 Posted: Sat Mar 06, 2021 7:44 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] firefox-bin won't start, no output displayed |
 |
|
Solved: If you're using dwm, check workspace 9!
I have a clean Gentoo install. X server has been set up. I am running it successfully and using dwm. I am posting this from links on xterm.
I emerged firefox-bin. When running firefox-bin from the command line, I do not get a browser, nor any output. It is as if nothing happened, but looking at the running processes firefox sure is running.
I tried running it with strace. It constantly outputs "EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)".
There seems to be nothing relevant on dmesg nor Xorg.0.log.
How should I proceed debugging this?
PS: I tried starting it in safe-mode which should disable hardware acceleration among other things. I also tried removing .mozilla even though it's a clean install. My user is on the video group. I also tried strating it with -gfatal-warnings, --no-remote, --sync, -P, --alow-downgrade, --browser, and pretty much everything else, to no avail. It just fails quitly, the process is running but the browser itself does not opne. Other browsers like surf work, but I wish to use firefox.
PPS: When running kill -IIL <firefox_PID> firefox opens a Window (finally!) saying it crashed and generates a crash report. Unfortunately it's not very useful as I still cannot use the browser itself.

You could do an | Code: | | emerge --pretend www-client/firefox |
and see if your missing any dependencies.
What kind of DE are you running?
Post your emerge info.

Well your system is more up to date than mine.
Do you have dbus and dev-libs/dbus-glib installed?
Is dbus running?

Hi.
Try running firefox from a terminal, this may give you some clues.

Yes, dbus-glib is installed at the latest version available and dbus is running.

I am already running it from a terminal, there is no output as I described in the original post.
PS: I also tried running /opt/firefox/firefox and /opt/firefox/firefox-bin directly, to no avail. |

post that on pastebin or somwhere we can see it.
Also your emerge info and the output of | Code: | | grep -E "CGROUPS|INOTIFY_USER" /usr/src/linux/.config |
If your kernel is set up right, I bet its a dbus issue, can you run other X apps?
| Code: | echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
|
use to make sure there are no lingering processes
Then try
| Code: | | dbus-launch firefox |

Hello.

My bad, missed that point.
Anyway, you told about running with strace and getting this:
| Code: | | EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) |
Might be interesting to check previous system call: obviously, identifying the missing resource could help you find out your issue.

Posting this from firefox, finally!
Feeling pretty dumb though.
Firefox was running the entire time, it just so happens to open in a separate workspace (or whatever its called on dwm)... I'm used to always hiding dmenu as soon as I startx so I did not see it... It starts on workspace 9 whilst you're on 1 by default.
