Hello all, It looks like recent (>10.1) Flash versions can't work with any QtWebKit browser including the webkit plugin in Snowglobe 1.x and Viewer 2 on Linux. This is because those versions of Flash don't initialize gtk properly (Adobe assuming that the browser is gtk based, i.e. Firefox.)
This results in the crash of the SLPlugin process when trying to show the login page, or any other web page (though some of the pages sometimes get half-rendered). There is a fix for this in upstream QtWebKit, but this would require rebuilding the prebuilt llqtwebkit packages. Until then, Linux users who are trying to stay safe have a problem, because Flash 10.0 is not getting security updates on Linux anymore, apparently (and the chances of Adobe fixing this are close to zero.) So I think we need to solve this as quickly as possible. Here are the relevant bugs: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/SNOW-548 https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40567 This is what Flash spits out on stdout before crashing: (process:2096): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.24.0/gobject/gtype.c:2706: You forgot to call g_type_init() (process:2096): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed (process:2096): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_new: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed -- Thickbrick _______________________________________________ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
