For packaged Gnash versions, please get help from the distro first; we don't have any control over how they package Gnash!

A white or grey box suggests Gnash isn't running, which is either because it's crashed, or because it was never started. Check about:plugins to see if Gnash is correctly installed as a plugin. Close all instances of the browser and start it again from the commandline while turning Gnash verbosity to 2 to get debugging output.

gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is already the newest version.

Make sure you have the ffmpeg plugin for gstreamer installed, as without it, there is no codec support, so no video will play.

Correction... On rightclicking the white/grey box no menu appears.

Also forgot to mention.. running 32bit.

I have tested with Youtube videos and various links from this webpage...

In all tests ... wherever a flash animation should have been ... it showed only a white box... and on right clicking on it it showed the regular right click menu instead of the gnash menu...

I don't know how to help debug this issue... if there are any commands for me to run to be able to provide more information please tell me and I will run them and report back with the results.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04, Firefox 3.6.8, gnash 0.8.8 installed from lucid repository. Uninstalled adobe flash plugin and with the help of plugin finder installed gnash.
