I've got the Kubuntu Intrepid beta installed on my Dell Inspiron 630m. Things are working fairly well, but Flash is behaving strangely with Konqueror.
Some embedded Flash works fine --or at least as well as it ever does in Konq-- such as Brightcove videos. However, YouTube videos don't work, nor do flickr slideshows.
I know that the plugin is loading, because I can see a grey box the size of a YouTube video on the page while it is rendering. Once the page comes up, the blank space is still there, but it's now the color of the page background. If I right-click over the blank space, the Flash 10 context menu pops up. But nothing else.
Note that for YouTube, it doesn't matter if I'm looking on a remote site, or if I go to youtube.com. I get the same behavior.
This is a stock Kubuntu installation, with no custom packages or anything out of the ordinary installed. I think I last ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade 30 minutes ago.
Any ideas?
SEMI-WORKING KLUDGE: I went to the Adobe Flash Archive site (no tech support, billed as for developers only) and downloaded the Flash10 and Flash9 packages. It looks like Flash10 from there is the same as what is currently available for *buntu(?), so I installed Flash9 by hand:
The performance is a bit of a drag, just like Flash9 always was, but at least embedded videos and other webby bling-blings are working now. :P
