[SOLVED] Problem with flash, firefox and probably NVIDIA

Hello
Since some time I experience a lot of problems with the flashplugin in firefox. It crashes more often than usual, leaving even my X unusable, since fonts get smeared or pictures of the last flash video are displayed in the terminal emulator.

I noticed that there was a upgrade of the fftw with the following output:

 upgraded fftw (3.2.2-1 -> 3.2.2-2)
 >> 
 >> If you have an NVIDIA card that supports libvdpau or Broadcom Crystal HD chips,
 >> uncomment EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 from /etc/adobe/mms.cfg.

Since I use a NVIDIA card with the nvidia driver, I tried to uncomment it, but nothing changed. Output from lspci:

 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600M GT] (rev a1)

The error log of firefox looks like that:

OpenOffice path before fixup is '/usr/lib/openoffice.org3'
OpenOffice path is '/usr/lib/openoffice.org3'

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with flash, firefox and probably NVIDIA

Did a full system upgrade to kernel 2.6.37.1-1, latest NVIDIA-Driver 260.19.36 ...
The weird error in firefox still exists, but there is no flash in my urxvt-background anymore. wink Don't know, if the error in firefox was there before I noticed the flash-error.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with flash, firefox and probably NVIDIA

I am not at home right now, I'll return on Sunday evening and report, if upgrading or downgrading helps anything.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with flash, firefox and probably NVIDIA

Did you install the flash plugin from within firefox itself or from the multilib repo?

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with flash, firefox and probably NVIDIA

Also try to install nvidia-beta driver from aur. This helped me.

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with flash, firefox and probably NVIDIA

I now made a full system upgrade and I installed the nvidia-beta drivers from the aur. But it did not help.

The flashplugin is from the normal repos.

My currently installed versions are:
falshplugin: 10.2.152.27-2
firefox:   3.6.13-1
nvidia-beta: 270.29-1

Re: [SOLVED] Problem with flash, firefox and probably NVIDIA

I was also curious about that configuration option.  One question I have is which feature sets are supported exactly?  Not all VDPAU implementations are the same.  For example I have a later model 8400 GS which supports feature set B.  I think your model may only support feature set A unless I am mistaken.

I came across these which may be of some interest:

http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-6079


Edit: Actually upon closer examination it looks like it usually is working for me and I am being told it is accelerated for most videos.

System info:

nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 8400 GS] (rev a1)
extra/nvidia 260.19.36-2
extra/flashplugin 10.2.152.27-2 [installed]
Firefox 4.0 B11

This helped. It seems now fairly stable.
