I'd like to get the existing bugfix accepted as an SRU. Hope I get the SRU process more or less right.
While simply using the Quantal revision's changes in Precise would work perfectly well, I also created an update for the Precise version that includes only patches relevant for this bug. See the linked bzr branch and debdiff. ** Description changed: 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). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967091 Title: Wrong tint in flash when it uses video acceleration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libvdpau/+bug/967091/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
