thanks in advance.

This started 3 days ago and I can't for the life of me figure this out. When I start a video in Netflix in Chrome,it starts perfectly. Then, when I change to full screen, the image freezes for a moment, my screen then goes black and I can't get out without a restart.

It is in Chrome 44 64 bit and Ubuntu 14.10. I tried uninstalling and reinstallingbut with no luck. ANy ideas?

I have found the solution which is working well for me till now -

posting it here -

I am using Chrome version -

40.0.2214.93

Faced the same problem. Tried this solution -

disable the hardware acceleration settings. in google chrome. For disabling hardware acceleration - go to the option "customize and control google chrome" the gray area in upper right corner besides the option of Google input tools- Google Chrome Tool Bar

Then click on settings from the drop down menu. click on the blue option

Show advanced settings...

check for the 6th category -

System

and see if the box for using hardware acceleration is checked

system

if it is checked please uncheck it.

hardware acceleration

This has solved my problem. I hope it will work with you too.
