libflashsupport , such a weird file.

basically when ever im watching a flash video file like on youtube, firefox just disappears then i have to restart firefox 3.

but when i uninstall libflashsupport, flash cant kill firefox8), i can watch as many videos as i like without error BUT WITH NO SOUND:?:. the exact same thing happens with opera and with firefox 2.

Try Flash 10 Beta. It don't need any fixes for sound.

Uninstall everything Flash.

Download Flash 10 Beta: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

sudo sh flashplayer-installer

Say yes to install to your browser directories.

/usr/lib/firefox
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0
/usr/lib/opera

for anyone wanting to know heres how i did it

1. uninstall all things flash from synaptic, this includes all the "lib" files
2.download flash 10 tarball to your Desktop
3. right click "extract here" on the tarball and a folder will be created
4. change directory to inside that folder
cd /home/[username]/Desktop
cd install_flash_player_10_linux
5. copy and paste this
sudo sh flashplayer-installer
then hit [enter] a bunch of times
6.it will ask you where you want to install it , copy and paste this
/usr/lib/firefox
[I]they type [y] for yes ,type [y] again to install somewhere else
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0
[I]they type [y] for yes ,type [y] again to install somewhere else
/usr/lib/opera [and here]
they type [y] for yes ,type [n] to finish

7.
then copy and paste this
sudo apt-get install libflashsupport

finish

i went to youtube tabbed 30 videos simultaneously and there was no crash :twisted:.

That sounds like a problem with something fighting over the audio driver, not a Flash problem. Flash 10 Beta should work well. The prosessor load is also going down a lot using the beta.

[radical3]

so what do you suppopse i should do?

Super Bump
flash still crashing need help

[radical3]

dont bother i disabled the onboard soundcard from the bios [by pushing del at startup and disabling it from integrated peripherals]

works perfect no crash and i removed flash 10 beta and reinstalled flash 9


whatever you do do not install libflashsupport
