 Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2005 8:03 pm Post subject: crash when trying to download. |
 |
|
hi, im a having trouble with almost all my webbrowsers exept links.
when i rightclick on a image and choose "save image as..." in any of firefox, mozilla or konqueror the browser just freeze.
i've tryied to recompile firefox and also installed the binary release of firefox but nothing seems to fix the problem.
the fact that this is affecting all my browsers exept links is realy weird as i doubt the others are using the same download function or something like that.
this is the message i get when i rightclick on an image in konqueror
| Code: |
kdecore (KAction): WARNING: KActionCollection::KActionCollection( QObject *parent, const char *name, KInstance *instance )
|
but theres no output when i click "Save Image As".
i realy hope you can help me with this as it is _realy_ frustrating. |

Have you tried re-emerging X, gtk, and kde? |

Firefox is freezing on me too. If I try to save an image or anything to disk, it freezes. I did mozilla-firefox, not mozilla-firefox-bin, and my make.conf file is:
| Code: | cat /etc/make.conf
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example
CFLAGS="-O3 -pipe -march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
CCACHE_SIZE="2G"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"

There are a couple of other threads about this - it appears that there was/is an issue with firefox and the new nvidia drivers..
I had this issue until yesterday when a newer set of nvidia drivers were released and the issue seems to have been rectified.. at least for me. 
So emerge sync, update the nvidia and nvidia-glx and see if this helps.

Are you referring to the drivers in the stable, or the ones that are masked? |

They came up as masked as I was trying to get around the nvidia issue and wanted to see if they would alter anything.......

Okay, I've upgraded the nvidia drivers, upgraded my kernel, but still no luck. I'm getting the same problem with Mozilla, but not with Epiphany.... In addition, KDE freezes whenever I try to load it up (doesn't get past the first stage), and Gnome does the same thing after the second time (Gnome freezes when it exits the first time.) It looks like this setup is getting all messed up, unfortunately.... |

I was having the exact same problem, and was also experiencing some incredibly long startup times for gkrellm (around 3 minutes). It turns out that both problems had the same origin...typed "fc-cache" in the terminal and immediatly gkrellm was starting faster than never, and Firefox didn't freeze any more (was it really freezed, or just incredibly slow as gkrellm?). Anyway, here is the original post with this solution https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-309525.html.
Hope it helps.. |

I have same problem, for my case my firefox ccrashes when I go copy and paste links to zip,iso files (something downloadable)
my meaning of crash here is that completly freeze, no erorr output what you got to do is killall firefox-bin
I remerged and tested with both mozilla-firefox and mozilla-firefox-bin too.
I sse many people having trouble with stableness of firefox.

I had this problem in the past; in my case, it was due to bugs in some version of gnome-vfs. |

I dont use gnome and I have latest version installed, am I safe to unmerge it?

As far as I know, that bug was fixed in recent versions. At least my firefox isn't freezing at the moment... I personally wouldn't unmerge stuff randomly, especially something like gnome-vfs, which tends to have other libraries compiled against it. |
