I'm glad it works on everyone else's systems, but it doesn't work on mine. I did a fresh install of 9.0 and it worked before that.
How would one go about troubleshooting this? I'm totally frustrated.
... could be a couple of ways to do this, depending on your technical prowess :) a) execute moz/etc from the command line and see if anything shows up there, when it crashes b) execute moz/etc against 'strace', go to the site to induce a crash, then check the output of strace, as in: mtobler@stimpy:~> strace mozilla

OK, I ran /opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla.sh from a terminal window and got a message that no sound card was found. I've got an old Ensoniq VIVO card that Alsa doesn't support. I have to use an OSS driver. I tried setting up Alsa for a dummy card (/dev/null). Now Mozilla crashes with no message. BTW, when I had Yast perform a probe of soundcard chips, it locked the system. -- Jim Sabatke Hire Me!! - See my resume at http://my.execpc.com/~jsabatke Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.
