As browser is a 64-bit application and Flash 32-bit plugin, things work in this way:
No, my system is entirely 32 bit, and 32 bit hardware.
- There is a 64-bit browser plugin npwrapper.libflashplayer.so.
- There is an invisible 32-bit browser npviewer.bin running 32-bit Flash plugin.
- npwrapper.libflashplayer.so itself just sends all actions to npviewer.bin, and it calls the the action in the plugin and any replies are translated in the same way back to the browser.
Flash itself crashes pretty often. With a native Firefox browser, it crashes the browser. With the nspluginwrapper, it crashes just the npviewer.bin and Firefox survives (without Flash). Starting with openSUSE 11.1, nspluginwrapper detects viewer crashes and is capable to restart it.
Seem reasonable.
To identify, whether the crash is caused by nsplugiwrapper or the plugin, you need a backtrace. If it is a crash in the proprietary plugins, I cannot help. If it is a crash of nspluginwrapper itself, it can be debugged and fixed.
I don't know, how it Flashblock works and whether it can be the cause of the crash.
I don't think I can identify the culprit, as there are no instances of "npviewer" to attach to. But don't worry, I see no ill effects in my browsing - I can see the flash animations when I want to, anyway, the only symptom are the entries in the log file. I might disable the plugin for a while and see what happens - as it needs a firefox restart I'll have to close this comment first. -- 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.
