Flash crashes

[Gelsenbury]

Since the last update to the Flash player plugin, I am again experiencing crashes of the nspluginviewer (!) component in the Konqueror browser.

(Note that this is not about Firefox, nor about the nspluginwrapper package whose uninstallation has been recommended to generations of Mandriva users!)

This was not the case until the update. Can anyone tell me whether this is a bug or a matter of settings?

Can you provide a backtrace of the crash?

[Gelsenbury]

Yes, but the KDE Crash Handler itself says that it's not useful ... all it says is:

Code: Select all

Application: nspluginviewer (nspluginviewer), signal: Segmentation fault

[doktor5000]

Well then you should run konqueror in GDB, it will tell you which -debug packages to install to provide a useful backtrace.
Maybe see http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development ... ware_Crash for that or this forum thread: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1137 for the general procedure.
You can add debug repositories via

Code: Select all

urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist --interactive

or with

Code: Select all

urpmi.addmedia --distrib --mirrorlist --all-media

it is a problem of the 64 flash plugin
