I just tested whether downgrading the flash plugin or nspluginwrapper to the versions in jaunty affected this bug.
For me, I see: karmic nspluginwrapper, karmic flashplayer.so: buggy karmic nspluginwrapper, jaunty flashplayer.so: buggy jaunty nspluginwrapper, karmic flashplayer.so: buggy jaunty nspluginwrapper, jaunty flashplayer.so: buggy This suggests that either: 1) The trigger was a change in some other package (firefox seems like the most likely bet, but I'm not prepared to try downgrading firefox on my live desktop without some more thought) 2) I messed up my testing somehow, and even when I thought I had reinstalled things, I had not. Since the plugin is running out-of-process, though, I'm not sure how that would be possible. If anyone wants to confirm these tests, with a reboot in between each to make sure that all state is cleared, feel free. Basically what you have to do is: a) Add jaunty lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list (but leave your karmic lines there!): deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main universe restricted multiverse deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty main universe restricted multiverse b) apt-get update c) Downgrade with 'apt-get install flashplugin-installer=jaunty', 'apt-get install nspluginwrapper=jaunty'. Well, except that didn't want to work for me, so I used 'apt-get install flashplugin-installer=10.0.22.87ubuntu2', 'apt-get install nspluginwrapper=1.2.2-0ubuntu5' which happen to be the versions in jaunty. d) Don't forget to remove the jaunty lines from /etc/apt/sources.list (though they are unlikely to hurt anything) e) 'apt-get install nspluginwrapper flashplayer-nonfree' should re-upgrade you to the latest version from karmic. My tests are on Karmic, firefox 3.5.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu3, on amd64, with metacity window manager, intel video. -- flash does not recognise mouse clicks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
