[Bug 104470] Re: firefox crashed -- libflashplayer.so

2007-11-07 Thread popoff
I also have the same crash closing flash-pages. My workaround is simple
and transparent. make a wrapper to launch firefox with this lines:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
firefox $@


So, you preload de flash plugin before launch firefox and it isn't never 
unloaded when you close a flash page.

Of course the path of libflashplayer.so must be the one matching your
system installation.

It seem to be a good workaround until the resolution of the bug.

Regards.

The bug seemed to disappear (or at least manifest far less often) when
I switched from 32-bit Feisty to AMD64 Gutsy.  Maybe the bit of
indirection created when 64-bit Firefox has to use the plugin wrapper
to handle the still 32-bit Flash plugin makes the bug stop
manifesting.

2007-11-05 Thread DanielRoesler
I followed the directions in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/98688/comments/44, which is similar to
bugmenot's solution.

It is a definite improvement. Instead of a ~1/3 chance of crashing, it's
now a ~1/20 of crashing. Still not perfect, and definitely something
that would get my Mom (the test I use) immediately jumping back to
Windows, but progress none the less.

Is there a bug tracker for this on Adobe's site? Anyone contacted them
and asked about it?

I had this problem also with Flash site after upgrading to Gusty. Following a 
suggestion found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1672572 I changed 
my color depth in /etc/X11/xorg.conf  from 16 to 24.  Now Firefox no longer 
crashes on Flash sites for me.

I had reduced the color depth to 16 to use Compiz I think.  I had the
color depth at 16 before with Fiesty while trying out Beryl or Compiz
but I had no trouble with Firefox as I recall.

I have a IBM T40 notebook with VGA compatible controller: ATI

I would like to add that I have this problem on two computers, my
desktop and my laptop. Both of them use snd_hda_intel. My other computer
that doesn't use snd_hda_intel doesn't have the problem. The problem
appeared with kernel 2.6.20.5-16.29. Reverting to 2.6.20.5-15.20
definitely fixes the problem for me.

This is a major issue, as most web sites containing flash cause firefox
to hang when navigating to another page.

This seems fixed in kernel 2.6.21/22 (as XPed by me before with my

Maybe it's a kernel 2.6.20-bug and has nothing to do with flash...

2007-06-23 Thread Drew Woodard
@N. Spohrer
That is encouraging to hear that the issue may have been resolved in the newer 
kernels.  The fact that it seems to only occur with the sound chips using 
snd-hda-intel drivers might point to the kernel, on the other hand flash is the 
only piece of software that triggers crashes on my system, and other people I 
have talked to with similar sound chipsets only experience instability when 
using flash.  It might be some bug in one area or the other that is only rarely 
triggered but happens to be triggered reliably by its counterpart in this bug 
report.
I guess it doesn't much matter at this point assuming it has been fixed in a 
dependable manner, the only downside I see is now the response to people with 
this bug will be well it's fixed in the beta meaning they will have to either 
use a pre-release version of Gutsy or live with crashes until October.  Which I 
admit is a lot better than nothing.

@Alexander Sack
I still experience this issue with the 2.6.20 kernel, I have not yet tried any 
2.6.22/Gutsy kernels that N. Spohrer mentioned.
The workaround of having flash loaded in the background has been effective for 
my setup and other machines I have tried it on that are experiencing this 
issue.  Unfortunately it's not a practical workaround if you are trying to 
deploy Ubuntu in a lab or office environment setting.

However, my onboard audio is 7.1 compatible. It's not fair for me to

@ Andrew J. Montalenti

you can give it a shot, as I have.  Though I must say Adobe's bug report
scheme leaves a lot to be desired, if you report a bug on the blog they
will delete the post.

