Been using 10.2 for a month now on two pc's and a laptop at work, and
the kids pc at home. Yesterday I upgraded (boxed DVD) my main pc at
home, and now have an issue with firefox termination.
The kids ssh -X into "master", then launch evolution, firefox, etc in a
shell. They immediately complained that firefox would not open.
It appears that when they would close ffox, it would fail to remove
firefox-bin, and I would have to remove it manually. I was able to
duplicate it by "sux - (kid-user)", and then randomly found it would
fail to terminate from my own console launch.
All other programs launched through the shell by them terminate
properly, it seems to only be an issue with firefox if console-launched.
We just discovered that if launched in foreground, they can then issue a
ctrl-C to finish the termination...an easy work-around. They can tell
when it hangs, since they don't get their prompt back.
thpnalb@master:~> uname -a
Linux master 2.6.18.2-34-default #1 SMP Mon Nov 27 11:46:27 UTC 2006
i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
Perhaps this will clear up once I pull the updates through my (ugh)
modem...sound familiar?
