I had that problem on one of my computers where I installed the CUDA development system. The CUDA installs its own libraries and the libvdpau_nvidia.so library was not getting used!
I used the following command to remove the "offensive" vdpau library: sudo rm /usr/lib/libvdpau.so /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1 /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.304.54 /usr/lib/libvdpau_trace.so Then I restarted my browser and it worked like a charm. You should have another library named: /usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so If not, then you probably will have problems... FYI, I had CUDA installed with: cuda_5.0.35_linux_64_ubuntu11.10-1.run When running 12.04 and it worked fine. When I upgraded to 13.04 I decided to remove CUDA for the time being and still had that color problem. I found the solution (a mention of that library) from this Adobe bug report: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3109467 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libvdpau in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967091 Title: Wrong tint in flash when it uses video acceleration Status in Adobe Flash Plugin Tools: New Status in VDPAU vendor-independent libraries: Fix Released Status in “adobe-flashplugin” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “libvdpau” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “adobe-flashplugin” source package in Precise: Won't Fix Status in “apparmor” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “libvdpau” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “adobe-flashplugin” source package in Quantal: Won't Fix Status in “apparmor” source package in Quantal: Invalid Status in “libvdpau” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in “adobe-flashplugin” source package in Raring: Won't Fix Status in “apparmor” source package in Raring: Invalid Status in “libvdpau” source package in Raring: Fix Released Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Debian: New Bug description: Using Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit, nvidia binary driver, youtube videos show blue faces after the upgrade to flashplugin 11.2. Didn't occur with 11.1. See example at: http://i.imgur.com/S58GP.jpg SRU description [IMPACT] * Flash videos have the wrong tint ("blue faces") on Precise when using nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates. * This effectively renders Flash videos unwatchable for all LTS users with an NVidia video card. [TESTCASE] * Install nvidia-current, view any Flash video on YouTube, eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkVBXW4JeUI. * Reproducable with various Nvidia video cards from at least the GeForce 8 series up to the GeForce 600 series. * Screenshot included in Aloysius' original bug description. [Regression Potential] * While Stephen Warren's patch is not exactly a one-liner, it is rather straightforward and only changes libvdpau's behaviour for Flash. * On the off-chance that this change causes instability, it can be easily disabled via vdpau_wrapper.cfg. * The patch is widely tested, is included in upstream since 0.5 and has been backported for 0.4.1 by the Debian team. The fix is included in Quantal (0.4.1-6ubuntu1).
