If > it is in a sandbox, does the problem persist when run naively? In both. Also I just remembered, that I'm using flash plugin from my mozilla dir (~/.mozilla/plugins) and I pass that dir to the sandboxed FF - so I tested the flash in sandbox without passing the plugin, and it's giving the same result. BTW, other flash contents like Youtube videos work fine (flash and not the HTML5 version). > Just to verify, you've booted into the new kernel, right?

Yes, I booted into the new kernel. > Do the problems you've reported persist on the older kernel?

I have an Intel GPU with a driver coming with the official kernel. No any 3rd party driver anywhere on my system. $ lspci | grep -i vga 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c) > Any chance for your X logs from a session where you've got the > problems? I have several lines of these in my Xorg.0.log: AUDIT: Thu Mar 14 21:38:35 2013: 2409: client 2 disconnected AUDIT: Thu Mar 14 21:38:35 2013: 2409: client 2 connected from local host ( uid=0 gid=0 pid=2503 ) Auth name: MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 ID: 197 Can it be reported by SELinux and so might I have problems with SELinux access deny somehow? > I'll look at some stuff and see what I can see, > > Pat Also, I created a fresh install of SL 6.3 in a VM and the problem comes up there too.
