Gruber description Binary package hint: lernid If a web page is brought up because a url in the chat (or entered in the Event->Open Url dialog) that contains flash, and if the adobe plugin is installed, lernid freezes. To reproduce be sure that the adobe plugin is installed, start lernid, Use Event->Open url to open http://youtube.com Uninstalling adobe flash avoids the freeze, but flash media, of course, isn't available. Installing lightspark allows chrome-browser to use flash, but not the browser in lernid, but this flash plugin doesn't seem to hang lernid.

In normal operation last week, lernid ran for a day full of sessions only to fail (presumably on this error) in the last 15 minutes. The problem is that the slides process uses Python threads to download slides files asynchronously, but adobe flash doesn't seem to be compatible with it. Slides also do not render, due to a poppler call problem.
