npviewer.bin crashed with SIGSEGV

[laga]

LATEST VERSION TESTED:
nspluginwrapper 0.9.91.5-1ubuntu1

Binary package hint: nspluginwrapper

Hum, I can't add much information here. I got an apport window telling me that npviewer.bin segfaulted. It didn't take firefox with it so I didn't even notice first. There was a youtube video playing in the background,

As there are so many occurrences (duplicates), i think this bug is confirmed.

[Stas Sușcov (sushkov)]

npviewer.bin related...
After updating to the adobe's non-free flash plugin... Several time I
had the following situation. I could not close a tab (it just freeze
my FF) until I kill the npviewer.bin process....

It directly affects the productivity of ff!!! Negatively!

[gururise (gururise)]

I can confirm this bug. I am running 7.10 on AMD64 platform. Most of the crashes seemed to occur after upgrading to the latest flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.115.0

Firefox will usually not crash; however, npviewer.bin process will crash and consume 100% cpu on about 50% of flash websites.

This bug makes flash all but unusable on 64-bit Ubuntu platform.

[Austin Lund (austin-lund)]

This one is hard to reproduce I find. Does anyone have a website which reliably reproduces this?

If libflashplayer.so or npviewer.bin has a bug we will be reliant on the friendly people who produce this software (woo!! Go freedom!). Unless of course there is a workaround.

[eric.rost (eric-rost)]

I haven't had a recurrence of this bug in months (since I originally posted
it, I think). I haven't seen something reliably crash the flashplayer. Sorry
guys :)

[gururise (gururise)]

Still happens to me all the time, on just about any website with flash. Even the flash ads on http://www.slashdot.org sometimes cause npviewer.bin to crash.

[gururise (gururise)]

I've attached a screenshot of the npviewer.bin process windows hanging around on my desktop after a firefox crash. Also, the relevant line from 'top' is:

 PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

Hope this helps someone track down the bug with npviewer.bin, as it makes firefox all but unusable on 64-bit systems

[eric.rost (eric-rost)]

Sorry that I can't help anymore, I think its been since a week after I
posted the bug that it disappeared off of my machine.

[Austin Lund (austin-lund)]

So the original report is due to a null pointer problem. %edx is zero so (%edx) is sure to cause problems.

Perhaps valgrind is in order, but being a hard to repeat bug..... might be a little annoying.

Anyone want to try:

valgrind --trace-children=yes --tool=memcheck firefox

??

(I have no idea if this will be useful).

[gururise (gururise)]

I ran valgrind --trace-children=yes --log-file-exactly=valgrind.txt --tool=memcheck /usr/bin/firefox

I have attached the log file to this post. The website I visited, that sometimes doesnt work with flash (but doesn't necessarily cause npviewer.bin to crash) is: http://www.flasharcade.com/skill-games/paris-hilton-jail-escape-game.html

The following error messages appeared on the shell while valgrind was running:

My two cups contribution.

[Jussi M. (vernerim)]

Ramdom crashes of npviewer.bin also occur on Hardy. This time I was at http://www.itwire.com/content/view/16309/1148/. Has also occured with flash content at www.mtv3.fi.

firefox-3.0:
  Installed: 3.0~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2
nspluginwrapper:
  Installed: 0.9.91.5-1ubuntu1

Greetings,
Jussi M.

[Jeremy Boden (jeremyboden)]

I was playing a downloaded video in Miro - happened after about a minute.
Firefox was loaded but not active.

[Austin Lund (austin-lund)]

Is this a duplicate of Bug #179882?

It appears there is a potentially fix package for 8.04, but not for 7.10 at the moment.

[hlhcomms (hlhcomms)]

It coould be a duplicate... the screen turns grayscale while watching
video content via Firefox, then returns to colour after avariable
interlude. I can live with this problem for now, so I'll wait for 8.04.

This may be a duplicate, however I am HH Alpha 5, latest updates when this
happened. Now on A6.

[Ken Foskey (foskey)]

I have Ubuntu 8.04 - the Hardy Heron - released in April 2008.

npviewer crashes regularly for me right now. It works but is not stable. It appears that if a single page has many flash elements then it will crash. Some of those joke sites with lots of adds will crash it.

I have Ubuntu with proprietary Nvidia drivers I went 8.04 because I have a new nvidia card.

[aberlanas (angel-berlanas)]

I'm in the same situation that waratah.

[Scott Wegner (swegner)]

I got this crash directly after upgrading to Hardy alpha from Gutsy. x64 processor.

[Austin Lund (austin-lund)]

Does the link in the bug report fix this for anyone here?

