Description Kyle Graehl 2004-12-29 20:34:01 UTC
try making your window size about 900 px and click on "back to sundara varna", and a flash window should appear over the mouse cursor. with net-www/netscape-flash-6.0.81, firefox 1.0 immediately crashes under xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3, as soon as the page begins to load.

i downloaded install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz from http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux and copied libflashplayer.so from this file into /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so and the page no longer crashes.

/usr/bin/firefox: line 88: 15257 Segmentation fault      $mozbin "$@"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.window size about 900px
2.http://www.tribe.net/template/pub%2CViewPhoto.vm/context/tribe?currentoffset=1&parentid=4b782b33-f39e-446b-9cd8-bbfd3398cd5d&sortby&r=1
3.click on "back to sundara varna" (and make sure cursor will be over where the flash loads)

Actual Results:  
/usr/bin/firefox: line 88: 15822 Segmentation fault      $mozbin "$@"

Expected Results:  
not crashed
Comment 1 Jason Cavett 2005-01-27 20:21:59 UTC
I also emerged netscape-flash plugin and do not have such a problem.  (Also, /opt/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so already exists.)  Could you please list the USE flags you compiled with?  Mine are...

net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0  -debug -gnome +gtk2 +ipv6 +java -ldap -mozdevelop -moznoxft -mozxmlterm +truetype -xinerama -xprint

net-www/netscape-flash-6.0.81  +gtk
Comment 2 Heiko Baumann 2005-02-09 05:31:22 UTC
also problems with firefox and flash plugins here.

browse to an flash enabled site for example this one

http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/56195

the flash is shown as expected but if i leave the page, like clicking on a link (href also on heise.de) firefox crashes with segfault. same error as described in this bug report. but on line 392 of /usr/bin/firefox.

i "fixed" this problem with emerging latest flash plugin in portage. (see emerge history below)

the problem started after i updated some packages on my notebook.  im sorry but i dont remember exactly after which ebuild to problem appeared.

Comment 3 Emmanuel Rosa 2005-06-10 16:17:35 UTC
On my system firefox hangs instead of crashing, when I go to a page with flash.
I had it under control a bit when using gplflash, but with that it actually
crashed SOMETIMES.

mozilla-firefox-1.0.4
netscape-flash-7.0.25

I also tried having firefox download netscape-flash-7 instead of using the one
from portage, same problem. I think the problem is in firefox and not in
netscape-flash because I think it started happening when I upgraded to
firefox-1.0.4 from firefox-1.0.3.
Comment 4 Emmanuel Rosa 2005-06-10 16:44:13 UTC
I just varified it IS firefox. I tried using netscape-flash-6.0.81 and had the
same problem :(
Comment 5 Alex Cannon 2005-07-26 08:08:52 UTC
(In reply to comment #3)

Non apple laptop users have power managment too!  There is an eject key, and the
system still supports suspend. I'm not sure about LCD brightness on the apple
LCD screens, or CPU frequency scaling, but I assume they support that too.  It's
not just laptops that can pbbuttonsd. 
Comment 6 Diego Alcorta 2005-09-05 04:52:14 UTC
This is the error I get with mozilla-firefox or mozilla-firefox-bin with
netscape-flash 7.0.25.  Is this related to use of old hw? (voodoo3).  I'm using
gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r9

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)'.
  (Details: serial 99 error_code 8 request_code 144 minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (1)
Comment 7 Jory A. Pratt 2005-12-11 15:18:52 UTC
We have no way to track problems in netscape-flash as it is a binary. You might
wanna try to file a bug upstream if this is still an issue in latest release of
flash plugin.
