Struggling to get Flash to work within Prism still.

I’m also getting a segmentation fault (core dumped) with the b2 version. I have been using the b1 version without problems.

This is on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 32 bit.

If the webapp.ini has ’statusbar=true’, prism will segfault just after loading the initial page. With ’statusbar=false’, the webapp will run but a segfault will occur when the webapp is closed.

It seems like the crash is occurring somewhere in the JavaScript engine. I’ll do my best to reproduce it.

I also get a segmentation fault while starting Prism 1.0b2 under Slackware 12.1 (x86 32bit)

The creation of a new WebApp works without problems. The segmentation fault occurs during the start of prism with the “-overide” and “-webapp” options. The prism window appears for a very short time and then disappears with a “segmentation fault” on the command line.

There is some build documentation although it’s pretty barebones: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Prism/Build

Let me know if you have any questions. The documentation is obviously on a wiki, and I’d be most appreciative if anyone wants to make improvements to it.

I’m not sure what to do about this. I installed 9.0.4 (32-bit) and it worked fine for me. If anyone has any ideas about how to reproduce the problem, please let me know. Alternatively, if someone can get me a useful backtrace (debianfangirl, not sure what you posted but I couldn’t make head or tail of it).

I’d be happy to help someone build a debug version on their machine for testing if they are experiencing this issue.

Hrm. Either pastebin has a character limit, or I fail at copy / paste. Looks like the end was chopped off.

Hi Matthew,

I get a segmentation fault about three seconds after prism successfully launches. Not sure if it’s the same issue.

strace output here:

Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit desktop. Prism 0.9 works fine for me as well.
