Nouveau crashes occasionally when loading flash content

Hey everyone,
Still fairly new to the whole Arch Linux business. I've been having occasional issues with my computer crashing when I try to view flash (such as YouTube videos). It happens once in a while but it's annoying and happens sometimes when I'm in the middle of work. It usually happens when I loads up from the start. The screen just freezes, unresponsive to key commands, mouse movements, etc. Can't kill X. I have to hard restart/shutdown.
Journalctl gives the following errors (usually nonstop until I restart):

I have this installed currently:
nouveau-dri 10.1.0-4
xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.10-2
I'm running a Lenovo w530. I use Firefox.
Anyone know how I can resolve this issue or dig deeper? I reverted to nouveau after the nvidia drivers were acting up and crashing occasionally on flash. Now it seems like nouveau is doing the same thing. I'm worried about fubaring my system from so many hard resets, esp. since I have a SSD. Can't seem to find much on this error on the internets or the forums...

Try the 'nouveau.noaccel=1' kernel command line option, to see if that at least prevent the failure.
Or try the proprietary driver from Nvidia again.

Problems with loading flash content in firefox, chrome, and opera

Salutations. The past couple of days, I've been having trouble with loading flash content on many sites. In particular, many flash games on sites like facebook will not load for me. Sporadically on other sites, flash content will not load, either.
I have no trouble with flash in IE9, but when I try to load these same pages in opera, chrome, and firefox i receive a "This Adobe flash plugin has crashed" error. I do send a crash report each time I receive this error. I've uninstalled flash and reinstalled it several times and it still performs this error. Sometimes when i try to load certain flash games on Chrome a "the following plugin is unresponsive: shockwave flash. would you like to stop it?" error and this makes the whole browser unresponsive. I receive the same error in Opera.
I have the following browsers and flash versions:
Firefox: 6.0.2 with adobe flash 10.3.183.7
Chrome: 13.0.782.220 with adobe flash 10.3.183.7
Opera: 11.51 with adobe flash 10.3.183.7
As for my system, I have Windows Vista Home Premium with service pack 2.
Prior to upgrading to this new version of flash, everything worked fine in all of these browsers for me.
As an afterthought, I figured that I should mention that I'm running adobe flash 10.3.183.5 with IE9, which is the main difference between that one browser and the other three.

Thanks for the report. Odd that IE is fine, though maybe something broke between .5 and .7. Would you mind opening a new bug on this issue over at bugbase.adobe.com? Here's a post that describes the information we'll need and instructions for generating a crash log:

No Sound when viewing Flash content in Safari for Windows

Hopefully someone can help.
Just recently, I've been unable to get sound when viewing Flash content on the web.
I currently use Safari for Windows, when I use Internet Explorer on the same computer I can get sound. Just no sound when using Safari for Windows????
Please help, I like Safari for Windows much better than I.E. but I'm forced to use IE when I want to watch something with sound.
Thank you

Are you using Safari 3.1.2?
Try reinstalling the Flash plugin at: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html

Macbook Pro Late 2008 gets real hot when viewing Flash Content. Does anyone have a solution?

Macbook Pro Late 2008 gets hot, fans kick on at 6200 rpm, and CPU usage of about 65% when viewing Flash Content. I've been to the Adobe Forum, but saw no solution for this. Already unchecked Hardware Acceleration. I had motherboard replaced just a week ago, so that's not the issue. I hope someone can help.

MDhennin wrote:
Yes it was happening before the logicboard was replaced. I'm up to date with Flash and Software Updates too. Macbook can handle everything but Flash content. So I assume its related to some kind of incompatability. Not sure though. I have come across others who have the same issue.
Ok, dumb question on my part, but did any of those others find a solution? If not, what have they, and you, tried? If you don't mind, posting a link to content which causes this might be helpful (I don't watch a lot of Flash-based video, but I've never had an issue like that on my early 2008/less able MBP . . .).

Why do some radios do not work on the Apple TV as iTunes, there is no problem ...?

Checkerbox when loading flash

When loading flash in IE7, getting checkerbox where flash
item should be.

The problem is not on only one machine. It is on the terminal
server and several other computers. It looks like I am also having
problems with gifs.

