Question

i686
extra/flashplugin 11.2.202.297-1
crashes with Opera, Chromium and Firefox almost every time on Youtube since an update in the last two days.

Answer 1

I was with similar problem (i have a FX5200 / NV34), and all time than mesa get update stop my flash and my mplayer like i have reported here:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36004
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=166269
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36712
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64582
The problem is, mesa and/or nouveau-dri don´t detect my videocard correctly and/or not consider NV34 can´t handle vdpau driver, and try force use vdpau on it. It is a bug in mesa or nouveau-dri i think.
This problem occur only using xf86-video-nouveau, because nvidia proprietary detect videocard vdpau correctly (mesa/nouveau don´t).
So, my solution was modify mesa PKGBUILD removing vdpau from the package and recompiling it.
In my modification, using abs i compile with makepkg -sr, then i install mesa-9.2.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz and nouveau-dri-9.2.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz.
Optionally you can install mesa-libgl-9.2.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz too. I am. Because all is compiled in same place.
Actually i don´t have more problems. My problem is solved!
Sorry for my bad english, i don´t speak english very well.
