flashplugin: only audio and gray square in google chrome

Hello, i installed flashplugin from multilib repo. When i try to watch a flash video i.e youtube i can't see images (only gray square), but i can ear sounds.. I use google-chrome-dev (v7.0.503.1).
If i open google-chrome as superuser flashplugin works fine.. So, i tried to change permissions to the folder /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins but same issue..

Any solution?

thanks in advance

Hi thepasto,

I had the same issue.

I solved it by reinstalling the flashplugin package and also lib32-libflashsupport (but I'm using 64 bit Arch, so not sure if it would apply).

thanks for the reply astacha..
I'm runnig arch 64 too, but this doesn't work for me. I don't think this is a problem of missing libs.. It works if i'm root!!
I think it's only a permissions issue.. But i don't know which file doesn't work properly.

Thanks again..