Firefox consistently crashes when loading Flash sites

For a couple of reasons I decided to go ahead and install OSS a few days ago. On the first day, the install went smoothly and everything was working just as it should (I used the oss-linux-free PKGBUILD in AUR). Yesterday and today, however, I've started to get a reoccurring problem that is, to put it lightly, driving me nuts.
Firefox (or Epiphany, though I prefer the former) consistently crashes when opening up any site that uses Flash or Java. With the way the internet is going, this is a large chunk of websites—not being able to visit YouTube or the website for Enemy Territory: Quake wars, for instance, is driving me nuts.
Now, when I say "consistently" I don't mean each and every time. I've been able to get these sites to load a number of times, but in the last two days Firefox has crashed in probably 2/3-3/4 of the time when loading any site that has a Flash element. I've made sure that I have not wrongly assumed this has to do with my newly installed OSS by uninstalling, reinstalling the kernel and all ALSA packages, rebooting, and then surfing the web for a while to see if anything went wrong. It didn't.
So my question is this: why is Firefox crashing so often in the two days since I've installed OSS? What can be done to rectify this?
After some experimenting, it seems the problem is worst under the following conditions:
- Having several tabs open, though not necessarily several tabs with Flash
- Listening to music and THEN navigating to YouTube or something.
However, it's not specific to these circumstances. In fact, just before I decided to make this post I opened Firefox, went to a site with Flash on it (one tab), and it immediately shut down. I tried this three or four additional times and was met with the exact same results.
Other info
Firefox: Pre-compiled Mozilla i686 build, v. 2.0.0.11
OSS: OSS (GPL version) 4.0, build 1012
Operating System: Arch Linux 2.6.23-ARCH
I've also posted this here.

I have the same problem. I've never been able to identify when it started. Once firefox crashes, mpd, if it was playing, becomes unresponsive. The only way to get a flash site working again is to reboot my computer.
I uninstalled flash: I'm not going to put up with that kind of behaviour. Now I watch youtube videos on other people's computers --you know how they say "You've GOT to see this movie!". And if I really need to see that one specific video, there's youtube-dl.
Unfortunately gnash doesn't work on youtube for me.

Browser crash when printing flash content

I am posting this here because I scoured the web looking for an answer and did not find one.
OS: 10.4.11
Browser: Safari 4.1.2, Firefox 3.6.11
Problem:
Any time I try to print flash content, for example, games or printables from PBSkids.com, my browser would go to the spinning beach ball and crash. Issue affected Safari and Firefox.
Latest version of Flash was installed 10.1.x
Fix: Downgraded to Flash 9. Problem solved am once again able to print flash content such as the examples above.

HI Ernest,
If Safari is crashing, post a crash report so we can try and help.
If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash information.
Now copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply here. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

Loading Flash content using loadMedia??? Or else??? Has to be XHTML 1.0 Strict and WAG valid

I have a new project into which i have to insert SWF into an HTML page using other way that the standard Abobe way to do it.
I know about Flash Satay but i have 300s Flash files to insert and dont want to reopen each of them.
My HTML pages have to W3C comply and as you know, the <classic id> or <embed> tag isnt valid regarding XHTML 1.0 Strict.
Client, who insists that his media be accessible to EVERYBODY, suggested using
"javascript:loadMedia('flashContainer','flv/v01.flv', '', '', 'fra', '','','', 'false');"><img src="images/flashFr.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
where loadMedia is a function with these parameters

Do you know about that? Can you help? Do you know any other way to insert Flash content with respect to:
- Javascript on/off valid
- XHTML 1.0 Strict valid
- WAG valid.

I am VERY concerned with the fact that my pages are not being properly validated and displayed.
I have created two different sites using iWeb '08 and while I am satisfied with the ease of use, I am concerned that my sites are not being displayed correctly... in fact, the other day my friend who is a Mac whiz and who hosts my business website on his server... tried to visit the site that I created using iWeb '08 and had published to my .Mac account... it caused his browser to flat out crash! He said he hasn't seen anything like that in years!
Here is the site I have begun to build http://www.mcleanmonowheel.com
If you paste this url into http://validator.w3.org/ a slew of errors pop up.
Is this the norm with iWeb or have I done something wrong on my end???

