[opensuse] Firefox not starting

:~> which firefox /usr/bin/firefox
:~> firefox /usr/bin/firefox: line 52: /usr/bin/basename: Permission denied /usr/bin/firefox: line 73: /usr/bin/file: Permission denied /usr/bin/firefox: line 75: /usr/bin/grep: Permission denied /usr/bin/firefox: line 139: /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: Permission denied /usr/bin/firefox: line 139: /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: Success
So, if I edit the launcher to point directly to /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox it works.
/usr/bin/firefox is a link to a shell script, /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox.sh, which contains the following code:
--- code --- ## The script will setup all the environment voodoo needed to make ## mozilla work.
cmdname=`basename $0`
## ## Variables ## MOZ_DIST_BIN="/usr" MOZ_DIST_LIB="/usr/lib64/firefox" MOZ_APPNAME="firefox" MOZ_PROGRAM="$MOZ_DIST_LIB/$MOZ_APPNAME"
MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER="$MOZ_DIST_LIB/$MOZ_APPNAME.sh" if [ "$0" = "$MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER" ]; then [ -h "/usr/bin/$MOZ_APPNAME" ] && \ _link=$(readlink -f "/usr/bin/$MOZ_APPNAME") if [ "$_link" = "$MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER" ]; then export MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER="/usr/bin/$MOZ_APPNAME" fi else export MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER="/usr/bin/$MOZ_APPNAME" fi --- /code ---
There is other stuff, but ISTM the code quoted above should find the binaries and launch firefox when I just type 'firefox' on the command line.

You have very likely tried to confine /usr/bin/firefox with AppArmor. Is logprof showing events? Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Marcus, You're right: :~> sudo logprof root's password: Reading log entries from /var/log/audit/audit.log. Updating AppArmor profiles in /etc/apparmor.d.
