[Bug 436126] [NEW] Youtube doesn't work on ubuntu 64 bits, prerelease 64 bits version works

[lucky]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

First things first :
I know that flash isn't free software and Ubuntu's devs can't fix it.

Description :
On karmic koala 64 bits with 10.0.32.18ubuntu1, youtube plays well but the mouse events won't have any effect.
For instance pausing, resuming or full screen options do not work.
This can happen on several other websites, I don't know what  are differences between the flash apps that will cause this problem.

I don't know if other users can report the same issue, but if some do
please consider replacing the flashplugin-nonfree 32 bits version and
its dependencies with the prerelease 64 bits package available at

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

To make flash available for firefox, it is only required to extract the library in ~/.mozilla/plugins/.
This seems to fix the problem regarding youtube and dailymotion.


Best Regards,

Lucas
