I'm only relatively new to ubuntu and am having a problem with firefox. There was an update waiting for me this morning to install some dummy package and since I've done that firefox falls down whenever I try to go to a page that requires flash. The screen turns grey and nothing happens.
With my limited knowledge (and inability to use any page that requires flash) I've tried to remove and re-install flash but nothing I do seems to work
So this just started a few days ago... maybe 7 at the most.
I am working along, and screen goes black, or just freezes... the lights on my laptop start blinking and becomes everything becomes unresponsive.
I have noticed it is usually when I am Using Firefox and Flash content. I have also noticed it happens when using Deluge, but it usually takes 5 minutes to kick in.
I am using firefox at the moment, but I am sure if I load up a ..... video, it will lock up on me again.
firefox almost always crashes when a flash video plays except when firefox is
started in terminal, in this case flash becomes slow and the following message appears in terminal:
(firefox:1692): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
i' ve tried some solutions like reinstalling firefox full package and flash player but the problem persists.

I'll navigate to a page in Chromium and X will crash and restart, bumping me back to the login screen. Any idea how to start troubleshooting this?
Nothing obvious in the X logs.

After a recent update to Slack64 current, GL xscreensavers cause KDE to crash every single time they are run. The crash actually happens as the screensaver exits (ie it runs fine until a mouse or keyboard event, then crashes).
Here's the relevant Xorg output:

Whenever I'm browsing the web on one of my natty machines, I'm subject to periodic reboots that leave nothing in the syslog. Here's the two constants I've discovered thus far.
It only happens when I'm using a browser (plugin?).
It doesn't matter whether I'm in Chromium or Firefox.
It doesn't matter whether I use Unity or Gnome 2.
This happens every 2-3 days from what I can tell.
This problem is not power related because I've tested it with and without an UPS present.
The computer does a full reboot without any shutdown procedure.
The configuration of this computer is as follows:
Intel i3 2100
ECS H67 Dual Nic
Haupaugge Dual ATSC Tuner
MDADM RAID 10
8GB 1333MHz (MemTested)
The browser plugins are as follows:
Flash 10.3r181
VLC Multimedia Plugin (compatible Totem 2.32.0)
Windows Media Player Plug-in 10 (compatible; Totem)
DivX Web Player version 1.4.0.233
QuickTime Plug-in 7.6.6
Something is running my memory up and causing my load to crash my forum. I keep noticing this error and have no clue really how to go about fixing it.

Could this be causing my CPU to run high? How would I go about fixing an error like this or is it even doable?
I've just installed F15 over the weekend, and since then I've been having stability issues - primarily it seems to be related to gnome 3 (I've used fedora since its early days, and have never had such stability issues in the prior versions). Basically, when I use gnome-tweak-tool to make a modification, the system crashes; and I have to completely shut off the unit (unplug it) for it to even boot up properly. Today, I tried to change one of the options from its default, and now the very top (black bar) won't show.
I'm in the "File Manager" mode and can see the "Computer", "home" and "Trash" icons. I can move them about; and click on any of them to open. But once they're open nothing else works (clicking on any of the directories, etc, has no effect). I can ctl-alt-F2; but that's the extent. I deleted the .gconf and .gconfd directories (suggested in a different thread on a similar issue), but that didn't change anything. How do I bring back the default gnome 3 bar at the top?
I rebuilt my user account from scratch (that was the fastest approach for me). Nevertheless, gnome-tweak-tool does crash (for example, each time I turn on "File Manager"). This is clearly a bug. I'm using nvidia GTX 480; the problem might somehow be related to the card/driver. I definitely spoke too early I logged out of my account; logged back in, and the top bar is gone again and I'm left with having to deal with this again.
I'm using centos 5, kernel 2.6.18-164.11.1.el5I have occasional server network problems (the NIC driver will basically crash/restart causing no connectivity for a period of time) due to the marvell sky2 NIC driver being a problem, as discussed here: This essentially means the server is unreliable when under any kind of reasonable load, to put it mildly.Worse still, the driver problem has not been resolved in 2.6.18.x - but it seems to have been resolved in the latest Linux kernels.I really don't want to compile the kernel from source, etc, but it looks like I may have no choice.Is there a repo which has a pre-compiled 2.6.20+ or 2.6.30+ kernel which I can use,
View 8 Replies View Relatedi've noticed lately that when scrolling, the video "tears" and moves along with my scrolling on sites such as videos, when it should be fixed in position. note that it doesn't actually move perfectly and is flickery/cropped while scrolling. i have all the latest updates (10.10) and notice it in both chromium and firefox, so it's either the window manager or ati driver.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm running firefox 3.6.12 with the following add ons installed: Windows Media Player 10, Div X web player 1.4.0.233 and Flash 10.1 r102. Ubuntu is 32 bit as is the Flash plugin. Quicktime, VLC and iTunes application detector are installed but disabled. I get recurrent episodes whilst using firefox where the entire screen goes grey/black and after a minute or so the login screen appears and I have to enter my password get back to the desktop. I suspect that this is flash related as it normally occurs after watching a few minutes of video. Disabling flash reduces the frequency of the problem but does not eliminate it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been having trouble lately with firefox freezing. For awhile I couldn't figure out what was causing it as it seemed random. But I think I narrowed down the problem to the mplayer plugin. Whenever I go to a site that has streaming video, the mplayer plugin would start reading the stream, but then display "stopped". Now sometimes when it does this firefox would freeze, but sometimes it wouldn't freeze till I start mousing over my bookmark tabs, then it would freeze my entire desktop. I can move my mouse but not much else. I can do a ctrl-alt-backspace to reload the xserver. Has anyone else noticed this? Also, can some help me troubleshoot this. I've removed and then re-installed firefox and the myplayer plugin; deleted my .mozilla directory; changed profiles. Is there anything else I can do?

