Hey guys,

I'm running lubuntu on my laptop but have been having issues with fullscreen flash vids (ie, I open it in fullscreen and the image freezes, sound continues and if I know where to click I can pause the vid etc but the image stays on the screen meaning I can't REALLY do anything but reboot!)
so I thought I'd try HTML 5 as I use chrome/chromium
sadly every time I go to a vid it still shows it in Flash?
any idea why this is happening and if there is a fix? I've seen that some people have this issue but no fixes that I can find?
Any help would be brill

i have the same issue on mandriva :( works fine in the widow, make it full screen and it just locks up. i have found i can alt+tab out of it or click on the screen and keep pressing escape and it minimizes it again so no need to reboot.

but.....................this might help ;) fixed it for me
