Bug Description

Binary package hint: nspluginwrapper

nspluginwrapper crashed when loading firefox 3.0 with a bunch of tabs open from last time. Many of the tabs contained arstechnica pages with embedded flash; one of these (or possibly trying to load all of them at once) is probably a good candidate culprit.

This seems to happen reliably when there are multiple flash objects, either on a single page or in multiple tabs. It doesn't seem to happen with just a single flash object.

The page is over-the-top scripted and draws on many resources. I actually hate it for those reasons and only visit it once a week to check its spam filter for wanted email.

For all I know this could have more to do with Chrome problems than Lucid.

AFAIK the latest 64 bit flash player is still an alpha version and doesn't seem to have had much in the way of updates(? not sure). In any case, before it can go to full release it still has to enter beta. Considering the 32 bit flash player 10.1 is currently at beta 3, a 64 bit version would probably also need to go through 3 beta stages. Since the beta process takes months, I do not think an official release of 64 bit flash is close. Especially considering adobe only has a single developer working on linux flash, AFAIK.

So it is important to try and either fix up the 32 bit embedded version of the player (or write a new one ourselves), since it will definitely be around for quite a while.

NB: I believe this bug is reported upstream as https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-2609

I'm thinking I might have seen firefox hang and/or crash on i386 in similar cases. However it seems this happens more often on amd64 than I see the hangs on i386...

At least this isn't fatal to firefox, so it feels better.....

I did not read the above comments, but here my 10c:

1) I think ndiswrapper should fork sometime so a crash does not affect all pages (like apache does in some worker threads: simply fork for each 10 applets or for each different applet(even better) ). when forking for different applets, we can also see the bad plugin in a particular case

2) If the/an ndiswrapper instance is gone because of some errors, the browser part of ndiswrapper should be able to start a new instance to fill the applet area again at lest when the user opens a new page or presses F5. This will generally improve stability, even for users running i386 which are not forced to used ndiswrapper yet.

3) as Rolf Leggewie already mentioned, for me Bug 178038 and Bug 141613 are dupes

It was installed with synaptic.

and I still get imbedded flash crashes, particularly at eWeek slide shows such as:

It obviously needs to be on one line, but this comment box shows it split.

I have uninstalled gnash and any other flash libs, but here is what is in the nsplugin dirs:

/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/:
dirs.d/ i386/ noarch/ plugins/ x86_64/

/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/dirs.d:

/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux:

I encountered this bug in both Lucid and Maverick, but the issue with flash on 64 bit systems is well known. Adobe Labs has released a new 64 bit version (alpha-level) of Flash for all platforms.

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

I removed the default flash that came with the Maverick upgrade and followed the instructions for installing the Adobe Square release. No further crashes with the npviewer and libflashplayer. The Square release does not use nswrapper.

Thanks for the Adobe link!!! The old 64-bit plugin worked great, but they discontinued it and I had to go back to the nspluginwrapper solution which crashes. I will try the new version.

I had this with Kubuntu 11.04 with the Chrome web browser.

It would eat all my memory over maybe 2 hours, (5gb) then would segfault.

But now is doing fine. I also had crazy behavior from my cdrom and dvd drives. The would spin for no reason, like refreshing. I was getting high cpu usage from jbd2, and gvfs-gdu-volume. Usb thumb drives would be continually read.

Practical ever app I would launch was spitting out QNotify and ibus errors from terminal, the gui one's that is.

Only thing I can think of was I installed ibus. I created manual y folders for ibus in home/user/.config/ibus/bus.

I went into Locales and set the default locale to en-us and the input method to ibus-kde. It seemed to clear dozens of problems.
