Flash completely freeze computer
- by Yanick Rochon
Since this morning, and ever so frequently, Flash will completely freeze the computer as soon as something launches it. First, the web page will stop responding, then the entire browser, and after about 2 seconds, the mouse and keyboard will stop responding and the computer will escalate to 100% usage, and all that's left is to perform a hard reboot.
I tried re-installing Flash, downgrade my kernel, nothing will do.
I'm running Mint 13 64-bit (based on Ubuntu 12.04) with XFCE (not Xubuntu, I installed XFCE as separate package).
It never freezes otherwise, so I know it's caused by Flash.
How do I solve this issue? What could cause this?
