Problem with npviewer.bin
I am continuing to have a problem with certain "flash" videos not displaying with Firefox on FreeBSD-8.3. I have discovered numerous messages like this in the system log file. May 10 07:59:04 scorpio kernel: linux: pid 96942 (npviewer.bin): syscall pipe2 not implemented I have also discovered: npviewer.bin.core files in my HOME directory. Is there something that I can do to correct this problem? -- Carmel ✌ carmel...@hotmail.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

But if it's blocked, it doesn't get run, and if it doesn't run, it doesn't consume 100% of your cpu. I find it's usually advertisements anyway. If you really need to watch a youtube, you click the noscript icon and unblock it, then when you're done, you execute killall npviewer.bin. That's the best solution I've found yet, and it bites, just like flash bites, and gnash bites, all in their own extra special way.

Re: Flash sometimes freezes firefox, also many npviewer.bin processes left running around
No, the addon called "NoScript" is used to block JavaScript, Flash and co. But here the problem is the npviewer and/or the Flash plugin that is/are buggy. If you want to see a video on Youtube for example, you must allow JavaScript and Flash for Youtube in "NoScript". Otherwise you can't see the video. I use this addon in Firefox 3.6 to block unwanted scripts but when I use Flash I got the same problem. --- En date de : Mar 23.3.10, Steve Franks a écrit : > De: Steve Franks > Objet: Re: Flash sometimes freezes firefox, also many npviewer.bin processes > left running around > À: y...@rawbw.com > Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Date: Mardi 23 mars 2010, 0h41 > /usr/ports/www/xpi-noscript is > another option, not without caveats... > > Steve > > > On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 6:47 PM, Yuri > wrote: > > Sometimes after some flash object is displayed firefox > gets frozen for many > > few seconds,maybe ~20sec. > > Do you see the same?

There was a workaround for this issue published by DutchDaemon on forums.freebsd.org. I'm too lazy today to seek for that thread, sorry :) What he suggested is a simple cronjob script intended to constantly check process list and kill any single remaining proccess of npviewer.bin It works, but you should check every minute or so. -- Best regards, Jeff | "Nobody wants to say how this works. | | Maybe nobody knows ..." | | Xorg.conf(5)| ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

npviewer.bin
Hello, For a while I'm facing this Issue: Firefox seems to hang, and when I look with the command TOP is see npviewer.bin a few times. My processor makes a lot of noise, and after : pkill npviewer.bin, it stops for a while. Laterly I notice the return of npviewer.bin again, so the pkill is not even working anymore. Hopefully there is a better salutation then pkill ??
