I actually had the problem on my LXDE partition. On my KDE partition, I didn't do the "upgrade" to nvidia 285 kept 280 and all is well.

Here is the previous Nvidia driver if someone who is having crash problems want to test. Download the 2 rpms and save them in your home folder somewhere.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010/RPMS.nonfree/dkms-nvidia-current-280.13-1pclos2011.i586.rpm

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/pclinuxos/2010/RPMS.nonfree/x11-driver-video-nvidia-current-280.13-1pclos2011.i586.rpm

Use Synaptic and remove the current Nvidia driver. Close Synaptic

Open a console terminal like konsole, su to root, cd to where your have the old driver saved and rpm -Uvh *.rpm to install the old driver. Restart your computer.

This is only for those using Nvidia current not legacy driver.

Installed the nvidia-280 drivers.

Well the crash doesn't always happen straight away, I'll leave the computer on overnight with Chromium running and report back in the morning. When the error about Shockwave Flash crashing occurred, I wasn't actually doing anything involving flash, or at all, it just happened randomly. So an overnight should do it!

Flash has been doing that for years. Just leave any browser on page with a lot of flash and it will eventually go boom.

I am using the fglrx driver so no problems for me.

Do you have any extensions enabled? Someone said he disabled ad-block which solved his flash crash. Others said it made no difference.

I just sent Chromium 14.0.835.204 to the repos to see if it helps with those experiencing the flash crash with the Nvidia (285.x) driver.

Tex - when I had the crash with the nvidia-285 driver, I installed iron and google-chrome as well as renaming my configuration folders, and all to no avail, none of them would run. No problems with the nvidia-280 driver, left overnight, working fine. So I doubt whether a version number change on Chromium-browser will help. I'll give it a try, though.

I understand what you are saying. Google Chrome, Chromium and Iron brower all comes from the same source code. If everything else works with the Nvidia 285 driver except for one application then maybe the application can be changed to work with the driver rather than downgrading the driver to fix the one application.

Either Nvidia will need to fix their driver or Google will need to fix their Chrome code.

Maybe the update has worked - or maybe I'm speaking too soon. I've had Chromium running pretty heavily on the latest nvidia-285 driver for a couple of hours now. No problems at all! YET.

It seemed to happen at an odd time, and once it had happened Chromium etc wouldn't run again even after a reboot. However, I have since used "nouveau" then re-installed and switched back to the older driver, then upgraded it and rebooted, and with the Chromium version upgrade, all seems fine so far!

Lets see what the bear down under says about his setup. Thanks for testing this Dave!

Using Chromium-browser by default install (without extensions). Tested the latest version (+/- 4 hours playing videos from youtube) without any crash from the browser and flashplayer.
Tested on the Nvidia 285.xx driver

Texstar,

I am backing up my root partition and downgrading the NVidia driver per
your supplied RPMs.  The newer Chromium update did not work so will
give this a go.

Your earlier comment is spot on.  Seems sort of silly to have to down grade
a common video driver to suite a particular app. I probably should open a bug
report so Google can fix their code. I don't think that NVidia should necessary
be held responsible if other browsers with Flash work just fine.

Thanks for all your help and effort folks!!

I will post back my results.

AussieBear.

Texstar, Davecs and mates,

Downgraded the Nvidia video drivers to 280 and now Chromium works
a treat.  Since I backed up my .cache/chromium and .config/chromium
directories, I restored them so, back to the way it was. In fact I am using
Chromium to write this post.

A lot of work just to get one application to work!! The kick is its not an
essential application since Firefox and the other browsers work just fine
with the newest driver.

No great loss when I know it will cark it (aussie for "die") again when I do
my next update.

Again, thanks for all your efforts.

Kindest Regards,

AussieBear.
