flickering problem on Ubuntu 11.10

the game flickers from time to time on firefox and chromium (open source chrome).
also, chat text seems a little too small.

printscreen fails to capture this... sorry...

seeing as it happens on more than one browser, its an OS problem most likely, but it can possibly be adobe's fault... or even benjamansen's... :O

Try different browsers? Idk, I don't have much experience with ubuntu/linux. Just enough to save my windows computers when one of them overheats too bad.

It does this on chromium too. (chromium is open source chrome)

Joli OS sucks, and this is the best free one out there as far as I know... Well, I guess i'll have to play EE on my other laptop.

Try these commands in Terminal...

sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-installer sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin

By default Ubuntu uses a community version of Adobe Flash, which in my personal experience doesn't work as well as the developers vouch it to be... By removing the community version and installing the OFFICIAL Adobe Flash version you should no longer have any issues that relates to flash... Since after all you will be installing the version made by the same people who created Flash in the first place... Makes sense, yeah? Trust me, you will be happy after doing this. It will remove many of the issues people generally have with Flash on Ubuntu. Including the common annoyance where you have 1 window open with flash, and when you close it... Everything else with flash crashes (EE included). You will never see that problem again after doing so.
