every time I am playing flash video in google chrome or firefox, flash crashes. This happens on youtube and on any other flash video websites.
I am using ubuntu 12.04 on a Thinkpad T61 with NVIDIA Quadro 140NVS and latest drivers installed.

Is your 12.04 32-bit ot 64-bit? Did you install Flash as part of the "restricted extras"?
my problem was:
there is a bug in flash which is causing all youtube videos to be blue. this appears only if you have nvidia card. following this quick fix:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/11712...o-appears-blue
I could solve the colour problem. but afterwards the flash player started crashing.
my solution:
I opened this file /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
and deleted the first line from there so the only thing left is this entry:
OverrideGPUValidation=true
now my flash player is not crashing any more.

try this:
and then install flash player through firefox extension Flash Aid , using wizard mode and selecting only "override GPU validation".Code:sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-installer

Had plenty of crashing of Flash-plugin, some sites were completely unusable.
This article helped me out - now my mms.cfg says:
"
EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=0
OverrideGPUValidation=true
"
And flash works just nicely.
I have 12.04 with Flash from extras and AMD AM2 4400+ cpu (so it is not lightning-fast) and NVidia display adapter with proprietary drivers.
The lack of acceleration seems to have some impact - though - on fullscreen SD material the CPU consumption is increased with this setup (85% of a single core taken by the browser/plugin).
Still - there is enough CPU to run it smoothly and the crashing is gone, so this -to me- is resolved.
Yes - does not crash but there is smurf invasion on Youtube. Got that resolved with the help of this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1974037.
Now I think this should be ok.
