[Bug 761975] New: flash plugin 11.2.202.235-21.1 crashes in firefox and chrome after online update
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=761975 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=761975#c0 Summary: flash plugin 11.2.202.235-21.1 crashes in firefox and chrome after online update Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Eduard.Avetisyan@desy.de QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.19 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/18.0.1025.168 Safari/535.19 version 11.2.202.233-15.1 worked fine in both, the new version 11.2.202.235-21.1 installed via online update crashes or hangs as soon as any page using flash is opened. Downgrading to the stable version helps. The new version seems to have a new feature - it asks for permission to run on every new page (this was usually handled via flashblock addons for most people). Just to make sure it's not a conflict between addons and plugin I've disabled all addons and the result is still the same. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. launch browser 2. navigate to adobe.com then click on "Flash player" 3. observer the flash window crash or hang indefinitely Actual Results: flash crashes or hangs Expected Results: flash functions normally I would suggest to pull back the new version from the online respoitory till it's fixed. Though I think flash is a horrible platform, it gets more and more popular, and one can hardly have full web experience these days without it. Oh and yes, if "firefox" is the wrong subsection please move it to the correct one.

I think there is not much we can do about it? I guess the latest update is security relevant so pulling the update is probably no alternative.
Means it either runs insecure (e.g. downgrade to previous version) or doesn't run at all...
I don't know a better component but I as Firefox maintainer can do nothing about it anyway. Therefore adding the security-team to CC to evaluate the issue. Thanks!

You can simply downgrade flash instead than the whole distribution. YaST will let you do that. ;-)
Yes, downgrading to flash player 11.1 not the distro, sorry for the confusion created :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

/etc/adobe/mms.cfg from last update got EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode = 1 you can switch it to 0, and all will be fine.
So I think that this should be set to 0 per default, not to 1. If someone still wants HW acceleration it can optionally be turned on by this user again, but since it causes trouble on some machines it should be turned of by default in the suse package. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In bug 762176 you said that it "should be set to 0 by default" and here it is weakened by "I think". Let me assure you that before today, I hadn't the faintest clue what "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode" was. Still don't, really. I have certainly never touched the thing before changing it to 0 this morning. Is another bug report needed for the mis-set configurable? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

openSUSE 12.1, KDE 4.8.4, Nvidia driver 295.53, no crashes, but i still get graphical corruption from flash pages,
Are these "corruptions" maybe comparable to as reported in bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738951 (These are reported against intel chipsets) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Right, does the corruption of the graphics go away if you change EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode to "0" in mms.cfg ?
Why is this important? It should not be necessary to spend hours Googling down solutions to the problem. The time needed for affected folks to find the kludge-around should be minimized, so please prominently display the kludge in the related bug reports. It has been confirmed for weeks that this kludge reduces the Flash crash frequency. It has been working for me for weeks. We need a proper fix from Adobe and need to have it distributed through the SuSE repos. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