View 4 Replies View RelatedFor ages, I've been having problems getting my webcam to play with websites that use Flash. The cam works fine with programs like Camorama, but when I try to use it on a Flash site, Flash always crashes regardless of the browser used (Chrome, Firefox, Opera).
I used to use the workaround described here, but since upgrading to 11.04, even that doesn't work any more. I've tried installing the latest flash beta using the Firefox Flash-Aid plugin, to no effect.

currently running debian lenny using the non free adobe flash plugin and have just tried watching an iplayer program and yet again, as with ubuntu and sabayon linux, every time it goes full screen after a few minutes the plugin crashes.
is this a debian compatability issue as i believe the other two distributions i tried before are also based on debian?
i like ..... and iplayer both of which need flash, is there a way to make it work? i know with videos i can use the html5 version but iplayer has no such option so for that i need flash to work
i have ubuntu 10 lts and have searched the forums and internet yet not resolved this issue so hope i`ve posted in the right place. i have installed, via the ubuntu software manager, the latest adobe flash as every browser i try crashes within at most ten minutes of trying to play a flash video full screen, usually within four minutes. i cannot play anything on bbc iplayer or videos fullscreen and i have no idea why. i have the latest flash plugin and have tried chromium, midori, firefox, opera, conkerer (not konqueror) and epiphany and every one crashes. tried firefox in safe mode and it still happens, opera just stops playing the video but all the other browsers crash except chromium which tells me the flash plugin stopped working. i really need it working and don`t want to have to return to windows just for flash so has any one an idea where i can start in solving it?

Ubuntu 11.04(up to date)
flash plugin - v11,0,1,98
flash aid - adobe beta, from adobe labs
Firefox - 6.0(according to the "about firefox")
i have installed and reinstalled both the flash player and flash aid is there a way to do this and how?the player works on some sites and not others is it possible that im up to date and there not?
i'm running on an i686 architecture with a 32-bit processor, and i'm using a fully updated firefox, more or less. i was able to install adobe flash 10 successfully, and i can load, manipulate, and access flash programs without incident. however, if i am running a flash program on one tab, and then in another tab i load another program (say an advertisement), the original program crashes.
why this is annoying:
i will listen to a song on videos, and open another tab to browse. a flash advertisement will crash the videos video. the video's viewing area turns white/gray and requires a refresh of the page - not a restart of the browser - to work properly. the only add-ons i installed are firebug and fireftp.
I have FC14 i686 on a IBM T42 laptop and installed adobe flash direct from adobe. Firefox seems to play ..... etc fine. However, if I try to use the flash photo uploader in facebook or flickr, it appears that the flash component crashses.
Firefox continues to run though - only flash crashes (the upload window disappears)
I have not updated firefox, just installed flash.
This has happened multiple times. I'd be running firefox and it would crash for whatever reason. I'd try to restart it and it would tell me that it's "already running as another process."
ps and top show no firefox. killall can't kill it. I found a few forum postings saying to delete the .parentlock file in the firefox directory. That allows me to start it, but all my personalizations and settings are gone. I have to each time create a new profile and copy everything over.
Kubuntu 9.04, all up to date, 2.6.28-13, 64-bit.
Working with Ubuntu v10.04, Firefox v3.6.3 and No-Script add-on v1.9.9.81, if you click the button "Options" that is in the right-down corner of the browser the X-Server crash but apparently is restarted by the OS immediately. Any other around with the same issue out there? I temporally disable the NoScript, but if someone know how to fix this, please let us know...
