Some questions to narrow it down: * What version of Ubuntu? * Which flash player, and what version (GNASH, Adobe Flash plugin, etc)? * Which version of Firefox? * What's your video card * Do you know which drivers for your card you are using (drivers included by default, or the proprietary drivers if it's a card like Nvidia or ATI)? * If you are running a 3D card and Flash 10, do you have OpenGL acceleration enabled within Flash? (Right-click anything flash in Firefox, and click "Settings..." * Are you running a 3D desktop (Compiz, KWIN, etc)? If/when it happens, are you able to break out of X (CTRL+ALT+F1)? If so, log into the shell there and type "dmesg" to try and get a dump out of what the kernel is doing. Also check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg for anything suspicious. -Dan -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
