[opensuse] new flash update crashes in seconds watching cnn video
Anyone else having trouble with the latest flash update 11.2.202.235. I had to revert to 11.2.202.233 as the new one crashes in seconds or less after starting video on cnn. -- Nate Pearlstein - npearl@sgi.com - Product Support Engineer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sure, something is going wrong with plugin-flash-player update 11.2.202.235. It crashes on openSUSE KDE 64 bit. If you go directly to YouTube probably HTML5 will do the job instead Adobe flash-player. Reloading the web page doesn't make it better. I already sent a report to Adobe.

that's why a bug report would be the way to go -- to find out what causes this. i also don't have problems with the new flash update (but don't use it extensively). in a proper bug report once could figure out what actually causes these crashes: x86_64, kernel version, video driver, or what. i won't raise one though, because i haven't experienced the problem yet. i would comment & supply my system's information, as an example where it doesn't crash. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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.

after noting trouble and reverting to .233, last night i saw that some video at cnn was NO problem--but one particular feed (live coverage of a court case) caused instant flash crash, _every_ time...even AFTER reverting to .233 so, maybe it was not a pure .235 problem ?? the live feed is at http://edition.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=stream1 which often has two or more to choose from and i found that only one of four offered feeds last evening caused instant crash. strange. -- dd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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

they work fine.

Weird, except for nvidia /intel difference I have same version of Firefox. Flash talks about sending a crash report but I can't even click on it to see or send it,design intelligence I suppose make the bug sender with flash as well so if it crashes it is unknown to the world.

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? Did you by any chance do a clean install or did you do "zypper dup" to get to your present system? Computers are mysterious animals and any small bit of info about their funny behaviour can often provide answers to problems somewhere down the line :-) .

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"?

Now it is getting interesting, with desktop kernel ( 3.3.5-1-desktop ) flash is not crashing ( that is 235) with or without hardware accelaration.

The new 11.2.x.235 Flash intermitent crashes on different situations. Mostly when video is redirected to YouTube page from another website( video embedded). Sometimes on YouTube site you could find one or another crashing (a reload could make it work ocassionally) I have been testing it on other sites like Vimeo, Metacafe, etc. It shows more crashes than YouTube. Not sure why. So far my tests and reports are coming from openSUSE 12.1 KDE 4.x..x and GNOME 3 (64 bit often 32 bit less crashes) and Firefox 12.0. I will check soon other operating systems to isolate it from distros specific packaging as soon it's possible. Hope it could give you any idea or leads.

OK, fair enough. But out of curiosity, why did you select -default? Any particular reason?
Habit I guess, acccept for netbooks I always choose default
OK, thanks.
Now it is getting interesting, with desktop kernel ( 3.3.5-1-desktop ) flash is not crashing ( that is 235) with or without hardware accelaration. I will need to try it with default kernel as well to see if there might me a kernel related issue going on.
Does anybody know when the flash crashes where does it dump the garbage

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 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

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? -- G.O.

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.

No problem here with that video with the .235 flash on 12.1 x86_64 and i915 (Intel Sandybridge Mobile). Tried 720 and 1080 full screen and embedded - no crash. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