It worked for me.

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12234800/nspluginwrapper_0.9.91.5-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb

[Dara Adib (daradib)]

Can someone clarify if Bug 193811 is a duplicate of this bug?

[Noel J. Bergman (noeljb)]

I've marked my report, Bug 193811, as a duplicate. And I reiterate what I said in Bug 179882, also marked as a duplicate of this, that the replacement package, http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12234800/nspluginwrapper_0.9.91.5-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb, fixes it for me.

[Sander Jonkers (jonkers)]

1) I have the same crashes of npviewer.bin.
2) When I try to install the nspluginwrapper_0.9.91.5-2ubuntu1_amd64.deb, that install itself goes wrong. See below.

Platform: Ubuntu 8.04 AMD64 Alpha upgraded, running on an Athlon X2 3600+

Never mind my last post; I get the same error message when trying to install another package, so the install error message is probably not related to npviewer.bin. Probably time for a fresh install of Hardy Heron Alpha.

I checked Synaptic, and it shows 2.6.1-1ubuntu10 is the most current version of libc6.

Are you using Hardy? Does it come with a newer libc6? Is there a way to install that in Gutsy?

Thanks.

Bill

[icejoe (thisisicejoe)]

yes i am using hardy, and yes the version installed with synaptic is
2.7-9ubuntu2. I'm going to take a guess and say that a way you could install
it in gutsy is to either go compile from source or add "
http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ hardy main" as a repository and just find
it from there ( though it may request you install other things as
dependencies.

[bill wood (wlwood3)]

I found a post here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nspluginwrapper/+bug/177856
that seems to have cured the problem for me.

It involves installing this version of the nsplugin wrapper file:

[Mrts (mrts)]

Confirming that the updated package fixes this for me.

[Nico Bauer (oshelpdesk)]

still the same problem for me.

[<hp> (hplorenzana)]

I've been encountering this since Gutsy. I just installed Hardy. I can sometimes get this through clicking on an HTML email from Evolution (Ad) and it opens FF.

[James Clemence (jvc26)]

Not much to say other than like the OP simply was informed of the crash. Running Hardy 8.04 beta, amd64. Any further information do ask,

Il

[phenest (steve-clark)]

I can confirm that this is now working in Hardy Heron AMD64.

[phenest (steve-clark)]

My apologies. Ignore last comment. Commented on wrong bug. (Maybe someone can delete it?)

[Joel Wirāmu Pauling (aenertia) (aenertia)]

This bug is a bit more severe on laptops. Because it puts continual background strain on processors it leads to very high running temps but otherwise a responsive system. users who are unaware of the problem risk hardware failure or at least decrease lifetime.

For example on my core2 7400 it will cause a proc that runs normally around the 50C mark to sit at 60-70C and sometimes rise to 80C this will cause battery, harddrive and other component to have signf shorter lifetimes.

Installing 64 bit flash and GPU acceleration.
http://blog.lckymn.com/2009/06/07/installing-64bit-flash-player-in-ubuntu-linux/

As far as I know, the alpha version of 64 bit flash has been available for almost one year (or longer than one year), but Adobe hasn't released any GA version yet. Anyway, in my case, the 64 bit alpha version works much better than 32bit one with npviewer.

Hello, krutoileshii

I'm sorry but I don't get what you mean by the same problem. The 64 bit
flash player does not use npviewer. How can you possibly have "npviewer.bin
crashed with SIGSEGV" problem with the 64 bit one?
Are you sure you removed the 32 bit flash player before installing the 64
bit one?

Kevin

OK, I got it. I was just curious. Then that's probably something else. I
hope you can find what uses the npviewer and replace with the 64 bit version
of it if available.

Not sure if this is related- in addition to the npviewer.bin crashed with SIGSEGV, I have this phenotype: ever since Karmic upgrade I cannot view any flash videos in firefox at all ever, specifically: The first frame with the big arrow in the middle of it comes on, the play/pause in the bottom left is there, no 'waiting'/'loading' icons are happening, but even if i waaaaaaaait I cannot click on the play arrow in the center of the flash vid, or the play/pause in the lower left, or drag the time scroller along the bottom, and get any response. processes show a firefox and npviewer.bin ok and running, but any flash vid is frozen. If this isn't the same bug let me know where to file it maybe? Killing npviewer.bin and reloading the page is no help. happens with any flahs vid any time since upgrade.

Karmic, Firefox 3.5.4, flashplugin-installer 10.0.32.18-ubuntu1, Gnome 2.28.1, kernel 2.6.28-16-generic (cannot start the 2.6.31 kernel due to both the cannot recognize two identical hard drives bug and the didn;t build nvidia drivers successfully bug for now).

