@VoidMage - when you say card vs processor, do you mean CPU vs GPU or CPU vs motherboard? If you're suspecting CPU related - how about specifically collecting processor capabilities, instead of just name/model?

On the problem machine, /proc/cpuinfo gives:

processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 6
model : 10
model name : AMD Athlon(TM) XP
stepping : 0
cpu MHz : 1150.122
cache size : 512 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 1
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr sse syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow up
bogomips : 2301.08
clflush size : 32
cache_alignment : 32
address sizes : 34 bits physical, 32 bits virtual
power management: ts

Could their be some flag (present or missing) which is causing the problem? What other information would be helpful?

Actually, for me 'AMD Athlon XP 2500+' is more or less what I see in my /proc/cpuinfo.
Anyway, your CPU seems a bit older than mine.
Still, would be nice, if a definite answer to CPU/GPU question could be found.
Perhaps you could raise the issue with ArchLinux too ? Maybe if enough distros raise stink about it, someone will try to raise the issue with Adobe (even if they'll most likely ignore it).

I'll add my "me too" here. Very similar processor and NVIDIA GPU. Anyone have a link to the safe 10.x series?

~same here, Nvidia GeForce 7600 GT with nouveau driver and Athlon XP 2100+

The updated 10.* version works though.

@Undrwater just follow the link from the adobe site to the archive of older flash version from their download page.

OK, one way or another, it seems the problem finally reached Adobe's database.
At least following reports look related:

Looks suspiciously like they built 11.2.202.228, versus previous working 11.1.102.63, with SSE2 instructions which my Athlon XP doesn't support.

So, 11.2.202.233 was released on Friday, but it's still broken in regard of this problem.
Now, for an interesting response, see the note from '2:34:51 AM PDT Apr 16, 2012' in https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3154276.
They try to drop it on a technicality - for those of you that no longer recall it: at the time those AMD models were released, AMD CPUs had slower clocking than their Intel counterparts, but were about equal in performance.

Athlon XP 2600 with Geforce FX5900XT. Same problem. I went for the first solution with the ftp download and manual replacement, which worked fine for me. Firefox' about_plugin-page now shows "Shockwave Flash 10.3 r183".

I will try www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.1.102.63 in a minute again, but I think i already tried that one.
EDIT: That version works too. Firefox mentions "Shockwave Flash 11.1 r102" and youtube-videos play.

Code:

Architecture:          i686
CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit
Byte Order:            Little Endian
CPU(s):                1
On-line CPU(s) list:   0
Vendor ID:             AuthenticAMD
CPU family:            6
Model:                 10
Stepping:              0
CPU MHz:               1921.192
BogoMIPS:              3842.38
L1d cache:             64K
L1i cache:             64K
L2 cache:              512K


Edit: I for myself added the following lines to my /etc/portage/package.mask so that I still get new version of adobe-flash. If these won't work, then i can mask them too:

Code:

#masked due to problems with my hardware-platform. see http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7017846.html#7017846

FYI, this is now Bug #410547

State so far: I've added adobe-flash-10.3.183.18 which is the most current 10.3 release to the tree.

I will probably also add a check to the 11.2 ebuild to warn users who are running on CPUs without the SSE2 instruction set that they need to mask adobe-flash-11.2 to fall back to 10.3.

By the way - Could everyone affected by this lack-of-SSE2 issue please let me know if you're running 32-bit or 64-bit (ie, x86 or amd64)?

I'm just trying to see if it's only 32-bit here, or if 64-bit is also affected.

The check needs checking. 4 computers where /proc/cpuinfo shows sse2 the check fails and tells me I need a cpu that supports sse2.

I hit that as well, the ebuild just has some cruft on it. The fix is quite simple.

I can't even install it! 8O
I've been getting checksum failures for weeks.
Code:
!!! Fetched file: adobe-flash-11.2.202.228.i386.tar.gz VERIFY FAILED!
!!! Reason: Filesize does not match recorded size
!!! Got:      6748255
!!! Expected: 6917230
Refetching... File renamed to '/mnt/nfs_portage/distfiles/adobe-flash-11.2.202.228.i386.tar.gz._checksum_failure_.KBXBa9'

:evil:

EDIT:
Okay, I have had to manually download it and put it in /etc/portage/distfiles/ and rename it.
Now it is emerged.
Strange I should have to do this.

Sorry for hijacking the thread.

I thought I would add my two cents worth...

My CPU:
Code:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 42
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz
stepping        : 7
microcode       : 0x14
cpu MHz         : 3392.063
cache size      : 8192 KB
physical id     : 0
siblings        : 8
core id         : 0
cpu cores       : 4
apicid          : 0
initial apicid  : 0
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 13
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm pcid sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt tsc_deadline_timer aes xsave avx lahf_lm ida arat epb xsaveopt pln pts dts tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpid
bogomips        : 6784.12
clflush size    : 64
cache_alignment : 64
address sizes   : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
power management:
...


So, not an old Athlon, running 64-bit, has SSE2 (has the lot actually), and does not get anything useful out of:
Code:

www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.2.202.228
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-295.20

Same issue with the11.2.202.235 update. The 10.3.183.19 update works though. To be honest, I'll be glad when flash disappears completely.

Just wanted to note:

dev-lang/v8: 3.10.8.11
www-client/chromium: 20.0.1132.21
www-plugins/adobe-flash: 11.2.202.235

This combination works for me for Html5 video, always, _IF_ I'm running Jackd (Jack-Audio-Connection-Kit). If I attempt using only (straight) Alsa for audio, flash videos work, but Html videos buffer a bit, then stall. I close the browser tab, start jackd (with qjackctl), reopen the same (html5) video and the video run flawlessly regardless of length. Also note, I have the lines in my .asoundrc which connect all non-native Jack apps and plugins to Jack.

Only note as this might be a workaround for some folks until the issue is resolved for Html5 videos and Alsa-only systems. I use Jackd for other audio work I do, but I don't run it 100% of the time. I left it running and discovered all videos were working, then backtracked and noticed I had let Jackd running. When I turned it off (back to Alsa only), I saw the Html5 stalling again, so I did about a dozen iterations (Jackd/Alsa-only/Jackd/Alsa-only...) to convince myself that this was the case. For me it seems to have been.

Cheers

Getting back on topic.
adobe-flash 11.2.202.236 was released.
Congratulations, Adobe !!!
A fail has turned into an epic fail.
Now, instead of not playing a thing, flash player manages to take down firefox.