They have a forum at the following address, but bug reports there seem to get 
ignored and quickly pushed off the page
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid=15catid=194entercat=y

there is a bug report form at the following address, but as one commenter on 
the blog mentioned it is like dropping pebbles down a well as there is no way 
(that I know of) to track a bug and you have no way to know if the bug you are 
reporting has already been reported by someone else.
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish

I have submitted this bug to their bug report in addition to the other
places mentioned on this page.  But regardless of what component is most
responsible for this crashing behavior I rather hope it can be resolved
without having to wait for a new flashplayer release as those seem
rather unpredictable.

I think I've worked around this bug using the FIREFOX_DSP environmental
variable.  You can edit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc and add

FIREFOX_DSP=aoss

This will use the Alsa-OSS DSP wrapper, which I know used to work nicely
for me back in Breezy days.  Indeed, I haven't had a Flash-related crash
since setting this variable.  I know there's still a deeper issue here,
but this may be useful information to others.

I just noticed a interesting twist to this bug.
When I was using 2.6.20-15-generic I got the same behaviour as most people 
(Firefox crashes upon closing the last flash-using page). I recently installed 
the lowlatency version of the kernel, using this Firefox hangs as soon as the 
flash-plugin is loaded, or on the first interaction with the applet.

2007-05-19 Thread meldroc
I'm encountering the same issue - if I click Back, close the tab, or
otherwise attempt to navigate away from a web page (like a Youtube page)
with a piece of Flash content that does lots of multimedia stuff (like a
video), Firefox will freeze, and I have to kill it and restart.  It does
appear that this only happens with Flash content that has sound.

Unfortunately, going from on-board sound to an external sound card isn't
really an option for me - I'm running on a laptop (Asus A8Js, running
Feisty with stock Firefox, flash comes from the flashplugin-nonfree
package, sound is an onboard Intel 82801G chipset, using the HDA Intel
driver.)

I'll try the workaround, but I'm personally finding this bug to be
highly annoying.

How does the testcase look like? Firefox always crashes for you when

[Bug 104470] Re: firefox crashed -- libflashplayer.so

2007-05-15 Thread buzzsaw
My experience with the FF freezes are pretty similar to those described
above: if you click a link while a flash vid is playing, it hangs.  If
you try to close a page with a flash vid playing, it hangs.  Those are
very reproducible.  And then there are those hangs while playing flash
vids which seem (to me at least) completely random.  In any case I have
to kill the process and restart FF.  Many thanks in advance to whoever
sorts this one out.

 Now that we know a good deal of the problem is sound card related (possibly 
 sound card driver related) does anyone know 
 any other work arounds I could try for the meantime?
 -Jeremy LaCroix

Someone found a temporary workaround, apparently the potential crash
only happens when you close the very last thing currently using flash.
So what you can do is open a konqueror window, load some short flash
video on google video or whatever, it will play then finish, move that
window onto another desktop just to get it out of the way, then run
firefox and you can browse flash videos normally.  You could probably
also do this with two separate copies of firefox if you wanted.

Re: [Bug 104470] Re: firefox crashed -- libflashplayer.so

2007-05-15 Thread Dave M G
The workaround seems to work on my system. What I do specifically is:

1. Open a new FireFox window.
2. Go to Youtube and select to open any random video.
3. Press pause so it doesn't reach the end.
4. Minimize that window.
5. Open a new FireFox window.
6. In the new browser, surf the net, watch videos, do whatever.

With at least one instance of Flash running in another FireFox window, 
Flash does not crash.

Thank you for reporting this workaround. Though I hope Flash, FireFox, 
or Ubuntu will eventually be resolved for so as not to have this problem 
with Flash and hda intel sound drivers.

it's starting to look like this really is a sound related problem, at

having the problem with an older kernel may be it is a driver
regression.

I don't know for sure what is causing the crash but it seems like it is sound

else (in the forum post I linked on 2007-05-10) reported that switching from 
onboard sound to a standalone card stopped the problem for them.

You are right that people experiencing the problem have reported using a
number of different audio chipsets, but it looks like most (maybe all?)
have chipsets that use the snd-hda-intel drivers.  Below is a rough list

I seem to have fixed the hanging problem by using the older kernel
instead of the one that comes with Feisty. In the boot menu, select
kernel 2.6.15-27-386 instead of 2.6-20-15-386 and firefox will not hang
while browsing pages with flash media (like YouTube).

