I have the same problem, after watching flash for a while it becomes gray boxes and u have to completely kill firefox and restart it to get it working again, using 64bit 8.04.. i wonder if someone issued a bug for this

I usually open 2 to 3 youtube pages at a time...

or this version of flash just hates 64 bit?

	How many pages do you generally have open when working with flash b/c I was listening to BOL the other day and they were saying the new version of flash only allows so many flash players open at once.  I believe the limit is like 14 or something but keep in mind that counts for all of flash including any flash adds that might be open as well.

		Hi gang,

		Lets face it, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS is not as great as its last LTS on the desktop, which was 6.06. It is not even as great as 7.10!

		I am running Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit on my desktop PC since its release date, and I am still experiencing a few issues after latest updates.

		1. Flash player inside firefox does not work properly when more than one flash player page is opened. the later opened one may not display the flash content.
		2. Flash play will play first 4 sec without sound then stop if there is another application needs to use sound (mp3 player). It may not only happens with flash, i think some other application is also having this problem.

		3. wine is not reading the fonts in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts <-- i know it might be more like wine's problem
		4. not able to play back rmvb files by using mplayer. the codec seems installed, but it is not doing the job

		I can go on and on...

		My point is, I was not experiencing any of these issue when i was use 7.10. I know some of them may need some tweaks, but i was able to make it work. 

		when i first install 8.04, i was surprised it ships with FF3 beta. I know FF3 will be released soon at that time, but it is not a good idea to put it in a LTS even though you are going to update it later.

		the new kernel, 2.6.24, is having a lot of compatible issue. For example, VMware does not like that new kernel, some modules can not be compiled.

		It might only be 64 bit's problem only, since i need it to see all my ram without enable pae or hugemem. Or that is just my stupid configuration or limited knowledge.

		I think, Ubuntu team should really re-consider using the newest software package in the LTS release. The newest is not always the "best" in linux. 

		I will re-install 8.04 64bit tonight to see if i can fix those issues i listed. If not, i think i will go back to 7.10.

		Thanks

		Q
