I can confirm the same errors 
opera-9.24-0.1
flash-player-9.0.48.0-16
gtk2-2.12.0-5.2
glib-1.2.10-672

After 5 min. of work I have the following

I'll take a closer look. Adding flash maintainer to CC. 

Adobe has released a new version of flash player which should work with opera.
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux
You can check it out. 

Opera and flash player are closed source software, so it's really hard to do anything for it. 

Unfortunately latest flash version doesn't work at all with stable release of Opera, which currently is opera-9.24-0.1. I've tested with youtube and I was only able to see frame window of movie player without any content. Same with flash ads and so on. 
But, there is hope, at least I think so. Opera released beta version (9.50b) which partialy works with Flash-9.0-r115. I've said partialy, because flash has na nasty habbit to randomly crash webbrowser. 

Someone suggested that problems with Flash and Opera is somehow related to Glib and GTK, furthermore applying patch resolves all headaches.

Thank you for these information. 
I was also trying latest beta version of opera for 64 bit with latest flash but without success.

That sounds interesting. What do you think about it, gnome-maintainers?

The same problem here with flash-player-9.0.115.0-0.1.i586, so I downgraded it to flash-player-9.0.48.0-16.i586 and now it works. Well, I'm not sure if it works fine, but at least I'm able to see flash content on some web sites like YouTube and so on.

Cheers!

New version of opera 9.25 works with flash quite well on 32bit system. On 64bit system it doesn't work. What is your experience?

JP, what do you think about the patch?

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=215515#comment2352441

the patch is already in the package

In which distribution? Is it in any released one or only in Factory?

*** Bug 354941 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

10.3 packages with upper mentioned patch:
http://pack.suse.cz/sbrabec/bug336213/

Does it fix this problem?

New testing packages, which attempts to fix both bug 345835 and bug 336213:
http://pack.suse.cz/sbrabec/bug336213+345835/

I have installed gtk2 with patches for bug 345835 and bug 336213. The good news is that I don't see any abnormal behaviour in GNOME, and as always, the bad news is that Opera doesn't show flash content on x86. Tested on entirely new profile. Additionaly operapluginwrapper seems to work properly, and don't triggers bugbuddy to popup. Does anyone may confirm that? 

Ah.

Looking again at my patch regarding this bug, it is a NOP:

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=215515#comment2352441 says:
+  g_return_val_if_fail (display != NULL, NULL);

10.3 already contains there:
if (display == NULL) return NULL;

So adding this one line should not change (break or fix) anything.

Could you try to degrade flash player from 9.0.115.0 to 9.0.48.0? It might be the same threading issue as bug 350752. (In this case any gtk2 change might not help.)

We probably need an update of opera. It should be one line change somewhere deep in the opera code (init threads).

I can imagine following work-arounds:

Preloaded wrapper library on top of some functions (gtk_init), which will init threads.

Use nspluginwrapper even for x86.

Unfortunately that's the only solution of the problem.

I tried with 9.50 beta on my Factory installation and the new Flash
works just fine there, but I don't want to use Opera beta on my 10.3.

The latest Opera Beta works with latest flash plugin even on 64bit machines on 10.3. 
But it has some other bugs. Unfortunately, opera is not open source, so I can't do anything more with it. You can try the package from my home:lmich repo in Build service: http://software.opensuse.org/search

Unfortunately the suggested patches for gtk doesn't work.
The opera 9.27 which is in openSUSE 11 still doesn't work with the latest flash. 

The new opera 9.50 (final) works with latest flash. You can install it from Build Service home:lmich repository. Use http://software.opensuse.org/search .

There will be an security update of Opera to version 9.50 which works with the latest Flash plug-in also for older dists.
