Adobe Flash plugin is not enabled to run on any site in recent Google Chrome versions by default. Google Chrome is supposed to ask for permissions to run Adobe Flash plugin on sites such as CESNET Connect. You can grant Google Chrome the permission to run Adobe Flash manually by clicking on the connection information icon left to the omnibar, selecting Flash and choosing Always allow on this site from the drop down menu.

Due to the security problems in Flash Mozilla marked Flash as blocked by default. Plugin can be activated manually through all websites or on https://connect.cesnet.cz/. Detailed instructions can be found at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/why-do-i-have-click-activate-plugins.

You can use Adobe Connect Mobile if you want to use Adobe Connect on mobile platforms Android and iOS. You have to use your access through the web browser for application installation, otherwise, it will not be possible to log in through federated identity. Do not put your login information into the application. use only your federated organization. After successful login, the browser (system) will start or give you the choice of starting the Adobe Connect Mobile.

  • Notes:
    • Ubuntu 10.10

• Opera does not belong to supported browsers and integration to Adobe Connect does not work

• From version 11.0.1.129(beta) Adobe flash includes regression. Adobe Flash plugin stopped using default audio device in ALSA and is accessing directly to hardware. As a result, the user is not able to choose audio output device (for example, through PulseAudio pavucontrol). Adobe Flash plugin does not allow to configure the audio device. Regression is reported in Adobe Bugbase (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=2968177). Adobe does not plan to fix it yet.
  • One workaround is to change default devices in $HOME/.asoundrc and not using PulseAudio). You have to write following lines into.asoundrc:

defaults.ctl.card 1
defaults.pcm.card 1

• Numbers of the cards can be found in /proc/asound/cards
• After that, the browser with Adobe Flash has to be restarted
• Other possible (recommended) workaround is to use the current version of Google Chrome with built-in Pepper API Flash Player plugin.

• Intel HDA audio

• Brooktree Corporation Bt878 Video Capture

Adobe Flash plugin plays the sound through ALSA. It is necessary to correctly configure routing of the sound between ALSA and the PulsAudio server on the modern Linux distributions with PulseAudio server installed.

.asoundrc should be configured followingly:

pcm.pulse { type pulse }
ctl.pulse { type pulse }
pcm.!default { type pulse }
ctl.!default { type pulse }

Adobe warns about the possible instability of audio subsystem on Adobe Connect with Linux platform (without stating further details). The possible solution is to turn off the Enhanced audio in Meeting→Preferences→Microphone.

• Recorded problems while using uvcvideo module with version lower than 1.0.0
  • After some time the Flash plugin stops to grab the video (camera 046d:0990 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 9000)
