	Crossover plugin is great. Although, I emerged gplflash recently, and
it is working gracefuly.

[gentoo-dev] Mozilla 1.0.1 maybe serious problem!!

[Tony Clark]

I've just emerged 1.0.1 of mozilla after unmerging 1.0.0.  everytime time I go 
to www.theinquirer.net mozilla crashes.  I've removed my .mozilla directory 
and rebuilt it a couple of times.  The site is ok in knoqueror and was ok 
earlier today with mozilla.  My installed is very clean as I did a freash one 
on the weekend.

Any ideas?

I've narrowed things down a little...well a lot i guess, unmerge 
netscape-flash and Mozilla doesn't crash, emerge it back in and it crashes 
again on the same site.

Yea, that's what I thought it would be.  Precompiled plugins such as
flash or java have bad problems (read crashing) when they are compiled
with gcc 2.x and then run on a gcc 3.x system.  I can't wait until this
is all fixed though :) 

A solution that works for me is to use the codeweavers crossover plugin
program, which will let you run the windows version of flash on linux in
konq, mozilla, and netscape.  Hit www.codeweavers.com for details.  It's
only something like $25, and it'll make you feel good to support a linux
company :)

a quick guess, you now use gcc 3.x ??  gcc 3.x causes flash to crash
with moz/netscape due to the brokenness of flash.

I am lucky then... I never had a problem with flash, either when I was using
gentoo 1.2, 1.3b and now 1.4_rc1.

 
*  net-www/netscape-flash
      Latest version available: 5.0.50
      Latest version installed: 5.0.50
      Homepage: http://www.macromedia.com
      Description: Macromedia Shockwave Flash Player

The only plugin that doesn't work for me is java, except when building from
source of course. But I am talking of mozilla 1.0 (-r3) there.

So mozilla 1.0-r3+netscape-flash 5.0.50 seem rock solid to me... 

I remember from testing that mozilla 1.1 wasn't so stable... but I have no
idea if the crashes I encountered came from flash...

Didn't test mozilla 1.0.1 for the moment.

Wierd... works fine under mozilla, but crashes with a "relocation" error
when I access flash.com from galeon 1.2.6.  /me goes to rebuild galeon
to see if that's the problem.

Thats the same kind of error I am getting from mozilla.  A bit of strace

My guess is you still have the gcc2.95.3 libs installed even after you
upgraded. The people bellow this node in the thread don't.

That makes me feel a little better knowing I am not alone.  GCC2 has been no 
where near this drive.  I fdisked it and mke2fs on the weekend prior to 
installing 1.4-rc1.  What I get is
tony@power flash-0.4.10 $ /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library 
/opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so: undefined

Okay, so what we have here is one fresh 1.4_rc1 install with
netscape-flash and mozilla working "solid" and another fresh 1.4_rc1
install with netscape-flash and mozilla broken?

I'm a little confused I must admit.  I had flash working with moz1.0.0  I 
upgraded to moz1.0.1 and flash broke.  I am not sure if was gplflash or 
macromedia working with moz1.0.0.  Neither works with moz1.0.1.  Macromedia 
causes moz to crash and burn where as gplflash crashes.  I'm not sure if this 
means anything but macromedia does work with konqueror.

There is a patch in mozilla-1.0-r3.ebuild:

       if [ "${ARCH}" = "x86" ] ; then
        patch -p0 < ${FILESDIR}/${P}-abi-compat-wrappers.patch
        fi

wich is missing from 1.0.1 ebuild. If I copy this line into 1.0.1 and
compile, then flash works again.

I didn't say a word about mozilla 1.0.1 btw... I only wrote that
1.0-r3+macromedia had no issue on my system. And it did work for you too it
seems... 

Perhaps didn't you unmerge properly the old mozilla ? Or perhaps is there
really an issue with mozilla 1.0.1 and flash plugin. That I can't say,
having not tested it.

I'm confused too now :-)  I have 1.4beta, gcc-3.2, moz-1.1 (compiled 
with gcc-2.95.3 as per Paul de Vrieze's bugzilla #9016).  gplflash 
didn't segfault, built OK but moz, konqui etc. couldn't see it so I got 
rid of it.  netscape-flash (Macromedia) works well in moz-1.1 but not 
in konqueror.  However, if I try to open a *.swf file from the file 
menu on moz, nothing happens.  That worked on my 1.2 box - useful for 
saving flash files from madblast.com

hm, quick question:
does either of you have USE="gtk2" enabled?   might be an interface
problem with mozilla gtk2 mode..

Re: [gentoo-dev] Mozilla 1.0.1 maybe serious problem!!

[David Shepard]

Add me to the list of people who had a working Mozilla before upgrading.
Mozilla has worked fine for many weeks, with the only caveat being
incompatibility with the various JREs. Now, I can't even have ten tabs
open without Mozilla crashing. ;-) I think the solution for me is to
just "downgrade" back to the stable Mozilla, once I figure out how to do
that... Any suggestions?

Re: [gentoo-dev] Mozilla 1.0.1 and flash

[Tony Clark]

Tried your thing below but it didn't help.  compiles ok and doesn't seem to 
hurt anything.  I also tried

There is a patch in mozilla-1.0-r3.ebuild:

       if [ "${ARCH}" = "x86" ] ; then
        patch -p0 < ${FILESDIR}/${P}-abi-compat-wrappers.patch
        fi

and that didn't help either. 

My USE flags are
 USE="X -gtk2 -gtk gnome -alsa -esd"

I don't know why I put in "gnome" but I have built it before without that 
anyway.

What I have established is macromedia flash works with Mozilla 1.0.  gplflash 
works with neither and bombs out on loading with this.

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library 
/opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so [/opt/netscape/plugins/npflash.so: undefined 
symbol: __dso_handle]

Macromedia flash works with konq.

Mozilla 1.0.1 crashes with macromedia flash when loading flash files.

I am never going to do emerge -u world ever again...promise :)

Re: [gentoo-dev] Mozilla 1.0.1 maybe serious problem!!

[Andreas Kotowicz]

Just wanted to add my experience on this topic:

netscape-flash runs without any problems on a fresh gentoo 1.4-rc1
install as long as there's no java installed. recently I compiled java
from scratch and webpages having flash code made mozilla crash. I first
thought that it was an java issue, but removing the flash plugin made
the website load ok (except for ne flash animations). so I installed
flash again and removed java. flash works. btw: I hope you didn't get
the impression that my java is broken. it works just fine, I didn't have
a single applet crashing yet.


maybe this helps
