Mozilla will not run (mozilla-1.0-r1)

[SirronD]

I have to use my work computer to enter this (and its W2K and IE) This is a real problem!

Mozilla will not start. I just emerged mozilla-1.0-r1 (and waited hours for the compile) and now it won't start.

When I try to start using a term (Eterm or gnome-terminal) I see a big list as follows:

[Zu`]

Try mozilla-1.0-r2, that one works fine here

[AlterEgo]

[taskara]

did you un-emerge mozilla first ?

try:
emerge -C mozilla

then emerge mozilla

maybe delete that pti____.ttf file too ? or whatever it seems to get stuck on.

gl!

What's the first part of the message? try "mozilla 2>&1 | less" to be able to page the output.

[AlterEgo]

The install I did was on a clean system. XFree 4.2.0-r12

mozilla 2>&1 | less produces no readable output,

it's a page full of:
"
"
"

etc

[delta407]

Then try mozilla > ~/mozilla.log 2>&1, and run less on it

[AlterEgo]

[delta407]

That's weird... if that command doesn't give you any output, then mozilla isn't saying anything to the console.

What happens when you just type "mozilla"?

[AlterEgo]

NOTHING: :( I do get an strace:
(sorry about the lenghtm I don't know what to make of it)
It must have something to do with font selection.

What happens when you run /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin directly?

[AlterEgo]

OK: start again from scratch: GCC2.95; fresh XFree 4.2-r12; Mozilla 1.0-r2. Installation went fine.

Afterwards Mozilla does not start at all: no error messages (as already stated above)

What's wrong I feel there's something wrong with this Mozilla ebuild; possibly in combination with Xfree 4.2-r12.
Please help !

[SirronD]

This is with mozilla 1.0-r2.
I started with a working mozilla.

I added a new directory "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
I copied all my windows .ttf files into this directory.
I did ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir in this directory
I changed my /etc/X11/fs/config and added the new directory.
I rebooted. And the system (gdm/gnome) came up perfectly.

But mozilla would not work. I recieved the same "scanning...glyphs..." messages that are listed above.

I changed my /etc/X11/fs/config and removed the reference to my new truetype directory and rebooted.

mozilla still would not work. It seems mozilla was still looking at my /usr/share/fonts/truetype directory even though /etc/X11/fs/config did not.

I removed the new directory. And mozilla WORKS.

So I conclude that there is/are some font(s) in my new "truetype" directory that mozilla can't handle. But there are no messages pointing me to what font's are useable or unusable. And adding each font and restarting mozilla 1 at a time is not an option with a large number of fonts.

I'll keep trying (as I need/want those windows .ttf fonts) and I would like to have a working browser at the same time.

[AlterEgo]

Cool, thanks SirronD

that's a useful step.
However, probably since my Mozilla never worked, I cannot re-set some parameters, because after removing the TTF anf truetype diectories as you suggested, Mozilla still fails.

Removing Mozilla and re-installation did not do the trick (but it does keep you off the streets....)

Is it possible to reset the Mozilla configuration back into the state it was in just after installation ?
I want it to re-read its font config, and try again.

[SirronD]

On my second attempt (with mozilla 1.0 r2) I started with only the TTF fonts from gentoo (becuase I had to rebuild my gentoo system from scratch - another issue), and mozilla worked. Only when I tried to add new TTF fonts (from my windows system) did mozilla die. That is why I suspect it is an issue with these new fonts and mozilla.

When I first started this post I had a system that already included the windows ttf fonts when I emerged the r1 build of mozilla 1.0. Mozilla would not work. At that time, I did not know it could be my "extra" ttf fonts that were causing the problem.

If you can identify the "non-gentoo supplied" (for lack of a better term) TTF fonts, and remove them, I suspect that mozilla will start to work.

Also, if you unmerge mozilla, and install the binary build from mozilla.org, it will work with the extra fonts (but apparently without AA).

I did add a bugzilla report to mozilla.org about this issue (but I don't know if they will do anything as it may be some compile configuration issue with the gentoo ebuild script)

[AlterEgo]

It's a gentoo bug......

i just compiled Mozilla from source "by hand", and it works like a charm.
