Basically Firefox is using libcanberra to play a WAV but it would be interesting in which lib the crash actually happens exactly. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I found a setting that looked promising, but sadly it made no difference when I typed gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.sound event-sounds false I also tried to replicate the problem on Opensuse 12.2 and failed, so that is encouraging, though no use on systems running 12.1. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm running openSUSE 12.2 64-bit, bug applies to both v16 and v17 of Firefox. See Firefox bug report here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=816263 http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-05ec6786-4350-4ad3-b1d4-73ab6... http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-ad12189c-d776-4394-a04e-8fa8a... Response: There are no Firefox components in the stack trace. It's caused by Gnome's Canberra library. Check your library is up-to-date and if it is, file a bug in Gnome.

He suggested a bug report for Gnome, I don't want to keep opening bug reports at random places since I've only tested it on openSUSE on 1 machine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I also tried to replicate the problem on Opensuse 12.2 and failed, so that is encouraging, though no use on systems running 12.1.
That's encouraging :) in openSUSE 12.1 we ship libcanberra 0.28, in 12.2 it is libcanberra 0.29; I'll see if I can find some. it MIGHT be this commit: http://git.0pointer.de/?p=libcanberra.git;a=commitdiff;h=fb9342952eb91e7542f... (which, if XID does not exist is 0, which might result in the NUL pointer we see). But then: the last comment says he uses 0.29 already and has the problem :( @Adrian, Bob: if I spin up a 0.28 package with the commit mentioned above, would you be able and willing to test? (Well, anyway: test packages with this patch are available in this repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dimstar:/branches:/openSUSE:... ) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
