Flash Player Glitches

Removing Conflicting Plugins

Ubuntu comes with swfdec plug-in, but it doesn't work on several sites. Installing the version from Adobe might solve this problem and improve performance.

To remove other flash plug-ins and install only the one from Adobe open "Applications >> Accessories >> Terminal", then paste (CTRL+SHIFT+V) the code below in the terminal window and hit enter:

sudo apt-get remove swfdec-mozilla
sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-gnash
sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin
sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree
sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

Flash Tweaks

If you're still encountering problems, try:

sudo mkdir /etc/adobe
echo "OverrideGPUValidation=true" >~/mms.cfg
sudo mv ~/mms.cfg /etc/adobe/

msttcorefonts (Kubuntu 9.04)

sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts

Getting Encoders To Work In KAudioCreator

To prevent the "Selected encoder was not found" message in KAudioCreator on ripping, do the following.

1. For Ogg Vorbin encoding, simply install the "vorbis-tools" package through synaptic or apt-get, which installs the "oggenc" encoder needed to rip to ogg vorbis.

2. For MP3 encoding, install the "lame" package through synaptic.

3. For FLAC encoding, install the "flac" package from synaptic.
