Re: Gnome 3/ Xorg crashes randomly if flash on accessed website

I still have crashes, but mine are due to librecord, which is accessed by workrave. :S

Re: Gnome 3/ Xorg crashes randomly if flash on accessed website

I had a problem watching flash videos on youtube. I could watch a vid, then when i attempted to leave the page, it would freeze my system. I could move the mouse, but that was it. Could not even get into a tty. I uninstalled the flash prerelease from aur, and installed flashplugin from extra and the problem went away.

I rolled back the change I did previously on this thred to check what @triplesquarednine wrote so I tested my system for around 2 hours and had no crashes at all... so maybe it got fixed for some us at some update of gnome3.2.... I have flashpugin from extra

hey, i'm glad my comment helped. I too am wondering if it was the gnome-update. Everyone kept saying it was nvidia or porbably adobe's issue. but i swear, after the gnome 3.2 update, it seemd to stop crashing.

I have the latest flash, not sure if it is the same in [extra] . I got mine from AUR (latest version).

Re: Gnome 3/ Xorg crashes randomly if flash on accessed website

I have the same crashes with xf86-video-intel-git (previously i had xf86-video-intel with the same results). The crash occurs when i load a web page with flash content on it.

My kernel is 3.1.0-1-ARCH

One quiestion i have is:

Is it necessary to load manually any module in mkinitcpio.conf and run mkinitcpio -p linux???

Nevermind I answered myself to that matter (for anyone who want to know I loaded that modules and I have native resolution during oot.... but for the other matter the crash still persist, and aparently it's not related to KMS settings of X server.

Re: Gnome 3/ Xorg crashes randomly if flash on accessed website

Well... Again, random crashes... only with flash. Seems related with exclusively with flash: I got this on dmesg:

[  268.889536] plugin-containe[2736]: segfault at 7f2afc9a70f8 ip 00007f2afdd5d18f sp 00007f2aed9bfbc0 error 4 in libflashplayer.so[7f2afd7f3000+111f000]
[  277.605855] gnome-shell[3414]: segfault at 7fda1d5fd708 ip 00007fda1d2e3859 sp 00007fd9f27e8ed0 error 7 in libc-2.14.1.so[7fda1d26f000+17e000]

The first one points to libflashplayer the second to libc.

Btw: I have some of the workarounds from phoronix regarding power management on pcie_aspm activated, maybe there is the problem.

Re: Gnome 3/ Xorg crashes randomly if flash on accessed website

The stacktraces indicating something with librecord.so should have been solved with xorg-server that is in testing now.

I've changed my grub line from

 ... pcie_aspm=force i915.semaphores=1 

to:

 ... pcie_aspm=compat 

And crashes "seem" to be gone, at least they are not so frequent

Re: Gnome 3/ Xorg crashes randomly if flash on accessed website

This problem suddenly started recently for me, on ATI proprietary drivers, especially (until now, only) when loading a new page with the latest blip player on it. After looking around for a while I found this fix for NVidea drivers:

Simply add or uncomment

EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1

in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and you should be alright. It seems to have fixed it for my ATI drivers as well! Give it a shot.

Apparently it was just a fluke. No idea why it worked for that little while though. Do tell when anyone has a solution.

Edit: And now sure-fire sites to log me out again are running fine again. I really have no idea what is going on. This is the most random bug I've ever seen.
