11.3 - Firefox Hardlocks Box (duplicate mozilla packages???) [was Re: [opensuse] Kmail, Firefox and konsole do not run]

Hmm, Will,
This might be the same issue I am seeing after this mornings updates on 11.3 i586. Running k3, if I start firefox my box hardlocks. Have to power-off to recover - no ctrl+alt+anything, no ssh in - it's locked tighter than a drum. If i unplug the usb mouse and plug it back in -- it stays dead.
I have nothing but sane repos on this box. Are these the right versions?
I think so but I can't tell because you omitted the -d part of the zypper command and the Distribution part of the libkdecore4 rpm information.
I don't think KDE4 and Qt libraries can have much influence on Firefox on KDE 3 hard locking your box. To exclude that possibility, uninstall the KDE 4 firefox integration: mozilla-xulrunner191-kde4. It is probably something else related to the update, did it include a kernel update?

Will, I checked the box and there is no mozilla-xulrunner191-kde4. But something is definitely wrong with the mozilla package handling and RPM: 22:17 zephyr:~> rpm -qa | grep xulrunner mozilla-xulrunner191-gnomevfs-1.9.1.11-0.1.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner191-devel-1.9.1.11-0.1.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner192-1.9.2.10-0.4.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner192-gnome-1.9.2.10-0.4.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner191-1.9.1.11-0.1.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner192-devel-1.9.2.10-0.4.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner192-translations-common-1.9.2.10-0.4.1.i586 mozilla-xulrunner191-translations-common-1.9.1.11-0.1.1.i586 I also just tried again after today's updates. FF loads, but as soon as I typed 'down' to bring up 'http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/' FF locked the box again. From the look of the installed packages there are definitely duplicates that are probably causing the lock with conflicts. How did RPM let me install 2 versions? I'll go wipe out the mozilla install and reinstall and see if that fixes it. But the big question is how could this happen? I have just used yast and zypper to do updates on this box. I haven't installed any mozilla packages from any other source :( -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I see no duplicate packages. Everything looks fine above. The xulrunner packages are meant to be installable in parallel. You got Firefox 3.6 which is based on xulrunner 1.9.2 but we still had xulrunner 1.9.1 on the distribution for other applications to use its components. In case you already posted some of the information I'm going to ask for please sorry. I might have missed it. Do you see anything on the console when Firefox locks? (any kdecore error message might be unrelated). The package you were looking for is probably called mozilla-kde4-integration on your system btw. Do you use the default or oxygen theme (or any other)? Firefox just hangs, correct? If so, could you try to run in gdb and get a backtrace where it hangs? (http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=openSUSE:Bugreport_Mozilla) The fact that it hangs when you start typing the url bar could be interesting but not sure. Probably the places sqlite database is corrupted and sqlite hangs on it. Could you please try another profile?

Hi Wolfgang, thanks for the reply. I'll put my comments inline below: On 09/28/2010 12:09 AM, Wolfgang Rosenauer wrote:

None what so ever. When the lock occurs -- it is total and complete. Mouse freezes, keyboard freezes -> the box is dead. No ssh into it from the outside. The only thing to do is smash the power button for 5 secs to kill it. (It's my Tosh laptop so I can't just pull the plug :-)

I usually use either Blackfox, Blackfox Blue, Revelation (3.6.3), or Strike. I've used them all for at least a year w/o any issues.

See the "dead" box comment above.

No need - you hit the nail on the head above. it was mozilla-kde4-integration that was causing FF to crash under KDE3. Sheesh -- I should have known. It's running now -- can you think of anything else you want to see? If so, let me know. I'm glad to help. Also, while we are on the issue. Thunderbird (the latest in 11.3) has an issue when it offers to "Compact all folders" after you delete a few messages. If you use threaded mode, and choose "yes" to let it compact the folder, then it automatically switches to "unthreaded" mode. I don't know if this is from the SuSE additions or from Mozilla. It first appeared 2 versions ago, was fixed in the next-to-last version, but is broken again in: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.1.4 Thunderbird/3.1.4 I have a bug open with mozilla that has all the details.

Nice to know what caused it. But very annoying that this can hard lockup your whole system including remote access :-( This integration was never meant to run under KDE3 though (and I guess was never tested).

Yep, That's the issue. On work boxes, I've gone to no kde4 at all just to avoid problems the kde4 hooks cause in other desktops like gnome, flux, enlightenment, etc... I still run it on my laptop and on test boxes, but it is getting to the point that kde4 backend procs are so pervasive that it is difficult to keep kde4 backends from starting even under other desktops. Hopefully, the mozilla kde4-integration can get a makeover to fix it. Let me know if I can grab any other data from the 11.3 box that might help. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
