Aw Snap on Linux with 34.x.x

Post by Sandgroper »

I am running Kubuntu 20.04, 64 bit.

Every time I install any of the 34.x.x updates, I get the dreaded Aw Snap failure on many sites.

I have to reinstall 33.0.0 and lose all my site login details, because it says to select "No" to profile change - but there is only Cancel and Yes.

Any ideas as to why I am getting the Aw Snap problem?

Quick guess, isn't that about having to reinstall the libffmpeg.so codecs library?

I usually update libffmpeg.so if videos stop playing. I keep the last version that worked.

Never had it cause Aw Snap though, through it being out of date.

I have downloaded the latest version and will try it anyway.

Just means if it doesn't fix it, I have to go through the nausea of setting up all my site login details again.

Looks like you were correct.

Upgraded Slimjet and used the latest version of libffmpeg.so and so far no Aw Snap.

Thanks for the tip.
