Acting on Robert Persson's suggestion, I have created an Ubuntu Wiki page that I hope will be populated with information and fixes: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxFlashCrashes The wiki page only contains a brief template, introduction, and problem description. I don't know much about this specific bug, the packages that cause it, or even which fix proposed will work, so I can't add much beyond that. PLEASE go to the wiki page and contribute what you can.

Re: [Bug 192888] Re: firefox crashes on flash contents when using libflashsupport
4 months into the hardy releasy and six into this bug, and flash is still not working. I've seen some possible fixes in this bugreport, but no definitive solutions. I have seen many new users change back to Windows or to other distros because of this bug. Sorry guys, but this really needs fixing... IMHO it should be marked as *Critical*. It's sad to see newly converted users leaving linux and ubuntu because they can't see youtube. I don't really understand the status of the affected packages, since I see several fix released, but it's still not working. It would be great if someone could explain this, because it's a bit confusing (especially for someone trying to learn its ways around proper bug managing) But i have two questions from an average user's perspective: - Is there at least a recommended workaround for this ? If there is, it deserves front and center attention on the bug report and on the wiki at least (possibly also in the forums: How to Fix your crashing Flash) - Is there any way to contribute to this ? Package testing ? Further bug information ? Anything to speed this up ? (I don't think Ubuntu can afford 4 more months of this, and we should all pitch in.)

I'd like to test the new package also, but I only have a 64-bit install so the i386 wouldn't work for me, I don't think. cameo73 wrote: The combination libflashsupport + nswrapper-conn2 + flash 9 is indeed the most stable one (for me). I think the current (perceived) instability of Firefox/Flash (note that most people wouldn't know the difference) in Hardy is a real problem. I wouldn't be surprised that this has been a dealbreaker for people trying Ubuntu. Note to Robert Persson: nswrapper is originally meant to run x86 plugins in x64 environments. But it also has the benefit of 'sandboxing' plugins, so they don't crash the browser in case of a seg fault in the plugin. That's why the (I presume slightly modified) Conn version works: it doesn't fix the real issue, but it provides a nice workaround (i.e. limiting the crash effects -- and now negating them entirely). I personally hope this workaround will soon be released; especially since the currently available versions are (very) unstable. -- firefox crashes on flash contents when using libflashsupport https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192888 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The FlashPlayer9Solution page gives instructions to manually build the libflashsupport.so library that is *already* part of the libflashsupport package (that you tell us to remove in the first step), so your instructions are redundant.

I'm sorry you're having those problems, I would suggest trying a different Linux distribution, because from my experience, this Flash bug is Ubuntu-specific because I've never had problems with Flash on any other distribution even on the same machine.

Re: [Bug 192888] Re: firefox crashes on flash contents when using libflashsupport
After trying both the hardy libasound2-plugins and libasound2 packages, and then trying the same packages with a few backported fixes relating to the pulseaudio alsa plugin, and creating an .asoundrc file with asoundconf set-pulseaudio, I never get any sound from flash in firefox at all, and this is on two different machines, both i386, not using any nspluginwrapper of any kind.

Re: [Bug 192888] Re: firefox crashes on flash contents when using libflashsupport
The PulseAudio developers seem to think it's a bad idea to use dmix... Perhaps it would be better if we reconfigure PulseAudio purely for ESD output, until these issues are cleared up. Yes, let's do this. ESD is really broken and keeps crashing, so PA will do as a drop-in. We need to change the default GST configuration to use HALAudioSink again, so it gets access to DMix directly rather than via PA (thus minimising the latency and resource usage). -- firefox crashes on flash contents when using libflashsupport https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192888 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
