Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Hi everyone,

Using the popular ABC iView site in Australia, fullscreen video is pixelated and not very clear to view. Prior to the latest updates on the 29-3-10 (Australian time) video had improved quite a bit since the release of Beta 1 but it has now degraded again.

My board is a Gigabyte 945GZM-S2 (Rev 3.9) with an E4300 dual core, Intel CPU with onboard graphics and 2GB or ram.

Thank you for the log. The log says which packages were updated when, and quite a lot were updated on 29-3-10. The only suspect I could see was libx264, but from the description it looks like it is only used for encoding and not decoding videos. Unfortunately, I don't think this bug report will receive any priority soon, since there are many other bugs that make the computer unusable, and this only makes it a little less usable. If you find which package that made the difference, it may make it easier to isolate the problem and more likely that someone will have time to look at it.

Thankyou for taking the time to look into this. I'm new to bug reporting and looking at Beta versions of Ubuntu
and am enjoying it. I can understand that there are more important bugs to look at. I will have a new machine in less than a year so it doesn't really matter for me but helping out others that have a similar setup to my current machine was my main aim. It does seem to have improved somewhat since the next round of updates but I am on Karmic at present, so will have more of a look later.

Thanks again, the work you guys do is greatly appreciated.

It seems to be a flash site (couldn't confirm what is used to deliver the content though since I'm outside of Australia). Please can you confirm the bug on uptodate packages, and particular an updated flash plugin.