Now, does this mean the bug is with the latest kernel and not with
firefox or the flash plugin?

2007-05-10 Thread Drew Woodard
I am also someone experiencing the problem of browser freezes when
navigating away from flash pages, or closing flash pages.

One thing I found through trial and error was that the freezing problem went 
away when I disabled my onboard sound chipset, making me wonder about the audio 
driver, alsa, flash, or some interaction therein.
I posted this in a thread on the ubuntuforums and someone else with a similar 
sound chipset reported that when they disabled their onboard sound and used a 
standalone sound card instead their freezing problems stopped as well.  The 
thread in question is here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=340811page=3

to the other people here experiencing the freezing problem, I am curious
to know what sound chipsets you have, and if disabling the sound
chipset, either through the bios or other means, causes this problem to
stop.  Obviously disabling sound isn't a solution to the problem but it
might help narrow it down.

my sound chipset is a Realtek ALC888, aka realtek hd audio, the
other person who determined their flash freezing was sound related also
reported having a realtek hd audio chipset


if I issue the command:
aplay -l
I get the following identification:

2007-05-08 Thread Jeremy LaCroix
I have the same exact problem. I am using Ubuntu Feisty x64 with the
latest Firefox.

I have tried the following:

Installed 32-bit Firefox with Flash

Installed 32-bit Swiftfox

Used the wrapper to install flash on the x64 Firefox

Reinstalled Ubuntu Feisty (Three times).

Deleted my profile (Several times)

Removed all extensions

Searched for duplicate flash installations (there were no duplications)

Followed the Mozilla troubleshooting guide

Tried Firefox in a terminal window (no errors)

What ends up happening is that Youtube will randomly crash the browser
and I have to kill the process to get out of it. This happens one out of
every five videos I view. I could stop the video, click on another one,
pause it then click on another one, exit firefox completely, but no
matter what you try it WILL crash when it wants to.

This happens on other sites as well. I list Youtube only because I
frequent it quite a bit. I watched a video that I found on www.korn.com
and it froze when I tried to navigate away from the page.

This is probably the most annoying bug I faced yet. My theory is that
Adobe released a beta flash plugin as final.

It's either we make Adobe fix its plugin or fix Firefox to handle

with a little more weight on the latter.

2007-05-05 Thread Dave M G
Hello.

I get the same behavior as described by others in this thread. Firefox
will hang and requires me to forcibly kill it.

For me this most often happens when switching from one video to another.
But, as others have pointed out, there is also a random component to it,
making it hard to predict when it will happen next.

I can also add that this is not exclusive to YouTube. I get crashes when
playing flash on other video sites, and even flash based games.

I see this bug is being handled, but if I can contribute any additional
information that might help, please let me know.

Otherwise I mainly just wanted to post so that I will be appraised of
updates to this problem.

Thank you all for your hard work on making Ubuntu a great OS.

Doing an strace on the firefox process after it hangs will always give
you this...

| $ strace -p 6688
| Process 6688 attached - interrupt to quit
| futex(0xac041bd8, FUTEX_WAIT, 6710, NULL

I'm guessing process 6710 is the flash process/thread. So it must be
that the flash process hanged and firefox is infinitely waiting for it
to finish. Opera must be handling it better by not infinitely waiting
for the flash process to finish.

An easy but probably not perfect solution to this problem I read about
in the forums...

In your home directory, run this command:

mv .mozilla/plugins .mozilla/junk_plugins

That will effectively delete the flashplayer.xpt  libflashplayer.so
stored in that directory, which seem to be the problem. Once these files
are out of the way, firefox will use the correct ones. (I believe the
correct ones are located in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/ but I'm not
100% sure. )

I can now play all youtube videos fine in Feisty and I can stop the
videos midways, hit the home button, etc all without problems. Also, I'm
running flashblock extension and it works great too.

