ads. The main lesson I think I get from this is, install and test your

Yes, ABP seems to be fine, but I had also installed something called
Flash Block, which was supposed to make all embedded flash objects
clickable, and was OK by itself but conflicted with the SWFdec add-on.
It just shows, never add anything unless you have a good reason.

I have an awful lot of short music videos (non-interactive), I mean
scores and scores of them, which I downloaded from YouTube in flash
format and converted to .mp4 format. I felt that this would be a more
versatile format for video jukebox type use on unknown machines in the

I noticed that the site was up, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseParties
Does anybody know if Canonical will again be organising a release
party in London? Will we have a local server there? I'm keen to bring
