Slackware :: Flash Player Crashing All The Time In X86_64 ?

Mar 28, 2011

i was having severe problems under slackware64-current with the adobe flash player plugin for firefox. browsing and watching videos on videos was a pain in the neck with the player crashing when opening a couple of tabs, and constant lockups for several seconds while the plugin wrapper that was running it was taking one cpu core for itself.

it seems the problem stems from a recent change in glibc that modified the memcpy implementation and caused a bit of havok in some packages. i'm guessing it's the same change (or a similar one) that caused problems with sysklogd and iptraf, among others, with strcpy and overlapping strings. remember the patches:

strictly speaking, those are problems in the program source code, but most people seem to think it's a bad idea to provide a memcpy that doesn't work for overlapping strings. a bit of discussion can be found here, with a few priceless comments by torvalds:

[url]

it seems the source code for the flash player plugin probably contains this bug, as manually modifying the libflashplayer.so binary to replace memcpy calls with memmove calls fixes the problems. at least it clearly did for me.

a quick recipe can be extracted from that bugzilla entry and one of its attachments.

for example:

code:

that should modify the binary in place provided it's located at ~/.mozilla/plugins. the resulting binary is not distributable but the recipe is.

General :: Flash Player Hasn't Been Working For Some Time

Oct 14, 2009

My flash player hasn't been working for some time and I downloaded Flash Player 10 tar.gz from the Adobe website.I followed the instructions on various websites as the ones on the adobe website were too complicated for me, and after eventually figuring out how to open a terminal window, the commands wouldn't work.

OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Flash Player Breaks After Some Time Opened?

Dec 15, 2010

I got a problem with flash player. Atm I'm using chrome. Flash version 10.1.102, chrome version 6.0.472 So, my problem is that after a long while of having the browser open (any), flash player stops working properly (it's hard to describe but in ..... for example, the image and sound freeze for 5 seconds, in the next second everything happens at once, freezes 5 seconds again, shows all that frozen time in fast forward again, etc). This happens every a few hours of not closing the player's plugin I restart flash with the chrome task manager, reload the page, and it works properly again. I tried using firefox but I have the same problem (except I cant restart the flash plugin without restarting the browser).

General :: Slackware 13.1 - How To Install Flash Player 10

Mar 27, 2011

I went to watch a short little clip on ..... and it said I needed flash 10 so I downloaded that and the problem is, is that when I tar the file there was only one other file in the tarball which was libflashplayer.so. Would I need to download the source for that and the slackbuild if its got one. I am having difficulty trying to download anything it says to select a mirror and go from there but how do you uncomment a mirror? I cant even update my computer. I am using slackware 13.1 64 bit.

Software :: No Sound From Flash Player (Slackware)

Oct 10, 2010

I have a fairly fresh install of Slackware and I just installed the flash plugin for Firefox. After installing the flash plugin, I'm able to view videos, but I'm unable to hear any sound.

- Pidgin also does not play sound

- Amarok plays sound fine

- Other KDE system event sounds play fine (i.e. starting and leaving X)

- I used alsaconf to configure my sound as it wasn't working right after the Slackware install

Aug 11, 2010

Using Pentium4, snd_hda_intel, Codec Realtek ALC880, slackware64 13.1, No Gnome, firefox3.6.8 with flashplayer. Is is possible to replace Flashplayer with mplayerplug-in? Followed this a ubuntu tutorial:[URL]..community/SoundTroubleshooting to identify Sound Device using:

Code:
$wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh Tested sound by running gxine wizard which set it up as a plugin. Also ran mplayer but there was no wizard for firefox plugin both play sound. Used slackpkg to download mplayerplugin and pkgtool to install it. Where is mplayerplugin suposed to be installed? ***Found Mplayerplug-in... Pkgtool installed it right into Tools -> Addons-> Plugins intoo firefox... So i am going to disable Flashplayer and see what happens Thought I had to mannually configure it?

Slackware :: Flash Player Not Play Audio On Particular Recording

Apr 28, 2010

My flash player has stopped playing back audio on a particular TV show recording. Movie is fine but no audio. It's fine with every other movie. However, I notice I can play that same tv show in windows, which has to discount a problem with the station or their movie files. The slack package used to play this tv TV program until recently.

Code:
[URL]
Do you think reinstalling the package would fix it?
i.e.
Code:
slackpkg remove flash-player-plugin-10.0_r45-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
then
Code:
slackpkg install flash-player-plugin-10.0_r45-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

General :: XP Crashing In VMware Player With Ubuntu As Physical OS / Fix It?

Nov 16, 2010

it?I have Ubuntu 10.10 (and Ubuntu Server) on a factory Dell Inspiron 530. It's running an Intel Pentium Duo Core CPU (1.6GHz), has 1GB RAM, and VMware Player installed. When I boot XP SP3, it runs, but randomly crashes. I managed to update IE6 to IE8 without crashing, but when I tried to download MS Office 2010 Professional (Trial), it crashed near the end of the download. I got a blue screen with the following:

"STOP: 0x0000000A, 0xB2EEf304, 0x00000002, 0x80508008

It then begins a physical dump of memory, completes, then automatically reboots XP in the virtual machine.

Every time it does this, it shows different memory addresses.

BTW, I also watched performance while doing this. As soon as CPU hit 100%, the download crashed, and soon after, XP crashed, sometimes locking up the physical machine.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Crashing All The Time?

