Sorry about that Simon, I just mentioned it in passing in the hope that someone already has a silver bullet. Just knowing that flash is flakey as mentioned by you and Philip is enough for now. It would take several hours work to look into the problem, especially as it changes with updates to Debian, so I'll live with it for a while and see what happens.On 25/03/11 08:53, George Parker wrote:I'd go along with this if it was just flash. I have problems with Skype also (see another recent thread) and just playing videos. It all seems to be linked to AMD 64 2 core Athlons. I also have an old Thinkpad laptop with an intel 32 bit processor which runs both flash, Skype and anything else I throw at it with no problem. This is currently running PCLinuxOS very happily.Can I suggest you start a thread which described all the problems you are having, the hardware you have, the software you have installed, including versions of applicable software. Also check if you are using the latest versions of everything (Flash have a 64bit Linux client these days, which is probably the software to use even if it is a "preview" release). Please get technical, problems "just playing videos" is not a useful problem descriptions, which type(s) of videos (a lot are flash these days), is it reproducible, can you link to a video that always produces a problem. Is that problem something crashing, going slow, no sound, picture looks wrong? Similarly "problems with skype" is not useful for diagnosing what the issue is, similar comments apply. Probably someone can help, or at least describe a similar hardware set-up that doesn't have these issues. Although I fear being a 64bit user outside of Windows does mean Flash support is rocky, could be worse you could have bought an iPhone :) Simon
Meanwhile the sun is shining (or it was), the birds are singing, there are bathrooms to renovate and a house the size of a - er - house to paint and seeds to plant and pubs to visit and ..... goodness me, it's winter. I must look into that flash problem.
