Hi List-members,

From time to time I notice Thunderbird warnings of this kind:

Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:331

Wonder what is producing that and why.

Beside this warning, I noticed system freezes using Thunderbird whenever I launch email folder compacting.

Thanks for your attention.

Cheers,

Hi Marco,

I can see from your headers that you're running an x86_64 Linux and Thunderbird 11.0, but you should always provide the version number of openSUSE your question applies to, and, in this case it helps to know where your version of Thunderbird came from. Is it one prepared by openSUSE specifically for the distribution that you're running? If not, where did the Thunderbird package come from and how did you install it?

With that out of the way, some quick Googling of your error message components seems to indicate the problem is related to this script:

XPCOMUtils.jsm https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript_code_modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm

If you're running a 'vanilla' package from mozilla.org and /not/ running one obtained from the openSUSE community, your question is probably out of the scope of this list ... other than for me to offer the standard recommendation that, whenever possible, you install openSUSE specific packages.

regards,

Carl

Ah, yes, I now see your signature after scrolling down! ;-) First, you wrote "from time to time" ... does this mean at random, whenever the program decides to misbehave, or are there always actions that you are taking (in addition to compacting folders,) which appear to trigger this? It seems to be a generic 'get resource' error that is occurring in XPCOMUtils.jsm on line 331 Is the file listed when you run 'rpm -ql MozillaThunderbird | grep XPCOMUtils' ? If so, can you 'cat' or 'less' or 'vi' (or otherwise read-only open) the file to see if anything helpful appears at, or near, line 331? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The XPCOM is not listed if I issue the repm -ql command.

I said "time to time" because freezing and warnings are happening randomly.

I am able to reproducing a system freeze/slowness if I deliberately execute a "compact folder" on my IMAP account.

I will try to do your last recommendation by opening XPCOMUtils.jsm on line 331 (wonder where this //gre/modules/ folder is located inside file-system?)

FWIW, on my system (11.4) 'locate XPCOMUtils' yields: ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/gecko/1.1.0/wine_gecko/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/syswow64/gecko/1.1.0/wine_gecko/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.2.28/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm /usr/lib64/xulrunner-2.0.1/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm BTW, have you checked your logs 'just in case' to rule out hard drive / filesystem issues? as user: 'dmesg | grep /dev' as root: 'cat /var/log/messages | grep /dev' [or /dev/sd or /dev/hd] -- Carl E.

XPCOMUtils.jsm is within the omni.ja archive located in the Thunderbird install directory. At first glance I'm not sure what that could be but my internet access is very limited at the moment so hard to debug and check all resources. Do you have complete error message about line 331? The warning you quoted seems to lack an actual message. For the "hangs" you might be affected by bug 755060. You could check by installing 11.0.1 from the mozilla repo.

First of all I have a question: do I have to install xulrunner or not?

No. All needed files are in MozillaThunderbird.

I use to set Mozilla repo for updates as normally it has newer versions but recently I've seen a warning for a reccomended patch installation about Mozilla so I switched back to OpenSuse repo.

Yeah :-( Sometimes the patches contain higher release numbers because of build counters. In almost every case this is just a bogus warning as the stuff in mozilla is at least at the same level as the official updates. (As updates are prepared there and submitted when ready.)

I will give it a try to update to 11.0.1 from Mozilla.

btw dmesg has not errors/warnings related.

Sorry, it's just a habit ;-) 'cat /var/log/messages ...' and 'dmesg' are like a knife and fork or hinges and handle in my long term memory.

Yes Carl,

I would add "a long term memory" which is always helpful and an efficient way to locate the problem.

Cheers,

I guess that the major unresponsiveness/slowness registered on my system was indeed Tracker-related, then I disabled this Gnome indexer and I will check again what happens.
