 Posted: Mon Oct 18, 2004 12:52 pm Post subject: Firefox/thunderbird segmentation fault |
 |
|
I put the web developer's toolbar on firefox, and now I am not able to start any mozilla product. The error I get is the same for both-
| Code: |
firefox --sync
/usr/bin/firefox: line 88: 26025 Segmentation fault $mozbin "$@" |
I have tried emerge -C on firefox and removed all old configuration files before remerging. Remerged fluxbox and xorg also... Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Glinks is nice, but I would like firefox back

| I hab exactly the same problem, and it seems it was a kind of kernel issue. problems startes after using kernel 2.6.9-rc4-mm1, and switching many of the options in kernel configuration didn't do the trick for me. i now use a hand patched 2.6.9-rc4 kernel ( without mm) and mozilla apps worlk flawless like they ever did. strange.... |

Yes kernel 2.6.9-rc4-mm1 does not work with gecko based browsers due to one of the patches it puts in.
You can remove the patch by downloading it here
then run this command | Code: | | patch -p1 -R < /patch/to/downloaded.patch |
I just did it and it now works.[/code]

I forgot to put this in before... This is what I get when I try to run firefox normally. (I used the --sync option in the previous post).
| Code: |
firefox
No running windows found
The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 1322 error_code 9 request_code 55 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Check your font configs. I think the latest ebuild of xorg modified font permissions in /usr/share/fonts/windows. They're probably mode 441; you should have them as 644:
| Code: |
# chmod 644 /usr/share/fonts/windows/*
|
Beyond this, there are a number of other posts in the forums. Hope this helps. |

That isn't it either. None of the post I've found have addressed this issue in particular... Lots of good ideas put out so far though... it's much appreciated.

I do have them compiled with the -O3 flag, but they worked before with it enabled. I completely removed xorg last night (configs and all) and remerged, but hasn't changed anything either... Odd.
