[opensuse-factory] Firefox won't start
Ever since updating to >= 3.0 Firefox, I get some variation of the following: rcc@Athelon:~> firefox returned PAC proxy string: direct *** nss-shared-helper: Shared database disabled (set NSS_USE_SHARED_DB to enable). ** (firefox:10537): WARNING **: AT-SPI: Accessibility bus not found - Using session bus. /usr/bin/firefox: line 128: 10537 Segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@" rcc@Athelon:~> Of course, this is from a command line, From the 'kicker', I just get the 'bouncing ball" with no error message, after 30 seconds, it just disappears with no firefox, no message, no nothing. To restore Firefox, I have to reinstall, 2.5.9 or earlier, then, it works again. Installing any version later than that results in failure to start. This is with 11.3 factory. uname -a Linux Athelon 2.6.34-rc5-6-default #1 SMP 2010-04-22 21:18:20 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux Updated 6 May Processor is an AMD 64 running 32bit Dual core mode 2 2G memory, LVM AND RAID 5 (4 drive x 1Tb) + 3 1Tb drives in the / and /home LVM. This all worked in 11.2 and 11.3 M4 and earlier until Firefox was updated beyond 2.5.9. Reverting Firefox causes the segfault to disappear, reinstalling the 3.+ (latest) restores the segfault. Now the squirrel...I have a virtually identical machine int the other room with similar hardware and also running factory, that works! ... but NFS won't run on it!!! The MBd is MSI but the CPU is an AMD...the MBD on this one is an ASUS. I have another one (ASUS) that I haven't upgraded yet...production machine, but another ASUS running 11.2 with no problems. So, far, I'm not sure whether it is the kernel interacting with Firefox or Firefox itself. Any Ideas?

Of course, this is from a command line, From the 'kicker', I just get the 'bouncing ball" with no error message, after 30 seconds, it just disappears with no firefox, no message, no nothing.

This is with 11.3 factory.

Ahh so i'm no the only one.. ;) sounds like: http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=600222 I haven't submitted a followup because i'm waiting to test M6 (downloadin' now...) -johnm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

There is no 3.5.x, only 3.5.x and 3.5.9 is indeed the latest on that branch. Are you sure you don't mean ">= 3.6" above and actually 3.5.9 later? I guess it's easier to talk about the right version numbers to find the errors. ;-) Robert Kaiser -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Try under a new user, to see if it is your user's configuration that is the problem. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Thank you Carlos... Fails under ROOT, RICREIG, RCCJ...the latter is new. Does not fail if I revert to 3.5.9 (I had a type when I reported (2).5.9 earlier...Parkinsons as a result of my stroke <frown>...plus this is reported by other users in a bugreport (unable to remember the number at the moment- sorry). Initially closed as "Worksforme", it reopened it as "doesn'tworkfore everyonedammit" It does work on a MSI mbd but not on my ASUS mbd, but strangely, I do have an ASUS mbd where it does work with same bios. All machines have minimum of 2G-4G RAM, all use 1-4TB raid 5 Plux LVM with at least 6 drives in the system, one machine with 9 drives, all use NFS, none use Ddoze/SMB. All use VBox when I need/wish other OS's for experimentation. All running M5/6 have problems with rsyslog (100% cpu usage on 1 core and if that job killed, then udevd starts running 100% instead which can be killed). If either rsyslog and/or udevd are killed, it has NO effect on the Firefox problem, eg, 3.5.9 and earlier ALL execute and run with no detected errors, all 3.6.x versions with M5/6 fail to execute after launch, eg, they start to launch and promptly segfault. This occurs even if run with 'firefox --fail- safe switches set as suggested. I did not open the original bug report so others have had this exact bug with the same exact error message(s). I wish I could see a pattern here. The error message reports a "line 128", which INFERS a "script" of some kind being invoked, and the firefox -d gdm dump refers thousands of times to everything BUT firefox (I put exerpts into the bugreport) in the hopes that this might be the common link.

/usr/bin/firefox is a script. The line that segfaults calls the Firefox binary. On my x86_64 system, that is /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
