firefox (and others) keeps crashing
hi guys,
i have a quite annoying problem with ubunti edgy 6.10.
some programs (e.g. firefox 2.0.0.2, gaim, and so on), keep crashing randomly: some times they start crashing within minutes after startup, some other times it takes longer. if i restart them, they usually crash again after a while.
i am using gnome, and i think the problem is related to x because if i try to run firefox, for instance, from the command line, the message i get after it crashes is:
quote:
the application 'gecko' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the x server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
all this thing is quickly becoming quite annoying, since the crashes are very frequent with ff, but are starting to become an issue also with other programs.
has anyone experienced this kind of issues or have any idea about what could i do to solve them? (they began right after the upgrade to edgy, but now are happening more frequently)
i am using the latest versions of gnome, ati's fglrx driver and xorg available on edgy.

hey, i just did a fresh install of ubuntu on an hp/compaq nc4010 and it worked great! just a little editing to the apt.sources and a little editing to the xorg.conf and rock and roll.
now my computer looks like all those ones they use on sci-fi movies and on 24! i can't wait to use it to do a presentation at work on the big screen. "let's see.... i've got your file over on this desktop here. hang on!"
i just wanted to post because usually what gets posted here are problems and crys for help--i thought a "it all worked a-o-kay" note would be a nice change.

firefox in linux
greetings good people of the ubuntu community,
firefox has been a pain in the *** for me. i find it, really bloated. and i also have some major problems with the flash plugin.
first of all, i'm using gentoo linux, in a pc with 1gb of ram, and a processor of 3.2ghz, which is more than enough for my needs. anyway, so i'm having firefox, a konsole with irssi open and amarok. in firefox i have 3 tabs open, including one with a flash video. when i'm switching tabs or changing between programs, i get full 3 or more seconds of waiting. also, in digg.com, i'm getting a hueg lagfest, taking me a while to scroll, and pressing the links will freeze firefox for like 2secs.. is this normal? i mean... i'm getting less freezing in windows...
also, about the flash player...
i'm attaching the info from about: plugins here, before i describe my problem:
quote:
shockwave flash
file name: libflashplayer.so
shockwave flash 9.0 r31
mime type description suffixes enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash shockwave flash swf yes
application/futuresplash futuresplash player spl yes
so, well... the problem only appears in flash videos (like in youtube, metacafe etc.). the videos basicaly freeze. usually in the second or third second, but sometimes in the middle of it. to fix it, i'll have to kill firefox and start it again. also, flash is really laggy, and makes the whole page much more bloated than normally a flash application would.
any ideas?
thanks!
edit: you probably want to move this thread in "general help" :/

im using 6.10 and installed beryl, then switched to compiz then decided they were not stable and went back to a non accelerated desktop. i removed the nvidia beta driver and reinstalled the stable driver.
now to the problem:
ever since i installed compiz / beryl the xine control menu is transparent and unusable, its drawing the buttons on it to the screen but not the background. i tryed to reinstall xine. no avail. any ideas? i have rolled out all the compiz / beryl changes. i have not removed the packages though.