Sep 9, 2010

I have Ubuntu 10.04 32bit on two machines and the one my parents has been crashing/having other issues a lot (the other is fine). I build my own PCs, and this one I built for my parents as a budget build as they basically use the internet and upload photos, that's it. It's got an AMD 64 3800+ processor, a GeForce 8400GS, 1 Gig of Corsair DDR2 (this passed 8 hours of memtest), an ASUS M2A-VM mobo and a 320GB WD HDD.

The crashes initially and may still be, GUI/graphics related. The biggest problem is they would boot up the system and there would be no GUI, it just never loaded so they would hard reboot. The other thing that would happen, when it went into screensaver mode, moving the mouse wouldn't bring up the password prompt, it wouldn't do anything just leave a black screen with no mouse, it would lead to a hard restart. These problems initially occurred on an older HDD that used to have windows xp on it that my parents loaded with viruses. Of course that HDD had been reformatted for Ubuntu, but I felt that it was damaged and these problems were related so I went and got a new Western Digital one for them and installed it with fresh installs of Ubuntu 10.04 (and a dual boot of Windows 7) but these crashing issues have persisted.

I found a fix on here that had me "force" the GUI to load each time via the terminal, which seems to have worked somewhat and the GUI loads more often. However, every now and then on boot up, parts of the GUI do not load and a window pops up asking that I delete elements from the panel. Again, this leads to a restart, except now sometimes when it reboots it gets to a DOS prompt (sorry, old windows user) of sorts that asks for a system password, when entered, nothing happens and requires another hard restart. These restarts tend to happen in chains leading to DOS prompt a faulty GUI or a GUI with missing elements.

There are also other general issues. Periodically desktop icons won't launch programs and or menu items will not load programs when selected, just nothing happens. When browsing the net with Opera or trying to open the recycle bin, the screen will just go black.I also messed around with the built in Nvidia Driver finder tool under system - administration-hardwaredrivers, tried the recommended and not recommended drivers, no difference. I've booted into recovery mode on the grub menu tried fixing and updating things via the menu options, still get one of the above issues.This system is up to date with system updates as well. I'm not sure what else to do, but I still have a sinking suspicion this is caused by some kind of graphics driver problem or maybe a problem with that graphics card in particular! I've installed Ubuntu fresh on this machine 3 total times, the latest install only last month when I created a dual boot with Win7.

Fedora :: Flash Keeps Crashing In 11 And 12?

Nov 20, 2009

I had the latest adobe plug in installed in fedora 11, and then recently did a fresh install of fedora 12. The flash usually works fine until I open multiple tabs in firefox and crashes almost immeditely when I open multiple flash videos, though not always.It is not that big of a pain, but it would be nice to have multiple tabs open for the kind of work I do :-).

Fedora :: Firefox Crashing All Time

Dec 20, 2010

Recently firefox has been crashing on me like crazy. I'm on Fedora 14 with the latest repo firefox version. Running firefox with the "-safe" flag doesn't help nor did reinstalling firefox using "yum reinstall firefox". According to ABRT every crash is due to: "Process /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)". When run from root in terminal via "sudo firefox" with and without "-safe" after crashing the message returned to terminal reads: "/usr/lib/firefox-3.6/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 2*** Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$prog" ${1+"$@"}". The stars after 2 (I.e. "2***") are to indicate different numbers. On one run they were "2406" and on another "2538". Recently, in all instances firefox crashes right after attempting to navigate to a website (I've tried many - there is no correlation between what website I go to and if it crashes). Previously, when firefox was crashing less frequently, it occurred intermittently and wasn't correlated to any action I took.

Ubuntu :: Flash Crashing All Browsers

Mar 27, 2011

i am using 64-bit ubuntu 10.04 and recently upgraded my drivers to catalyst 11.2 (ati mobility radeon 5470). lately my flash has been crashing constantly, to the point where i've uninstalled it so i can use the internet. the browser eventually recovers on websites like facebook and the worst culprit, gmail (videos is hopeless), and does so immediately if i "killall npviewer.bin" - firefox will go unresponsive for about 30 seconds then recover, and depending on the website it will go unresponsive again - on gmail this only takes a few seconds. it happens in firefox, epiphany, and chromium. i think this problem looks familiar and there was some fix by editing a text file somewhere, but i can't find that problem i remember anymore so i can't check.

Fedora :: Getting OSS4.2 And Flash To Work On X86_64

Oct 23, 2009

I had quite a bit of trouble getting OSS4.2 and flash to have sound on x86_64 fedora 11. I had been using the Adobe repository which is 32bit. Adobe labs distributes a 64 bit version, and I notice now that Leigh has packaged it for fedora. Switching to the 64bit flash plugin brought back sound in flash for me. Just wanted anyone else wanting to try OSS4.2, to know how to get sound in flash.

Fedora :: FF 3.5.5 And Flash 10 (Adobe Repo) Crashing

Dec 14, 2009

I'm using the Mozilla version (tar.gz) of FF 3.5.5 and I'm using the Adobe Repo to install Flash 10. Everytime I go to a Flash site (....., Hulu, Amazon VOD) the browser crashes. If I use the Fedora Repo version of FF (also 3.5.5) then the crashing is much less frequent, although it does still happen. I tried making a symbolic link from the flash-plugin directory under /usr/lib/flash-plugin into the /home/user/firefox/plugins directory, but still no dice. How do I get Flash to behave properly with my Mozilla version of FF 3.5.5...any tips?
