12.19-generic 3.0.4 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-12-generic i686 AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
