Hi, running SuSEv9.2 with XFce4 4.2 here Could someone please explain to me how I go about tracking down the cause of Segmentation Faults that have started appearing in my web browsers? I usually use MozillaFirefox v1.0. I updated the video player "vlc" and all associated dependencies fro the Packman site using Synaptic. Everything went without error. Part of this update was the installation of the vlc mozillaplugin which I did not have before. I soft linked the plugin file to /usr/lib/browser-plugins as usual for mozilla updates. Now, I get nothing but Segmentation Fault when I try to run Firefox, Mozilla itself or Opera?! Konqueror is the only browser still kicking (and I do not like it). I will remove the plugin and its links to see if that is what caused this - I presume it is as it is the only web-related change I have made and they all worked yesterday? More generally though, especially if removing the plugin does not fix it, how does one go about tracking down the cause of a Segmentation Fault? Paul.

Paul. =========
Many times starting the program from the shell will give you quite a verbose listing of what is happening. Also, you seem to understand that removing the last things installed/setup, even your symlink, will put you back to the point that things worked correctly. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.7.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 Sign at college bookstore: Accepted at more colleges than you were--VISA
