Inverted colours in Flash video using Chrome

Recently upgraded my video card to a Gigabyte Gt-520.  After selecting Nvidia driver in Kubuntu 12.04, YouTube videos had inverted colours.

The standard fix for this is to right click in the video, choose Settings, then untick the box that says "use hardware acceleration", close tab, and you're set.  This has worked for me before, but this time it wouldn't let me untick the box - clicking on it had no effect.

Out of desperation more than anything, I opened Firefox (also having the same issue) and oddly, it allowed me to untick the box, fixing the issue in both Firefox AND Chrome.  How 'bout that?


Intro

Gday.  This blog isn't really a blog, it's a collection of things I've learned the hard way and wish to share through the magic of being the result of a Google search.  It is not designed to be followed, just found as needed.

I use Lubuntu on my Toshiba NB550D, and just recently gave up on Kubuntu after 5 years and have installed Mint 15 Cinnamon on my circa 2007 Dell Inspiron 530.
