Comment 69 for bug 346289

Hi all,
so as someone coming from Win7 having just decided Ubuntu 10.10 is to be my new choice as a primary OS, I have been doing what I always do to any OS I use...customizing to perfection or close lol.

In any case up until a few days ago I had spent a great deal of time researching how to address Youtube fulls screen freezing and HD playback issues.

So having tried all the fixes and workarounds I could find, including testing Youtube in Opera, Chromium, and Firefox 4 beta, I was about to forget about it because nothing was working.

Then I found the solution for me...simply remove compiz and its core then reboot! Afterwards Youtube HD playback and fullscreen mode worked flawless. Finally time to watch every preview for Tron Legacy in all their HD brilliance ;-)

So if nothing else is working for you and you can live without compiz effects, remove it completely, reboot and hopefully all will be running just fine for you.

I still have a great deal to learn about Ubuntu for sure, but for now its time to watch a little Youtube HD and relax...finally!

Cheers,
Yan
