nspluginviewer crahes on 64bit after update
Last modified: 2007-12-22 13:27:56 UTC
After installation of "flash-player-9.0.115.0-0.1" last night, Update ID: 4855, I cannot watch any flahs plugins in KDE browser konqueror anymore. I see an empty frame only, and randomly I get the KDE Crash Handler popup: nspluginviewer died with SIGSEGV (11). The backtrace is empty, only one symbol with random characters visible. To reproduce open: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Yl5CcL51Oc I'm running openSUSE 10.3 on a 64bit machine (AMD64). I notice that this happens NOT in firefox, and NOT in seascape (mozilla). I think this crash is security related: therefore added security team.
http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3162 Basically you need the old version if you want flash to work properly in konqueror, but the new version has security fixes. Blame Adobe.
Known problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 348088 ***