[nussmaus (nussmaus111)]

hi mark,
i had the same prob with karmic-64bit....i re-installed with karmic 1-386, and, voila!
flash works, no more blue-green movie playback, still a bit buggy (not sure it's really utilizing all 4 of my processor cores)....nvidia 173 seems to work better with my 9500gt than nvidia 185 driverz....[never install ANYTHING that ends in.0].....i should know better....each version of 8.04 was better than the previous, with 8.10 turning out best of all
wish i'd kept it....oh, well, back to poland (if it ain't broke.......)

This flash npviewer issue has been bugging me for ages (even moreso since Karmic). It seems the latest 64bit Flash PPA resolves my issues (for a few days now), avoiding the wrapper completely, and providing stability on repeated YouTubing (where I easily tripped on this). I expect similar results for firefox 3.5 version as well (noting my Ubuntu-Tweaked versions below), but have little motivation to downgrade and test more thoroughly.

Are bug 178038 and bug 141613 dupes?

[Lars Kumbier (derlars)]

This bug is fixed for me, too, with the new 64bit beta 3 flashplugin from adobe.com (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html).

[perpetualrabbit (perpetualrabbit)]

That's not a fix. That is called a workaround.
The fact is, there are still multiple bug in this 32-in-64 wrapper
thing. Because of the severe problems people were having with this,
choking up their linux workstations, I banned it from the network
altogether. I needed it for acroreader and flash. They do not provide
proper 64-bit versions, or uptodate versions of their product. No
64-bit acroread at all. Okular or evince is good enough as a pdf
reader plugin, and for flash there really is no proper substitute. I
hope some company will give some funding to bring Gnash up to the
level of support that the windows platform enjoys. I lost all faith in
good things coming from Adobe.
No photoshop for linux, no proper flash, no proper pdf reader, let
alone creator.
Still Adobe is an important provider of standards like PDF, flash,
postscript, so I hope that they do get their act together soon.
They are too important for linux indirectly to die. Otherwise I would
not care about them.

This is true, but it's a very acceptable workaround. If you have no
philosophical misgivings about running Adobe Flash, this really is the
way to do it on 64-bit systems.

[Noel J. Bergman (noeljb)]

The fix is to move directly to the 64 bit version, and stop worrying about nspluginwrapper. How did a 32-bit stopgap become the only and blessed solution?

No official non-alpha-quality x64 bit version from the upstream vendor,
maybe? And yes, while it's true you are CURRENTLY able to download it
(even in alpha), that was not the case at the original inception of this
bug.

So does that mean the bug is grandfathered in because it got here
first? In this case, alpha is just a label, and the 64-bit flash
player is much more stable than running 32-bit flash under
nspluginwrapper, according to many users who have commented on this
thread. There doesn't seem to be any reason to keep the 32-bit flash
plugin under nspluginwrapper that makes up for its brokenness.

[krutoileshii (krutoileshii)]

64bit flash is not the only problem there are still closed-source codecs out there that only exist in a 32 bit form.

[has (henrik-a-schultz)]

This bug applies to nspluginwrapper under Google Chrome too.
I also second using the 64-bit alpha over the 32-bit wrapped version!
More stable, better performance etc.
At least make it available in the repo's as an option! Like with the wine beta that co-existed with the production one.

Back to +2 after my -1 for flash 64 in the repos. We would be better off to have no flash than force an Alpha on AMD64 users. The need for any plug-in unnecessary soon. Adobe is talking with Google about complete integration into Chrome. So this bug discussion could be renedered moot in the near future.

What Adobe is developing may never become a full-fledged 64-bit product. There's no plug-in for Windows or Mac being developed at all presently. Some features aren't even implemented yet.

Don't force an Alpha down my throat. The 64-bit Alpha isn't faster, and it breaks websites, especially ones that stream video. That can't possibly be better for most end-users. At least Hulu and ESPN 3 work now with the 32-bit plug-in and the wrapper. Take those away and, IMHO, you may as well have no plug-in at all.

Let's either fix nspluginwrapper, or tell people we're going to wait to see what Adobe is going to do.

BTW, what's going on with these previous two posts?

I think they should both be in there, so people can choose for
themselves what sort of problems they want to experience. I've never
seen any video websites that don't work with the 64-bit plugin, and no
matter what package is in the repositories, you're not being forced to
run anything.

For me, Flash Player sometimes displays a grey box on YouTube, but the sound is still playing. And often after about 4 seconds of the video, it restarts it and then just works fine. Weird.
