hi guys

i'm using a super old laptop while back in the uk for the birth of my child to try and keep skritter up and have a few questions

i have just put xubuntu on it as windows 2000 didnt have chinese characters and i dont have the 2k cd to update it.

it seems that skritter loads fine etc. but when it comes to doing anything in the box where you write the characters and tones etc, my mouse doesn't want to do anything, it just disappears and i can't do anything.

does anyone have any ideas? any help would be appreciated.

Which flash do you have installed? There are a few options for flash on ubuntu and a lot of them are problematic. If you can get it installed, I find that the official Shockwave Flash version works the best.

Which version of xubuntu are you using, by the way? I haven't had any problems with Flash on the latest release (9.10) so that might be worth a look if you're not on it already.
