I installed the adobe flash player 11 beta 1 64 bits from here Download Adobe Flash Player 11 Beta for Desktops - Adobe Labs
It seems to work well with firefox 5, but under konqueror (4.6.5 / openSUSE 11.4) I have many random nspluginviewer crashes with a
message when a page contains a flash object. This did not happen with previous versions of the plugin so I’m wondering if anyone else see this. Reloading the page with F5 is usually enough and everything seems to work without problems… until I load another page and then have another crash. In fact, the crash mostly happens when loading the page, not when the flash object is already loaded.
The crash is not for nspluginswapper, but for nspluginviewer: because the plugin is 64 bits native, nspluginwapper is not even used. AFAIK, nspluginsviewer is provided by kdebase4-nsplugin package, not by nspluginwrapper, and it’s needed for konqueror to use flash and other plugins.
Notice that the problem is with 64 bits flashplayer 11 beta 1: the old 64 bits flashplayer square did not give this problem (it gave others, though ).
I’m seeing the same crash, but reloading the page does not fix anything for me; nspluginviewer just crashes again. The browser as a whole doesn’t crash, though, and closing the crash dialog allows the rest of the page to display without the Flash objects. The new Flash works fine with Firefox, Opera, and even Rekonq.
It is possible to keep the old version of Flash for Konqueror while using the new one for other browsers. Just put the old libflashplayer.so in a separate directory somewhere (I created one in my home directory), add it to the list of plugin directories in Konqueror, and have Konqueror scan for plugins.
Same experiences here. I usually use konqueror (with firefox as a back-up) and have suffered the same occasional crashing with the 64bit flash beta version. A quick re-fresh usually sorts out the problem.
I was thinking of going back to the 64bit flashplayer square as I never had any problems but will see how things work out.
Newer versions of Firefox work fine with the beta 64 bit Flash 11, but there are lots of flash freezing problems with the Firefox 3.6 line. So I’m thinking that perhaps switching Konqueror from KHTML to webkit, which uses newer technology than KHTML, might help get Flash working. I’d check into that.
I don’t really use Konqueror for web browsing much, so I didn’t even know you could do that until I saw your post. I just tried it, and yes, it does fix the problem for me.
