BigBlueButton flash issues

Why can’t I accept the Flash Security Dialog on Linux

On some versions of Linux desktop when loading the BigBlueButton client, the user is unable to accept the Flash security dialog asking for permissions to access the computer’s microphone and webcam.

The solution is use the Flash security manager to add an exception for the BigBlueButton host. Doing so will no longer have Flash prompt for access to the microphone/webcam.

To add an exception, do the following.

Open the following URL in a browser Flash Security Manager settings. (This will open the security manager settings for the local Computer. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.html
Click on the tab with screen showing an eye (Web Privacy Settings).
Look through the list for the hostname for your BigBlueButton server.
Click ‘Always Allow’ radio button.

Now launch the BigBlueButton client. You should no longer be prompted for the Flash Security Dialog.

REMOVE OLD KERNELS

I tend to be on #ubuntu to help others. Today, an interesting question
popped up, how do I clean the old linux images and headers?

Each linux image / header has its own dir in /usr/src/

Let’s start, uname -a … do NOT remove this image

Let’s do a sudo apt-get update … make sure it is clean

If, for some reason, you get errors, try sudo apt-get -f install (fix broken)

Let’s get a list of all the images, dpkg -l | grep linux-image

for each image, issue
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-4.4.0-51 (your numbers will be different)
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-extra-4.4.0-51 (your numbers will be different)

It will do a bunch of things and that image/headers is removed.

After all is done, do another sudo apt-get update to sync everything.

Happy trails!
