Description Mads Kiilerich 2008-10-15 12:48:04 UTC

Description of problem:

Flash sucks, but we all (?) need and love nspluginwrapper for making it suck less.

With the lastest update of flash-plugin from adobe yum repo it doesn't work as good as before.

When starting firefox in foreground it prints out stdout:

And firefox seems to crash more often.

Like it or not, if this is a general problem then I think this is a f10 blocker :-(

Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2008-10-22 10:52:34 UTC

please check the updated rawhide package (1.1.2-3)

Comment 2 Christopher D. Stover 2008-10-23 16:31:43 UTC

Did the new version fix your problem Mads?

Comment 3 Mads Kiilerich 2008-10-23 16:34:17 UTC

I am testing right now, and yes, it seems to work just fine. Thanks! 

I am running without libflashsupport as recommended by wwoods. I don't know if that makes the test more or less trustworthy ...

Closing.

Comment 4 Mads Kiilerich 2008-10-23 16:47:17 UTC

By the way, I notice that when playing from myspace then I get something like

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 6624 mk        20   0  375m 239m  22m S 22.5 11.8   5:49.66 firefox
 7123 mk        20   0  241m  48m  12m R 15.9  2.4   1:37.73 npviewer.bin
 6477 mk         9 -11  160m 6308 5136 S  3.6  0.3   0:31.32 pulseaudio

I would expect flash to run in npviewer.bin, and it doesn't seem reasonable that firefox uses that much cpu doing nothing.

Is that worth following up on?
