Chromium and Firefox segfault randomly, while Opera works fine

Hello,
Anyone else getting random segfaults after upgrading Chromium to 6.0.472.53? 5.x was rock solid, but after community bumped the version to 6.x I keep getting lots of segfaults, it's all random and mostly happens when clicking a link, opening a new tab, refreshing the page or closing a tab. no matter the site, java, flash usage etc., it segfaults on everything. I can use it, but it's very frustrating. Any ideas?
Oh, and Firefox also does that, but I don't use it daily, so I don't know if it's the same issue. It just segfaulted on me a couple of times.
Nothing else I use segfaults, though I mostly use console stuff. The only other GTK app I use consistently is gajim, and it works 24/7. Also, I use Skype occasionally, it's fine too.
At first I thought it was because of the lack of swap, so I made a swap file and activated it, but it didn't help.
Everything I use is standard Arch stuff, besides the kernel and ACPI scripts (I use kernel-eeepc-901 and acpi-eee-generic from AUR).
Other info:
Asus Eee PC 901
1 GB RAM
Up-to-date Arch x86
Openbox
Chromium with the flashblock extension
Cheers!

I thought about it, because I mostly use Chromium via the shortcut button on the Eee itself, that is controlled by the ACPI scripts, which have to do user -> root -> user transition to launch anything and they do lose all env values that way (I restore them in the urxvt console shortcut for the second shortcut button via using "LC_ALL=en_EN.UTF-8 urxvtc" for the shortcut itself and urxvt*loginShell: true in .Xdefaults). However, I have tried launching it normally too (via urxvtc, gmrun and dmenu) and it still segfaults.
Anyway, here is the env that Chromium gets after using the shortcut button: http://pastebin.com/1rSi9ebd (got this by substituting chromium with xterm in the acpi conf file)
And here is my normal env I have also tried: http://pastebin.com/iTndqg38

  • No Video. Only Sound in Firefox/Safari. Chrome & Opera Works Fine? (MAC)

    When I load up a flash video in the browser on Firefox or Safari, I hear the sound but only see a black square for the actual Flash content.
    I've tried repairing permissions, reinstalling Firefox, uninstalling Flash and reinstalling with no success.
    Why would it work in Chrome/Opera but not Safari or Firefox?
    Am I missing something? This all started when I had a problem with Firefox crashing so I updated to the newest version and then updated Flash.

    I have tried google-chrome and google-chrome-dev too. They all crash.
    My Opera also crashes, but less frequently than Chromium and Firefox. So, that is how I could post this question.
    Does anybody know of a solution?

    Hi rohshall, did you have any success overcoming these errors? I am also seeing something similar that started a couple of months ago and only seems to effect some apps. For me Firefox is the worst offender, originally only crashing every so often but now will crash within 10 seconds or so every time. Skype also crashes occasionally in the same way (segfaults).
    Looking into `dmesg` I see:
    systemd-journald[137]: Failed to write entry, ignoring: Argument list too long
    I imagine that this could be caused by a stack trace or something, but Googling for this error shows only a few unrelated threads.
    In the end I completely switched over to Chromium to get away from the constant crashing of Firefox, and while Chromium itself doesn't crash on me, very occasionally I will find a tab that hasn't loaded or has crashed.
    I'm completely at a loss here, the only cause I can think of is memory corruption, but then I would expect it to effect many other apps as well (eg. Xorg, or parts of the desktop environment).

  • No animation or videos will play from Firefox, but other browsers still work fine. I have checked plugins and even updated to the Firefox 14 beta - no fix

    As of yesterday no animation or videos will play from Firefox, but other browsers still work fine. I have checked plugins and even updated to the Firefox 14 beta today, but this did not fix the problem.
    this problem started yesterday; before then there was no problem.
    I have updated everything I can find, and ran a system restore and disc clean.
    The problem still persists. What am I missing here?

    This happened to me too. This problem started suddenly with no changes made on my part. I had 11.2 Flash version with Firefox 13. I tried updating to the new Firefox, same problem, then updated to Flash 11.3. I even uninstalled RealPlayer.
    I read a solution on another forum and it was as easy as clearing my cache. Everything works fine now (even after reinstalling RealPlayer and allowing the download button function).

  • Why did Firefox stop buffering 40-50% of my radio stream and lock up. Used to work fine. Receives other audo fine.

