It is client-side problem, not OM issue. Linux 3.2.1-gentoo-r2 i686 adobe-flash-11.2.202.235 - issue exists, flash upgrade did not help
Solution is to add OM IP to trusted sites in flash settings. On 05/22/12 15:51, brian mullan wrote:
George, Yes the my Ubuntu machine that I was using last night kept failing regarding this Adobe Flash Player bug as I could not click on the Adobe Flash Player Settings Menu to ALLOW the server to use my WebCam & Mic. On a 32 bit machine I didn't have a problem. But the bugs I listed below are just a few of those filed on this issue by Mac & various Linux distro users concerning inability to "click" on Adobe Flash Player Setttings Menu options. Seem ... that beside overall market movement toward HTML5 as a replacement for Flash ... this is another good reason that I hope the future holds the same for OpenMeetings to substitute HTML5 for Flash use. Let me know your 32 bit server and I'll try that too ... but I think this problem may be client side ? I could be wrong though<g> Brian On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 8:45 AM, George Kirkham <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Brian,____ __ __ Are you saying that this an Adobe Flash problem affecting the Flash Player in 64 client computers?____ __ __ I had one user who has a MAC computer and they had the same issue, but after uninstalling and reinstalling Flash, all worked well.

However, I ran into a problem with Adobe Flash Player that I've since learned affects many/most x64 Linux, Mac and _some_ Win7 users.

If you go to Adobe's Bug tracker system and search for "flash player mouse click" you will find dozens of bugs filed by people using many different operating systems and browsers.
