[OpenIndiana-discuss] Workaround for Flash issue

[Udo Grabowski (IMK)]

Hi,
I found an interesting fact about the flash player problem (151a8,a9):
If you manage to right click the menu entry 'About Adobe flash player'
while the video is loading, but before it plays (you have to be
fast...), the video will first crash, but a second tab opens and
shows the Adobe flash intro running. After that, close the Adobe
tab, and reload the video page. The video will run, and all
subsequent videos after will also be shown without crashes in
this instance of firefox (latest solaris flash 11.2.202.223) !

This seems to hint to a threading issue with library load order,
I previously experimented a lot and got flash running randomly,
but not in a way to present a consistent workaround, but this time,
it seems to circumvent the problem always.

The debugger loads the plugin-container with the libraries below when
it works, but loads these ones additionally when actually starting the
video:

....
Reading pango-basic-fc.so
Reading libcanberra-gtk.so.0.1.7
Reading libcanberra.so.0.2.4
Reading libgconf-2.so.4.1.5
Reading libORBit-2.so.0.1.0
Reading libltdl.so.3.1.4
Reading libcanberra-oss.so
Reading libvorbisfile.so.3.3.5
Reading libvorbis.so.0.4.6
Reading libogg.so.0.7.1
Reading libpixbufloader-xpm.so
(video shown)


So maybe there's something wrong in these compared
to a7, where flash used to work.