    Firefox used to play my radio station fine. Now it will only buffer 40-50% and locks up. Other audio works fine.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 2 weeks

    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

    My MacBook Pro shut off three times yesterday after plugging my phone in but I managed to switch it back on each time. I left it to rest for about 20 hours and then today it Has been working fine all morning. Using indesign and Skype which usually slow it down anyway but it's been fine. Then I plugged my iPhone 4S into it and it just shut off again. But this time it won't switch back on. No idea why this has happened but I hadn't saved my work either. I'd not long plugged the charger in to it but now, it's still plugged in, but the light on it is very dim and is just flashing.
    No idea what to do. Please help!

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

  • SWC errors, while SWF works fine, why?

    Edit: I have tried using pure theora libs (no ffmpeg) and the same result - I have created a simple app showing theora info. When launched as standalone,works (shows theora version). As  SWC, error "can't allocate encoder context". Anyone any idea why it's failing with allocations in SWC? This is really frustrating, seems I can't get anything video related to work. Is SWC able to support anything more than some simple C stuff?
    Hi, I'm trying to make ffmpeg work through my custom SWC library which would encode multiple frames to MPEG1. I was "almost" finished now -  managed to put together a test app which upon exporting to SWF displays nice progress log(I'm test encoding 25 frames in MPEG1, so it shows encoding frame 1... X bytes, encoding frame 2...X bytes etc.), all is great up to this point.
    The problem is, when I emit this to swc. When calling my magic encode test function in the SWC - first, I've got stack overflow error in "dsputil_static_init". This was already weird, but I figured out that I didn't need the static init for mpeg1 encoding after exploring ffmpeg a bit, so I tried to disable this call in ffmpeg source. Then recompiled ffmpeg, my lib, tested and SWF still appears to be working fine without it. But again, when exporting to SWC - it didn't stack overflow, but this time my library errors out with "can't find codec".
    I have 3 variants of the code actually - SWF, SWC and one executable which produces a real .mpg file so I can have better proof than "encoding frame X". And it still produces a good mpeg when executd from cygwin's command line. The only problem is the SWC.
    My basic confusion is - why if SWF/executable  with the same libs etc. working fine, and then the SWC is failing on me? I'd really need to fix this somehow, but I don't understand the reasons, I thought once it's working in SWF it will work as SWC.

    Ok, this is what I did
    1) I've got the globalplayer 11.5 from Adobe's archive, copied it to the corresponding folder(right next to 11.1 which was already included in my Flex).
    2) mxmlc -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries -compiler.omit-trace-statements=false -library-path=decoding_encoding.swc -debug=false Document.as -o swcdemo.swf -target-player=11.5 -swf-version=18 
    Where decoding_encoding.swc is my former c library, Document.as only calls one function(the encoding one). This got me the swf.
    3) I run this swf in debug player, in IE (11.6), and error is popping up.
    In flashlog.txt I found this:
    Encode virtual file             <-- this is entry point of my C function (all is fine so far, proof that it has been called)
    Could not open codec            <-- FAIL again, this fails also in theora at a similar function (register codec context..huh?)
    [object Exit]
              at global/com.ffmpeg::F__exit()
              at global/com.ffmpeg::F_exit()
              at global/com.ffmpeg::F_ffmpeg_encode_mpeg1()
              at global/com.ffmpeg::encode_mpeg1()
              at Document()
    4)  I then go to my presumably failing C library, and change this in main:
    //  AS3_GoAsync();    <-- I commented this
        ffmpeg_encode_mpeg1(AV_CODEC_ID_MPEG1VIDEO);   <-- I uncommented this
    I launch the swf just to see if it also fails, but it goes like:
    Encode virtual file
    [mpeg1video @ 0x601410] Warning: not compiled with thread support, using thread emulation
    Entering loop
    etc..  
    All works! So I really don't understand, how can it work in the emitted SWF while in emitted SWC it already doesn't work? Is there a different way the swc is built, is it the way it manages memory at runtime, being restricted somehow by the main SWF, or is it just some stupid switch or setting. I'd need to see a little deeper into how the SWC is build I guess to fully understand this issue. Do you have any isnight into this ilookha, or someone else?  Or perhaps any other idea.
    I'm now trying to see if I can try to trace out the exact point of the issue in theora lib, basically I included AS3.h in their source code and now placing inline AS3 "trace" commands into the register codec function.
    I have traced in theora's lib inside th_encode_alloc function where it fails, and located the first obvious reason:
      enc=_ogg_malloc(sizeof(*enc));
      if(enc==NULL) {
                inline_as3("trace('enc is NULL!');\n");  <-- my trace
    I'm getting "enc is NULL". Which results into codec not found, because the whole function returns NULL. So it seems _ogg_malloc is failing to allocate memory. I bet the same reason goes for ffmpeg.  _ogg_malloc is:
    #define _ogg_malloc  malloc
    Just a normal malloc. Why wouldn't this work?

    My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.
