Hello.
Is anyone else having crashes with Flash v11 plugin not working in SeaMonkey v2.0.14 and Iceweasel/Firefox v7.0.1 in Linux/Debian? Iceweasel/Firefox says the plugin is crashing, but not the browser. In SeaMonkey, it crashes with it and I have to kill its processes. I had to downgrade back to old Flash v10. No problems with it. It seems like v11 is buggy for me.
Thank you in advance.

Thanks. I just found out that there is a bug in NVIDIA's latest driver for Linux users according to http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=167698 ... It crashes Flash v11, not not v10. NVIDIA already made a bug report on it. Hopefully, they can and will fix it on their side. For now, use the older NVIDIA driver or use Flash v10 (have to use v10 since older NVIDIA drivers have a crazy bug with X.org v1.1 in Debian -- known issue).

You mean computers can be a bit hairy. I wonder why does v11 crash and not v10. Is there something new in v11 that requires something from the latest NVIDIA drivers? Accerelation improvements or something?

apologies, i was out yesterday...
nothing specific for linux. in fact, hardware acceleration has been disabled and will fall back to software from what i am told. i'm thinking you should not even crash if this is the case.
which graphics card and Nvidia driver version do you have currently?

EVGA GeForce 8800 GT (512 MB; PCIe) and using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.03.run NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA's web site. Also, more people posted in that http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=2495082 forum thread about Flash v11 crashes.

Thanks. You said external. Is this accessible from the public? If so, then where?

it's a catch 22. i entered it externally as a crasher. unfortunately, all labeled crashers are not viewable to the public.

Any updates on this? v11.1 with with NVIDIA driver v290.03 still crashes. I guess it is still a NVIDIA driver bug. 😮
