Full screen crashes with Java & or Flash in YouTube & Hulu. Is there a fix?

[SOLVED] Full screen crashes with Java & or Flash in YouTube & Hulu.

Full screen crashes with Java & or Flash in YouTube & Hulu.

Is there a fix for this? I searched & not found one.


Just posted this on PCLOS forum. Running latest PCLOS KDE fully updated.

 

Did you try different browsers?
Running the browser from terminal often gives usefull errors.
Could be the graphic drivers, try another one (open/closed source).

 

Crashes in both Opera & FF when selecting full screen.

Would you explain how to run browers in terminal?

I have an ATI mobility radeon 2600HD. The drivers I believe I have (ati-driver-installer-10-7-x86.x86_64.run) was downloaded from ATI. I installed those from terminal from instructions found on Ubuntu forums.

Installed in Synaptic by search term ATI are:

dkms-fglrx (ATI proprietary kernel module

x11-driver-video-fglrx package. This package corresponds to ATI Catalyst version 10.9.)

utility for the ATI proprietary X.org driver. This package corresponds to ATI Catalyst version 10.9.)

x11-driver-video-fglrx (ATI proprietary X.org driver and libraries

suppport dynamic rotation with XRandR, and Xv overlay support.)

(Radeon X1xxx and HD 2xxx cards).)



I don't know if I have too many drivers installed, the wrong one(s) or what.

 

Maybe it is wholly an flash issue.

In the flash display when there is a crash sometimes you will see a link appear, "report the crash".
Have you clicked the link to report the crash?

 

Yeah, it could be flash... or the ATI drivers... or both. Why all the drivers?

 

I don't know why all the drivers. Which one should I uninstall?

 

First did you just update the system?
Second run the following to see which driver is loaded:

Code:

# cat /proc/modules

 

PCLOS is fully updated. I used # cat /proc/modules in terminal (both user & root) & received no result.

 

zapjb, Try this command.

Code:

# lsmod

 

I used # lsmod in terminal (both user & root) & received no result.

 

Do not add the hash "#" to the command.

 

Ok. Both commands without the hash produce around 80 lines of results. Should I post both long logs or is there a line or two that we're looking for?

 

First, you never told me if you just updated or added something to your system and this happened?
or
Did this happen all of a sudden?

 

Nope this has been happening for ~3 weeks.

 

check your inbox.

 

Thanks to cgeek this worked.

"ok. go to youtube and watch a video. right click on the video and select settings turn off Hardware acceleration. Then go to fullscreen and let me know what happened."





Funny I'd tried this before & it didn't work. Whew glad thats over.
