Potlatch under Ubuntu not usable

Posted by Yabba on 21 January 2010 in English.

Since a few weeks Potlatch is not usable in Ubuntu with the latest Adobe Flash. This was so bad that I deleted a node by accident and can't restore it. :(

Can anyone restore the supermarket node of the Mercadona?
I only tried to fix the typing from the wrong "mercandona" to the right: "Mercadona".

I've not had any other reports of that. What do you mean by "not usable"?

Is working fine for me: Ubuntu 9.10, latest flash non-free and FF 3.5.7

@Richard: First, sorry for being a kind of unspecific.
I use Ubuntu/Kubuntu 64-Bit with Gnome, Firefox 3.5.x or any other Browser (Epiphany, Koqueror, Opera). After changing to edit I get this Welcome-Layer and get no reaction to my clicking. It's like frozen. Sometimes I get through the welcome-Layer and then no reactions to the mouse. Pressing tab I can switch through the items. By doing that I removed this one item/point by accident.
I have the Flash-Player 10.0.42.34 as 64-Bit version.

Ah, right. This is a generic Compiz problem with Flash, I think. See Colin's link, also ubuntuforums, and http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=5505 .

@Richard and ColinMarquardt: Thanks a lot!

This works nicely:
WORKAROUND 3: Open a terminal and enter:
gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
Then add: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 before the last line of text
