I agree.  Firefox is at best useless with these problems.  If you're
running a web-based admin app when Firefox crashes, you could even do
enough damage to your system to require a complete reinstall of linux,
or at least make it very difficult to fix.  To make things worse, Beryl
requires both ARGB_Visuals and Composite to function proberly, and with
Edgy and the new nVidia drivers making Beryl much easier to install, the
number of people running it is growing very rapidly, making these
workarounds completely unacceptable.  This needs to be fixed, and
yesterday if not sooner.  Another problem that seems related (at least
on my system) is that Firefox sometimes slows to a crawl, grabs almost
100% of _both_ CPU core's cycles, and then freezes entirely on the next
navigation (or exit) attempt, after contacting the site I'm navigating
to but before starting to redraw the screen, and with no crash report
generated.  The only way to get Firefox back when this happens is to
force-quit the active window and kill every process containing the
string "firefox" in it's name with Gnome System Monitor.  BTW, this is
my second attempt at posting, as Firefox crashed during my first.  I'm
starting to feel like I'm back in M$ Windoze :(

I would simply remove all Flash support, but I use a number of sites
that do not function without it, including, it seems, my bank's online
banking services.  I don't think very many other people would want to
remove Flash, either.

Here's the crash report (WARNING: Full crash report - 16+ MB):

I apologize for the delay in replying.  Unfortunately, due to upgrades
and the start of classes next week, I have not been able to reproduce
this error and will most likely not have time to reinstall and test
Gutsy until well after it's production release :(

workarounds completely unacceptable.  This needs to be fixed, and
yesterday if not sooner.  Another problem that seems related (at least
on my system) is that Firefox sometimes slows to a crawl, grabs almost
100% of _both_ CPU core's cycles, and then freezes entirely on the next
navigation (or exit) attempt, after contacting the site I'm navigating

I would simply remove all Flash support, but I use a number of sites

I apologize for the delay in replying.  Unfortunately, due to upgrades
and the start of classes next week, I have not been able to reproduce
this error and will most likely not have time to reinstall and test
Gutsy until well after it's production release :(

[Bug 14911] Re: Flash plugin problem with ARGB visuals causes crash

2006-12-11 Thread John Stevens
Stats:
Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 / Beryl
Firefox 2.0
Xorg set to 24bit Color (no other color depths defined in xorg.conf)
AMD 64 X2 4800+
4 GB Dual Channel RAM
107 GB Ubuntu Partiton (7.04GB used)
EVGA GeForce 7950 GT KO 512 MB GDDR3 (with nVidia's most recent _STABLE_ 
drivers)

I agree.  Firefox is at best useless with these problems.  If you're
running a web-based admin app when Firefox crashes, you could even do
enough damage to your system to require a complete reinstall of linux,
or at least make it very difficult to fix.  To make things worse, Beryl
requires both ARGB_Visuals and Composite to function proberly, and with
Edgy and the new nVidia drivers making Beryl much easier to install, the
number of people running it is growing very rapidly, making these
workarounds completely unacceptable.  This needs to be fixed, and
yesterday if not sooner.  Another problem that seems related (at least
on my system) is that Firefox sometimes slows to a crawl, grabs almost
100% of _both_ CPU core's cycles, and then freezes entirely on the next
navigation (or exit) attempt, after contacting the site I'm navigating
to but before starting to redraw the screen, and with no crash report
generated.  The only way to get Firefox back when this happens is to
force-quit the active window and kill every process containing the
string "firefox" in it's name with Gnome System Monitor.  BTW, this is
my second attempt at posting, as Firefox crashed during my first.  I'm
starting to feel like I'm back in M$ Windoze :(

I would simply remove all Flash support, but I use a number of sites
that do not function without it, including, it seems, my bank's online
banking services.  I don't think very many other people would want to
remove Flash, either.

Here's the crash report (WARNING: Full crash report - 16+ MB):

starting to feel like I'm back in M$ Windoze :(

I would simply remove all Flash support, but I use a number of sites
that do not function without it, including, it seems, my bank's online
banking services.  I don't think very many other people would want to
remove Flash, either.

Here's the crash report (WARNING: Full crash report - 16+ MB):
