Description Vlado 2012-04-04 10:20:09 UTC
I have reported this crash in a comment to the bug 286921 more than a month ago, with no effect. I do not know why this bug (and many others similar) is described as unconfirmed, although it appears on my computer every time when I use konqueror and I  change the subpage of certain webpages (for example www.pravda.sk). It seems that the crash appears only on the webpages which use flash-plugin.
Therefore I report this bug again; the kde version is 4.8.1 (it cannot be typed in Version above (the highest version is there 4.7).

My computer:

board                          D845GEBV2
processor                      Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz

kernel-PAE.i686                3.3.0-8.fc16
kde-runtime.i686               4.8.1-2.fc16
flash-plugin.i386              11.1.102.63-release

Excerpt from the messages:

I wonder that this bug is not considered: does it mean that people should not use konqueror but  some other browser? I prefer konqueror from the beginning of using linux.
I do not know what is the exact purpose of nspluginviewer; why it cannot be suspended when it only makes problems?

> does it mean that people should not use konqueror

It means we need some developer who can reproduce the crash to obtain a backtrace, and understand the code to fix it.

Alternatively, if you can reproduce the crash, please add the backtrace. You can use gdb to read the saved core dump, and type "bt" at the gdb command line. For more information, see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
Comment 2 Vlado 2012-04-11 12:37:33 UTC
I have tried to use gdb. It required to use debuginfo-install kde-baseapps-4.8.1-1.fc16.i686. The total disk space required was 2.1 GB, but I have only 1.8 GB free in /  directory.

The crash of nspluginviewer can be avoided if I uncheck the javascript in Konqueror/Tools/HTML Settings.
