Flash-Player+BBCiplayer+(?nVidia?) Crash

English Applications
1

The latest update to flash opening BBC iPlayer - iPlayer Radio Home
Firefox, Seamonkey lock up
Closing apps results in a crash

This only affects my box with a nvidia graphics
Laptops with Intel are OK

Can someone else try please

2

Rolling back flash to previous version results in everything being OK

Good morning Caf, i have encountered several problems with Flash 11.2 as well under my Nvidia Geforce 9400GT card with 295.33 driver installed.
If in a tab i have a flash game opened, i can see the game frame in the other tabs in the same position. This goes for youtube clips too and of course performance issues. Flash 11.1 seems to be OK. Another fine mess labeled Adobe is guess. :slight_smile:

Thanks
I take it you rolled back to 11.1 flash then?
And didn’t update to 11.2 to try BBC?

And didn’t update to 11.2 flash to test BBC?

Somehow I’m wondering if there is hidden agenda from Adobe and Google to
take over the Linux browser space?

Given that 11.2 is the last Flash player for Linux (outside of Chrome)
which only gets security fixes (the above is no security issue) and
they explicitely stated that they won’t fix that issue which affects
basically every nvidia based system it seems that Flash on Linux is
almost dead now (outside of Chrome). The problem is that the internet is
not ready to get rid of Flash yet :frowning:

Bad times ahead.

Desktop with Ati (Mesa drivers) and Flash Player 11.2.202.228 works just fine.

8

My x86 computer with nvidia and flash 11.2 crashes. My 64bit computer which also runs NVIDIA and flash 11.2 doesn’t, all seems fine.

9

I might add that this is flash in general, not related to BBCiplayer which isn’t installed on neither.

I was having a problem with everything turned an intense blue. Happened in both Firefox and Chrome.
Rolling back to flash v 11.1 fixed the problem.

I wasn’t meaning the iPlayer application, merely the iplayer web site
But thanks

Thank you for responding
Seems there are some varying results

13

Yes, i use flash player 11.1 and the page you posted in your first link works without problems and i was able to listen to a radio post there.

14

Also having issues with Flash Player 11.2 on openSUSE 12.1 x86_64, GNOME 3.2. This video:

looks like this:
SUSE Paste

Actually I made another thread without actually searching before, I thought I was the only one, sorry…
@Caf4926: how can I roll back to Flash Player 11.1 (which I think is the good version) in Software Manager? It would be the very first time I do a roll back since I started learning openSUSE…

15

Just search for flash-player
And switch to the radio button tab
And toggle the older version + the kde4 related package

16

Or gnome related package if you use gnome

I posted another “trick” in the other thread. Did you try that, i.e. disabling hardware acceleration in Flash?

To downgrade Flash:

  • Yast - Software - Softwaremanagement
  • Search for “flash”
  • Tick / select the flash-player package in the right panel
  • Click “Versions” in the tabs below that
  • Click the radio button for the desired version, in the top panel you’ll see that the flash-player package is selected for updating.
  • Perform the update
  • Restart softwaremanagement, search for flash-player, right click the package’s line and pick Taboo - Don’t change.
    That’s it. Enjoy. And let us know if this worked for you.

disabling hw acceleration in the flash player fixes the blue tinting (and disables hw acceleration)

Thanks for posting that
I did a guide on the roll back

I preferred the rolling back method because I still want hardware acceleration on videos, but also that workaround did work.
Thank you all again.
