I will have to check out Moonlight and your problem may be solved when you get Google Chrome OS as well ;). gOS looks solid and beautiful but I don't use Google services too much on Linux though and prefer Linux Mint (ubuntu based distribution) over other distributions. It has really come far and a good way for beginners to start on Linux. Must have been some problem because you don’t expect so many series of problems with a single install.

It seems like there are some software and plugins that go crazy causing all sorts of problems. Most of the time I can get an idea before I upgrade.

Its worth noting I have tried Moonlight on gOS under a number of configurations today, so I'm not entirely sure moonlight is to blame, or what exactly is going on. Is it possible you have some other extension conflicting? When you say firefox kept crashing were you "restoring" session or starting a new one? If you were "restoring" what page were you attempting to navigate to when you got the initial crash? Kiwi,

If you would like to help with the problem:

1> Close all firefox instances
2> Start firefox with the profile manager (firefox -ProfileManager)
3> Create a new profile
4> Install moonlight into the profile
5> Start firefox in the new profile in gdb (firefox -p ProfileName -no-remote -d gdb)
6> Get the stack trace when it crashes and file a bug using your main profile.

Firefox would restart then immediately crash. As for G4 Challenge http://watch.discoverychannel.ca then click on Video Library > G4 Challenge. it is Silverlight. I have not seen ANY full episodes anywhere else. But hey thanks for you comment. The problem with filing a bug is that I could not get back into firefox to find anything useful to actually file.

Did you file a bug to get the solution fixed? I successfully installed the codec pack and watched video from http://silverlight.net/fox Considering moonlight never touches any ALSA settings, and doesn't even speak to OSS at all, compounded with the fact that every since instance of the G4 challenge that I can find requires flash, it begs the question as to the validity of your post.

If you decide to try Moonlight again in the future and experience such a crash, please report it to our bugzilla at http://bugzilla.novell.com so that we can fix it. Thanks, Jeff Hi KiwiBloke,
