Description Reto Zingg 2010-06-19 09:40:19 UTC
Description of problem:

Browsing web sites with flash causes a crash of X11 and a new login is needed.

Jun 19 12:13:06 laptop kernel: npviewer.bin[17001]: segfault at b74e9054 ip 0119d033 sp bfae2f40 error 4 in libflashplayer.so[dfe000+b04000]


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-3.6.3-4
flash-plugin-10.1.53.64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. add adobe-linux-i386.repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/
2. install the flash plugin: yum install flash-plugin
3. set it up as root: /usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup
4. as user (not root), browse any flash website, for me http://opendesktop.org/ leads to a crash within a few minutes.
  
Actual results:
crash with the following entry in /var/log/messages:

Jun 19 12:13:06 laptop kernel: npviewer.bin[17001]: segfault at b74e9054 ip 0119d033 sp bfae2f40 error 4 in libflashplayer.so[dfe000+b04000]

Expected results:

I don't have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

please see attachments.

I just realized that I do also the following after I logged in:

xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto
xrandr --output LVDS --off

since the LID-Switch is broken there is no way the laptop would know if it's open or not, I do it by hand.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2011-06-02 10:17:11 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '13'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 9 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 18:34:23 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
