Does anyone confirm this bug?

It's ok here. Not sure how flash and MCC are connected.

Could you give some system details please and logs if available too.

Also please check if the same symptoms exist if you create a new user on the system. The flash update was a critical security update which prevents many remote code execution issues.

i don't think any log entries are there, firefox crashed at least 6 -7 times without a trace. and it did stop crashing after I uninstalled the 2 update packages.

all the segfaults i could find ...

I think this might be a bug that appears only in some locales, with some input methods or encodings.

Does MCC started from console give useful logs?

I would also advise to check your hardware memory with memcheck or similar tools, and also your disk. This could be hardware related but would have been triggered only with the new packages. Does it still segfault if you install the update again?

i can try installing them and see if it happens again ... see you on the other side :-)

If it's a real bug, it could also be that Adobe changed how they compile it again.  They already changed it a few years ago to use CPU extensions not available on every CPU, so it stopped working on a lot of computers.  If the problem persists, I'd recommend uninstalling this and installing Google Chrome and freshplayerplugin and see if Flash in Firefox behaves any better.

I'm puzzled that this would make the MCC crash, it should have nothing to do with flash player.

Ok guys,
Back from the other side.
installed the 2 packages, and everything is working fine. 

Flash is running, and mcc is running fine.

I have no idea what went wrong when the 2 packages came in as updates.

erasing them and re installing them seems to have fixed the issue.

Tho i would care to note, firefox was working just fine without any flash installed on the system, including youtube and many news sites ....

<offtopic> Indeed, one can very well live without Flash nowadays, and I can only say good riddance. Of course there are some specific applications that you might need Flash for, but I personally deinstalled it some months ago and I don't miss it. http://occupyflash.org/ </offtopic>

agreed.

So, what site is used to verify the rpm/package works?

Is the bouncing ball enough at https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about  :)
Or animation/mouse at http://www.chemgapedia.de/vsengine/help/en/flash/     :)

I had a different problem today so I don't know if I should open a new report or not... I didn't had that problem before.

I used freshplayerplugin-0.3.1-1.mga5.x86_64

This is what a I get.

Yes, new bug report please. Pepperflash is a completely different package.

I have make a new installation of mageia 5 in my HD (previously I had installed Mageia 4 in my SSD) and now I have MCC that randomly don't open it. If I reboot it works and then stop to open it. Firefox had some problem and one times a day, randomly crash.

So my problem is similar to Sam's problem.

urpmi works. In the future i make a new fresh installation in my SSD of mageia 5.

This bug is not related to flash player plugin.

@ Sandro

Did you have similar segfaults to Sam's when you reported having a similar problem?

If so, do you still have this issue now, in Mageia 5 and/or 6sta2?

@ Sam

Do you still see this in fully updated Mga5 or 6sta2?

@ Sam & Sandro

If so, please run, after seeing the bug again, as root:

   journalctl -ab > journal.txt

And attach journal.txt to this bug report, while telling at which time(s) the bug reoccurred.

Thanks :-)

Btw, with "the bug" or "the problem" I do _not_ mean seeing the MCC or Firefox issue after getting a flash update, but having the MCC or Firefox issue regardless of what was updated, and seeing segfaults in libmozalloc.so and/or sd_festival segfaults.

No more problem with MCC after the re-installation. Other glitch with Firefox but this is another bug. For me this bug is closed. TY.

I agree with Sandoro here. This bug should be closed ...

Thanks, closing.
