openSUSE 12.1 KDE or GNOME 32 bit doesn't look negatively impacted by Adobe Flash-Player 11.2.201.235 updates (plugins included). Both, KDE and GNOME 32 bit works pretty fine post updates and there is no crashes watching Flash videos. So, only 64 bit systems are affected by the broken Flash-Player updates (11.2.202.235). It doesn't matter how many webpage reloads Flash video crashes anyway.

i have not avoided writing a bug due to laziness.. instead, after having many instant crashes with .233 (at CNN and other places) they _suddenly_ ended (have NO idea why).. then, with no problems with .233 for many hours, i went to the new version again.. and, have had zero problems with .235 in about 24 hours.. therefore, i'll not write the "could not duplicate" bugzilla. or, should i? -- dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Weird, except for nvidia /intel difference I have same version of Firefox.

That's interesting.....

I did a clean install of 12.1 on a new computer and it installed the *-desktop kernel (which I upgraded to 3.3.4-1 only this afternoon).

I am wondering why the installation should choose *-default for you and *-desktop for me?

Because I own the machine and told to install what I want not what it wants ;) I even have a laptop with no postfix/exim/sendmail installed because it is a laptop not a server and I can use the mail server I have or use gmail or whatever that is doing the mail services for me.

I, too, "own [my] machine" but as far as the kernel was concerned I allowed it to pick what was best for the 8-core cpu I have :-) .

There was a discussion about the difference between the "default" and the "desktop" kernels and, if I recall correctly, the "desktop" is optimised for better performance which is not that important on a server with regards to video latency for example.

When you were installing, did the installation select "desktop" and you overrode this by deliberately selecting "default"?

I found a silly solution to all flash-player video crashes and the people on it turning their skin blue. Flash-Player 235 made some changes on video behavior on my side and other people's computer on this mailing list. I did some tests with 32 bit and 64 bit systems, GNOME and KDE, openSUSE 11.4 and 12.1. I did some tests with different video card adapters including nVIDIA, ATI, GMA and Pineview Intel Controller. Including propietary and free drivers. It looks related to propietary drivers installed and 64 bit systems. Same hardware with 32 bit system and free drivers are not impacted disregard the video adapter cards. Conclusion: If you find the Video Flash Player Crash or people showin blue skins. Reload and/or Go to YouTube or any video hoster. Stop the video playing. Mouse Right- Click on Video image will show a contextual dialog. Move the pointer to Setting option and press Left-Click on it. It will show several tab. Choose Display Tab, Uncheck the Hardware Acceleration box. Reload your favorite video and voila. No more crashes.

Hi Ricardo,

I rolled flashplayer back to the last working (for me) version and locked it there. I'm too busy to run experiments right now. I'll try your solution and report back soon. Thank you for doing the hard work and writing such a clear description! :-)

regards,

Carl

Welcome. If you find the workaround useful post your comments. I did a more extensive tests It has been hard to find what is causing the Adobe Flash-Player 11.2.202.235 video crash and ocassionally showing people on video with blue skins. 1) I had found no issues on 32 bit system at all on my last research. Not completely true right now. Some unpredictable conditions appears to show the flash video crashes at early beginning or a few minutes later it begins or jumping from one video to another. Ramdomly, it will come. 2) It does not matter what video card adapter (integrated or modular), drivers type (free or propietary), kernel type (2.6.37 or 3.1.10-1.9)-not tested on upper kernel yet or derivatives (desktop, default, pae, etc..) Some of Video Card Adapters already tested: -nVIDIA Quaddro NVS160M (NV98) -nVIDIA GeForce FX7200 -ATI Radeon HD 4850 -Intel i915 -Intel GMA 915GM -Intel Pineview Integrated Graphic Controller - Everyone crashed on different conditions. Not happen on older Flash-Player versions. 3) The only temporary workaround is still If you find the Video Flash Player Crash or people showin blue skins. Reload it and Go to YouTube or any video hoster. Stop the video playing. Point your Pointer or Mouse Right- Click on Video image and it will show a contextual dialog. Move the pointer to Setting option and press Left- Click on it. It will show several tab. Choose Display Tab, Uncheck the Hardware Acceleration box. Reload your favorite video and voila. No more crashes or people with coloured skins.

Sorry for the newb question, but here goes. Where do you select "use hardware acceleration"? Is this an application specific selection, or something that is done in configuration?

When you are on the video itself - ie, about to actually try and play it, for example - right-click and you will see Flash's "drop-down" menu (if you want to call it that) and you will see the tick box re the Hardware Acceleration.
