Description Tony Blackwell 2012-08-06 21:47:11 CEST
It's a bit cheeky to even suggest that mageia should be involved in fixing problems between 2 different proprietary systems, but by now I guess we're all aware of the blue faces problem with flash on U when using the proprietary Nvidia driver.  This will be with us for as long as flash takes to die...

However, there is a work-around patch for libvdpau,  Interesting read as I had not understood the problem.

Perhaps we could patch this for Mageia 1 and 2?

Do you have make the recent updates ? see https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGAA-2012-0158

Status: NEW => UNCONFIRMED
Ever confirmed: 1 => 0

Comment 2 Tony Blackwell 2012-08-07 08:25:46 CEST
Mageia is ahead of me.  However, nil to update now.  Also:

# urpmi lib64vdpau1-0.4.1-2.1.mga1
No package named lib64vdpau1-0.4.1-2.1.mga1
[root@quad tony]# urpmi lib64vdpau1
Package lib64vdpau1-0.4.1-2.mga1.x86_64 is already installed
Marking lib64vdpau1 as manually installed, it won't be auto-orphaned
writing /var/lib/rpm/installed-through-deps.list
[root@quad tony]# 

Are the updated packages not in Mageia 1 updates yet?
Comment 3 Manuel Hiebel 2012-08-07 16:25:36 CEST
Depends on you mirrors, now it should be the case (some sync only once a day and as it was pushed only a few hours before my comment..)
Comment 4 Tony Blackwell 2013-02-02 03:07:04 CET
This is now old and well-understood.  Limited by Adobe not updating their linux flash driver as I understand it.  Mark as resolved, within these limits

Status: UNCONFIRMED => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
