Flash plyaer crashes system

[Riton]

Any webpage playing a flash video crashes the whole system. The only thing to make things work is rebooting the system.

Are you playing the video in Google Chrome? What's your graphics card?

[Riton (ritonz)]

Yes I this crash happened while using Google Chrome. I don't necessarily need to play the flash video, the mere presence of a flash video on a webpage can cause the crash sometimes.
e.g. I got a crash once while I visited http://blog.elementary.io/ my system crashed because of a flash video present there (which I didn't even play).

My graphics card is a basic one. Its a Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller.
Hope this helps solve the problem. Thanks.

Try oibaf repository with latest drivers. Seems like bug in Kernel, DDX or Mesa.

Also try do not use flash (if possible).. ;-)

Sounds like an X/driver problem. I'm afraid there isn't much that elementary OS itself can do regarding driver development.

According to [1] there were a bunch of improvements pushed for GM965 and others.
