Quick question for my fellow linux users
Does anybody else run into the problem of having to refresh a page with a flash video say…ten or fifteen times before the video portion of the flash will load? I’ve even tried updating to the Flash 11 beta (64bit btw) and it hasn’t helped. I’m running Ubuntu 11.04, but I’ve had this problem since the 9.whatever versions or so.
Suggestions?
UPDATE: Adding medibuntu repositories and installing a couple codecs from there seemed to clear up the problem in firefox and opera, but not in chrome. Eventually I found a google support thread about this problem (after finally hitting on the right search phrase, which I’be been trying to do for weeks) and a user waaaay down the page suggested refreshing with ctrl+f5 instead of f5 by itself. In the 20 or so times I’ve tried it tonight that works on the first or second try each time, so I’d say that’s a workable solution at the moment. I’d definitely also say there’s a pretty persistent caching issue in chrome. Bleh. :P
Much thanks to mordes for helping me troubleshoot. ^^
