Some help with Flash in (X) and(K) ubuntu

[Longboard]

Some advise please
I instaled Ubuntu 904 in A VM Loving it, All good, soon for the HD. :thumb:

Then for fun did the same and exactly the same set-up with Xubuntu and Kubuntu to check out the new desktops: same install routine, same repos as required and same installs.
Flash player in X & K is very poor: choppy, double speed and choppy or no sound.
Ubuntu itself is fine.
:wacko:
What have I done and how to fix ??
Ta.

Are you using the latest video drivers?

Installed in VMWare Workstation 6.5.2 up to date, fresh clean installs and updated.
Is there something else needed?
ARe X & K missing something that Ubuntu has?

I meant the video drivers for Xubuntu or Kubuntu. What kind of video card do you have?

[Longboard]

Um: the VM video card is softare emulation and doesn't communicate with the HW card as I understand it: I could be missing something. :-\
FWIW: had exactly a similar issue with Fedora 10 recently: never could fix it.

PCLOS, Wolvix, Slack, Ubuntu, Mint, Mandriva, Mepis, Dream, Puppy, CentOS, Sabayon, Pardus, PCBSD: flash set-ups: All good.
Haven't had SuSse for a while, but I'll check.
I'll have a stroll through the VM forums

Has become a bit of an 'exercise' now: "Why is it so?"

You don't use video drivers in a virtual session. Those are installed in the host OS. In fact, attempting to install the restricted drivers will break the install every time.

Have you tried using Virtual Box instead of VM? I know that with Vbox you can choose how much ram to assign to the video and whether or not to enable 3D accel.

Sorry. Can't help with VM 'cause I don't use it.

Some people have trouble with the flashplugin-nonfree.

If that's the one your are using, maybe try download and install from adobe version.

I don't think anybody uses gnash. If you are try flashplugin-nonfree.

Which browser? What version?
