George, Yes the my Ubuntu machine that I was using last night kept failing regarding this Adobe Flash Player bug as I could not click on the Adobe Flash Player Settings Menu to ALLOW the server to use my WebCam & Mic.
On a 32 bit machine I didn't have a problem. But the bugs I listed below are just a few of those filed on this issue by Mac & various Linux distro users concerning inability to "click" on Adobe Flash Player Setttings Menu options. Seem ... that beside overall market movement toward HTML5 as a replacement for Flash ... this is another good reason that I hope the future holds the same for OpenMeetings to substitute HTML5 for Flash use. Let me know your 32 bit server and I'll try that too ... but I think this problem may be client side ? I could be wrong though<g> Brian On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 8:45 AM, George Kirkham <gkirk...@co2crc.com.au>wrote: > Brian,**** > > ** ** > > Are you saying that this an Adobe Flash problem affecting the Flash Player > in 64 client computers?**** > > ** ** > > I had one user who has a MAC computer and they had the same issue, but > after uninstalling and reinstalling Flash, all worked well.
