[Solved] Flashplugin crashes with a segfault from libvdpau

straykat · 2013-07-05 03:38:36

Flashplugin is crashing in firefox-kde-opensuse & rekonq.

In dmesg is:

[  632.725644] plugin-containe[1318]: segfault at e0000009c ip 00007f52d83581a9 sp 00007fff16f29cd0 error 4 in libvdpau_nouveau.so.1.0.

So far I have:
Uninstalled & rebuilt firefox-kde-opensuse,
Uninstalled flashplugin, removed it's .files from home & reinstalled, &
Reinstalled libvdpau.

My system is a quad core AMD using x64 Arch with a Nvidia 9800GT using nouveau.

Maybe you have the same problem as the one discussed in this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=166127

So far the solution I prefer is to downgrade libvdpau (0.6-2 => 0.6-1).

flash plugin is crashing since yesterday in chromium.
I made a check and it's the same in firefox !! wtf !

it's crashing almost every time in chromium or if it's not crashing as soon the video starts, it crashes later.

Downgrading to libvdpau-0.6-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz worked for me but is not really a solution.

There is a bug report on this: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36004.

Hopefully this will find a solution.

You can try the gnash plugin, open source flash. Not all flash sites work, but youtube does, so if you're only using it for youtube I can remmond gnash (which is not as buggy or riddled with security flaws as Flash anyway).

I'm still on 0.6-1

~ $ pacman -Qi libvdpau
Name           : libvdpau
Version        : 0.6-1
Description    : Nvidia VDPAU library
Architecture   : x86_64

Almost nobody works on flashplugin for linux.They fixing only security issues. In AUR you can find alternative plugin called pepper-flash from google-chrome it works in chromium. Or use google-chrome instead.

I'm going to merge this with the other thread @jasonwryan linked to.
