Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I had Firefox opened in Gnome. I then installed kubuntu-desktop using synaptic. I then logged out of GDM and logged in KDM. The crash happened during the KDM login.

The crash seems that was caused by adobe's flash plugin which we can do anything about it, since it is closed source. You might want to report it upstream directly.

Notice that you are not using ubuntu's packaged flash plugin (package flashplugin-nonfree) I recommend you to migrate to the packaged version. It might not prevent those crashes, but the plugin will be always up-to-date by apt the way the other apps are.
