[Bug 637199] New: nspluginwrapper / npw-viewer fulls up a partition
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=637199 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=637199#c0 Summary: nspluginwrapper / npw-viewer fulls up a partition Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Joseph.Comfort@asu.edu QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723 SUSE/3.6.8-0.1.1 Firefox/3.6.8 I came back to my computer after some time and saw it was very busy -- odd. I had trouble gaining control. I found that the 10G home partition was almost entirely full. By using du, about 3G was for my work, and over 6G for xsession-errors. This file was filled with messages: *** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING:(/usr/src/packages/BUILD/nspluginwrapper-1.3.0/src/npw-viewer.c:1291):invoke_NPN_InvalidateRect: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(g_rpc_connection)) *** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING:(/usr/src/packages/BUILD/nspluginwrapper-1.3.0/src/npw-viewer.c:1291):invoke_NPN_InvalidateRect: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(g_rpc_connection)) *** NSPlugin Viewer *** WARNING:(/usr/src/packages/BUILD/nspluginwrapper-1.3.0/src/npw-viewer.c:1291):invoke_NPN_InvalidateRect: assertion failed: (rpc_method_invoke_possible(g_rpc_connection)) I was able to delete the file, log off, and log back in. It was close to a solid hang. Something really needs to be done about the npviewer-bin and related stuff. With a default installation, when I click to read a PDF file in firefox I can read the first one, but I have to pkill npviewer-bin before I can read another one, etc. Extremely annoying. I changed the application link for PDF files to xpdf. That helps. I think the npviewer-bin got loaded in this case from flash files. Even so, it should not endlessly put messages in a file and fill up a partition. I saw a discussion on a web archive somewhere regarding the identical message. In that case, the problem, apparently, was that the .dbus directory in the user's home directory was owned by root. In my case, this directory and all files below it are owned by me. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Not sure what is critical here. Default PDF reader in firefox changed to xpdf. 2. Saw some flash videos. 3. Walked away for a while. Actual Results: A one-time event, I hope. Will probably have to kill any npviewer-bin before walking away. Expected Results: No error messages; no failures; smoothly-performing system; happy user. -- 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.

The latter should silence all assertion failures on when connection fails. Fixes are available here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Asbrabec%3Abranches%3A... Binaries should appear here soon (please wait for packages with April time stamps): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/sbrabec:/branches:/X11:/comm... Please test whether these changes silence your errors: grep nspluginwrapper .xsession-errors | sort -u -- 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.
