 Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2005 8:03 pm Post subject: Firefox segfault on startup [solved] |
 |
|
Since I emerged mozilla-firefox-1.0.6-r4, it segfault on startup with the following message :
| Code: | firefox
No running windows found
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 119: 13946 Segmentation fault "$mozbin" "$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139) |
Also, when reinstalling it, I noted that the chrome registration process fails with a similar message at the end of the emerge, except that it's the regxpcom program that segfaulted.
I have tried everything I knew or found in the forum, revdep-rebuild, reinstalling firefox (same version and previous ones), unmerging firefox completly and removing what was left of /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox, deleting my ~/.mozilla, updating mozilla-launcher, I even tried rebooting... Nothing changed anything to it. I'm writing this from Konqueror, but I really want Firefox back 
Thanks for your help

| Are you emerging mozilla-firefox or mozilla-firefox-bin ebuild? |

| You might try using the binary ebuild temporarily to see if it makes any difference. That might help narrow it down to being either a problem with firefox itself or some missing/incorrect dependency on your system. |

That's one of the few things I haven't tried. With mozilla-firefox-bin, it works. I would like to be able to compile it tough, because new versions come faster on mozilla-firefox that mozilla-firefox-bin.
Thanks |

| If you have emerged gentoolkit, you might try running revdep-rebuild before emerging mozilla-firefox to see if any of your system libraries have been broken by some other package update. |

 Sorry. I see that you already mentioned that in your original post. |

Well, we are both guilty of the same crime here. I did not try revdep-rebuild while firefox was unmerged. Also, it printed the following :
| Code: | Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.1.4".
Result is not OK, you have following choices:
- if emerge failed during build, fix the problems and re-run revdep-rebuild
or
- use -X or --package-names as first argument (try to rebuild package, not exact
ebuild - ignores SLOT!)
or
- set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~<your platform>" and/or /etc/portage/package.unmask
(and remove /root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order to be evaluated again)
or
- modify the above emerge command and run it manually
or
- compile or unmerge unsatisfied packages manually, remove temporary files and
try again (you can edit package/ebuild list first)
To remove temporary files, please run:
rm /root/.revdep-rebuild*.?_*
|
Since the openoffice thing was before the recommandation to remove temporary files, I ignored it the first time. Now, there are plenty of broken stuff on my machine. I think it may have something to do with the packages I removed not long ago because they were listed in a
| Code: | | emerge --pretend --depclean |
We may be getting somewhere here  |

Yeah, I see it. It removed stuff I still needed, 4 libraries. Next I will reinstall mozilla-firefox instead of mozilla-firefox-bin. I hope this time it will work... Even on a Athlon XP 1700+, it takes time to compile... And those Athlon XP compile fast. It's the opposite of graphic manipulation where P4 are much faster.
I guess depclean dont consider USE flags that have been changed after the installation of a program, or something like that. |

I know this is offtopic, but I was wondering how long it actually takes to compile.
I have an AthlonXP 2800+. When I used to use kde, it would literally take 20 hours to build the whole thing. Then I switched to just kdebase. Now it's Fluxbox all the way. (yeah, I know it's probably the drive speed that slowed things down) |

I'm not shure, something around 20mins to 30mins.
I'm finished reinstalling the 4 libs. I will reinstall mozilla-firefow later, while I will be eating. |
