[daniel.ramos]

my linux is a mandrake 7.2 distributions
(kernel 2.2.17, xfree4 and kde 2)
only last versions !!!

Comment 3

[Keyser Sose]

Looks like its crashing in the flash program not us. I am thinking about marking
this INVALID.

Comment 4

[daniel.ramos]

mozilla 0.8.1, flash 5 or 4,jre 1.3.0_01
redhat 6.2,XFree 4.0.1,glibc 2.2-5mdk,kernel 2.2.17

Marking new as per reproducibility.

Comment 7

[shrirang khanzode]

i do not crash on 0409 trunk on linux , redhat 6.1. What else can i say :(

Comment 8

[Scott Gifford (old account)]

I'm able to reproduce this consisently on build 2001042321.  I've got it down to
a test case...It looks like it may crash when the <object><embed>... stuff is
inside a table and/or a <div>.  I'll attach the one that crashes and the one
that doesn't.  This is from my local disk, referencing a flash file that doesn't
exist.  I don't have flash installed at all.

Attachment: Flash non-crasher

Comment 11

[Scott Gifford (old account)]

Note that after loading the crasher, you may have to create a new profile before
looking at the non-crasher, or it will still crash.  Probably a cache thing.

Here's what I see right before Mozilla goes down in flames:

Document file:///home/sgifford/flashtest.crash.html loaded successfully
Gdk-ERROR **: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  serial 17 error_code 9 request_code 55 minor_code 0

Comment 12

[shrirang khanzode]

the error points to bug 76505. Keeping this OPEN to verify again after 76505 is 
fixed. marking dependency in that bug.

Comment 13

[av (gone)]

This is very likely a dup of 76505. Serge, please try it with your fix for 76505 
applied and mark as a dup if appropriate.

Comment 14

[serge (gone)]

Originally this bug was about undefined symbol: XShmQueryExtension in 
libflashplayer.so
it means libXext.so does not exist. Usually this lib is symbolic link to the 
latest point version
library, particularly on mandrake 7.2 development station 
ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.4*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so -> libXext.so.6*
I'm guessing (I did not try it)
mandrake 7.2 default desktop does install /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4
but by unknown reasons does not make libXext.so link, the same as libXt.so
(see bug 65055).
So if there is no /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so the workaround is
from root account:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib/
ln -sf libXext.so.6 libXext.so


The problem Scott Gifford reported on 2001-04-24 is a dup of 76505
but this bug, I would say, is a dup of 65055

Sorry for the delay of testing serge's solution but it seems that it doesnt
work... :-(

those are my mozilla parameters :

for me serge is right about the symlink thing, or some lib thing because of the
message i receive in the console from where i launch mozilla :
--------------->
 ./mozilla-bin: error in loading shared libraries:
/usr/local/netscape/./plugins/libflashplayer.so: undefined symbol:
XShmQueryExtension
<---------------

but i follow his comments and they seems to have no changes !

I reopen the bug :-(
thanks for the help you already give me but
can you help me again ;-)

[Peter Lubczynski]

Reporter:

Try this without Java installed. I think recent builds are showing a probem 
with both Java and Flash are installed on Linux.

Attachment: XShmQueryExtension query in bugzilla

Comment 20

[serge (gone)]

I've attached bugzilla query for XShmQueryExtension, which gave me only 2 bugs - 
the current one and 24131 which is not related to plugins, though there are tons 
of linux bugs related to flashplayer, this is strange.
So, I'm guessing something is wrong with reporter's linux box, or is 
this mandrake 7.2 with xfree4 and kde 2 problem?

Comment 21

[serge (gone)]

I've tried mozilla release build  with flash 4 & 5 plugins on mandrake7.2. ,
I've seen no crashes, no messages, no loading of libflashplayer.so, 
though the same binaries work just fine on redhat7.0
Definitely something is wrong  with flash plugins on mandrake7.2 ,
it could be gcc/libc things similar to 56464

Comment 22

[karnaze (gone)]

shrir, is this linux only?

Comment 23

[shrirang khanzode]

this works for me on today's linux (redhat 6.1, gnome) win and mac.

Comment 24

[karnaze (gone)]

Marking worksforme.
