OpenJDK Client VM (build 16.0-b13, mixed mode, sharing)
The program 'epiphany' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 17439 error_code 2 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Try to remove: flashplugin-mozilla
It helped for me.

I don't have flashplugin-mozilla, but removing adobe-flashplugin helped.
However, for many people this is not a good solution, because they need flash.
But for me its ok, I can use chrome when I need flash.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

[Jim Bauwens (jimbauwens)]

This isn't a issue anymore in Natty Narwhal. The content of the page has changed though, but similar pages don't trigger a crash anymore.

(No problem for the late response, better late than never :)
