Firefox crash when Flashplayer goes fullscreen

Tuttle · 08-01-2009, 11:02 PM

Hi all, Firefox crashes when I try to go fullscreen with any flash video.

I am using the latest Adobe Flashplayer package from slacky.

Seamonkey doesn't crash under the same conditions which makes me think this is a firefox problem.

I have tried this with a new test user account as well, same result.

I am running Slack 12.2 and it's up to date.

Here is the backtrace if it's of any use:

Code:

Just found a cure here just after I posted...

add export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 to a firefox startup script

volkerdi · 08-02-2009, 02:53 PM

Two things --

Running compiz?
And, it looks like the nVidia blob is installed there, correct?

I wonder if there's symbol overlap between nVidia's libGL and some other library that ends up loaded first. I imagine that has to be the case if preloading libGL helps.

I can't see any negative effect from this, and I think it's "in bounds" as far as the restriction against making changes to Firefox. After all, the same fix could be made by loading libGL all the time for the whole system in /etc/ld.so.preload.

I know that some version of adobe flash player crashes in fullscreen if you have the "Enable hardware acceleration" checked, it's a known bug.
Does it work if you uncheck it?
Or is it only the preload stuff that works?

Hi Pat! no, compiz was not active. I haven't made this global, I just made a short script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1
firefox
exit

and run that instead.
Making things global would be best but I like vanilla as much as possible... I forget all the changes I make otherwise!

Hi Nille, yes you are right, if I uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration" then fullscreen works (without the LD_PRELOAD workaround).