Screen constantly flashes when loading flash site

Hi,
I have a sparadic problem, i have been told that occasionally
when the site is loaded the entire page will constantly flash until
refreshed. The problem is on both Mac and PC, and on Firefox, IE
and Safari, which leads me to believe there is a bug, or something
i am doing in the code. It has happened on 2 sites,
www.charlesward.com and www.djhdesign.com
If anyone else has had this problem please let me know if you
found a solution. If anyone is willing to help i can send you the
.FLA.
Thanks for any help,
Pat

Hi Path
It does it for me too, not an entire page by loaded images.
My guess is that your
preloader loop action has problem. After loading goes to
frame and comes back to the
loader frame. Perhaps no stop action on the frame where image
is ? There is for sure
a loop, you need to place stop action somewhere and all
should be ok. Beside that
nothing else seem to be making problems.

Sluggishness when viewing Flash contents

Im not sure when, but probably after I updated my Firefox
from v1.5 to 2.0, I experienced sluggishness whenever there's Flash
contents in websites.
I realised the quality is set to high by default. And that
caused the sluggishness. How to configure the quality setting so
that I can change it to Medium as default? Because whenever I
change manually by right clicking on the flash content as set it to
'medium', if i close the broswer and reopened (or even refresh the
page), the quality flash content is set to high again as default.
anyone can help me with this? Thanks

This isn't just an issue with FF2. I have experienced this
issue on both FF 1.0.5 and 1.5.
The more flash content, the worse FF responds.

Firefox crashes on pages with Flash content

MacOS 10.6.5 on a 2008 MacBook Pro
Firefox 3.6.13
See below for Flash Player version info
Well I just updated to a new version of Firefox (3.6.13) and I had Flash Player 10.1 installed. Every time I open any web site with Flash content, Firefox crashes. This happens with Yahoo Mail, CNN, New York Times, etc. So I disabled Flash temporarily, and my Yahoo Mail no longer crashed. Of course I can't watch any online videos now....
I tried uninstalling Flash Player 10.1 using the Adobe uninstaller, and then re-installing it. No go. I tried the beta 10.2... still crashed. Finally I found a version of Flash 9 for Mac on Adobe's web site, and that does indeed work. Of course it's an older version, but at least I can use Firefox. The bad news is that the plugin is used by Safari also.
Any ideas?

I tried something else for now, since I'm using Flash Player 9 on my main system hard drive at the moment....
I have a bootable 48GB SSD in my ExpressCard slot. I often use it since it's faster. It has the same configuration of Firefox 3.6.13 and FlashPlayer 10.1, but it seems to have no problems. I right clicked a Flash animation and the hardware acceleration in on. Now why would it work on my SSD drive, but not my main hard drive?

Cursor in Safari disappears when watching Flash Content

This problem persists since the last 3 versions of Safari - problem is: When you come over a site which displays Flash Content (for example www.flickr.com slideshows) after a short time the mouse cursor completely disappears - hovering over the menus seems to indicate, that you can click but since the cursor is not showing it's hard to identify, where you are. Workaround is to switch to another application, there the cursor is visible and you can quit the browser (Safari, Chrome ...)
The latest Flash Plugin is installed, i tried this on different browsers (Firefox, Chrome ...) - it's always the same problem.
I don't want to deinstall my Flash Plugin because there are a lot of sites which are not viewable without the Flash-Plugin - i've been reading lots of discussions here in the Apple Support Communities but there is no fix - the first entries were made about 2 years ago.
Maybe someone has found a fix now.
Thanx & Greetings from Austria

Hello Z:
There is a new flash release (10. something). If you have not done so, you might try that.

What do I need to know when developing Flash content on Windows 8?

Flash Player for Internet Explorer is now embedded in Windows 8 and works in both Desktop and Metro modes. Please see the following document for details and instructions on how to make your Flash content work seamlessly in Windows 8.
Developer guidance for websites with content for Adobe Flash Player in Windows 8
The Flash Player debugger for Windows 8 will be available for download on the Microsoft website a few weeks after Windows 8 is released to the public. This post will be updated with the download URL's as soon as they are made available.

Your driver should work with later versions, but you will need to address signing the driver for those later versions. In particular Windows 10 is going to require a different signing model. I know of no guide for this.

Ff crashes on all systems, when loading much content. no matter what addons or what system constellation.

i really tried all on very different computers. ff keeps crashing while loading much image content, either into one page or into tabs. it 99% seems like bad memory handling.