Hope this helps.

Interesting ... so you are saying that flash works if you use a

2007-04-29 Thread Julien Sansonnens
I can confirm this bug
I'm using Ubuntu Feisty , Firefox 2.0.0.3 and Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31

to reproduce the bug:
go to youtube, play any video, and clik on the home button (yout startpage). 
Firefox the freezes, and you have to kill it in order to exit.
Please not that this will not happen everytime. pretty random.

I can confirm this error.

os: feisty (Ubuntu 7.04)
browser: firefox 2.0.0.3 (Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.3)
plugin: flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.31 (Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31)

I think this is not a problem with flashplugin-nonfree because the same
plugin works fine in Opera. I think it affects Firefox and other Gecko-
based browsers.

I think some people have already raised this bug in Bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378400). Although I can
open the page (flash) described in that bug report, all the symptoms
look the same. Firefox hanging when browsing Flash pages.

Thank you all for your comments.

Please all of you that are experiencing the same behavior (I confess
that I'm unable to reproduce it myself :-P ), can you attach to [1]
either the full crash report from /var/crash/ (if any); or a gdb retrace
as explained at [2] or [3].

Thank you in advance.

In my case. it's not a crash but a hang. I'd have to kill the process
manually before I can start a new instance of firefox.

2007-04-28 Thread Enrico Pangan
I tried doing an strace (strace -p 32499) on the firefox process, here
are the last few lines before it hanged.

| shmdt(0xa8fe1000)   = 0
| shmctl(1075937401, IPC_64|IPC_STAT, 0xbfa56e0c) = 0
| shmctl(1075937401, IPC_64|IPC_RMID, 0)  = 0
| shmdt(0xa9013000)   = 0
| shmctl(1075904621, IPC_64|IPC_STAT, 0xbfa56e0c) = 0
| shmctl(1075904621, IPC_64|IPC_RMID, 0)  = 0
| semctl(12779521, 0, IPC_64|IPC_RMID, 0xbfa56e58) = 0
| close(95)   = 0
| futex(0xaac0bcec, FUTEX_WAKE, 1)= 0
| futex(0xb323ebd8, FUTEX_WAIT, 32679, NULL

It seems like firefox (PID 32499) is waiting on process 32679.
Unfortunately, I cannot find more information about process 32679. It's
not in the Processes tab of System Monitor. When I tried to kill 32679,
it also kills the firefox process with the following entry in the
strace.

| futex(0xb323ebd8, FUTEX_WAIT, 32679, NULL) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system 
call)
| +++ killed by SIGTERM +++
| Process 32499 detached

Hope this helps. This is easily reproducable.

[Bug 104470] Re: firefox crashed -- libflashplayer.so

2007-04-25 Thread HeWhoE
After upgrading to 7.04, I've been getting crashes with Firefox every
time I view videos on YouTube.  The crash occurs sometimes when I try to
close a tab while a flash video is playing, and also sometimes when I
click on a link to view a different video. When I click on a link, the
browser becomes stuck on the current page and never makes it to the
linked page.   Iin the statusbar, I'll see loading ad.doubleclick.ne
and it just hangs.  So, I thought it was a problem being caused by
doubleclick.net, and I made ad.doubleclick.net an alias of localhost.
The problem persisted (although instead of being stuck on loading
doubleclick.net, firefox got stuck on some activity with youtube.com).

Hi Hilario,

Here is what I get from my feisty installation when running the command
line you specified above.

dpkg -l | awk '{if ($2 ~ /^firefox$|^flashplugin-nonfree$/ ) {print $2
$3}}'

firefox 2.0.0.3+1-0ubuntu2
flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.31.0.2ubuntu1

I'm running the AMD64 feisty installation and not the i386 one - I don't
know if this is relevant but I have a second feisty installation running
the i386 kubuntu installation and I never see the problem on this
machine. I only see the problem on my AMD64 installation.
