Hmmmm. my Mozilla 1.4 (installed from 9.0 CD) and Firebird 0.7 are still crashing. This doesn't happen if I remove the two flash files from the plugins directory. 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?

... 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.

OK, I ran strace on Mozilla. The output is a bit over 14K lines. Here are the last couple. Can anyone help? write(35, "\3\0\2\0\1\0`\3\16\0\2\0\1\0`\3", 16) = 16 read(35, "\1\0b\0\3\0\0\0\"\0\0\0\1\0\1\1\377\377\377\377\0\0\0\0"..., 32) = 32 read(35, "\377\377O\0\377\377\17\0\0\0\261\10", 12) = 12 read(35, "\1\17c\0\0\0\0\0:\0\0\0\0\0\0\0 \3\271\0\1\0\0\0\330&\261"..., 32) = 32 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- unlink("/home/jim/.mozilla/default/sovybv6z.slt/lock") = 0 exit_group(11) = ? -- 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.

Jim,

If by removing the plugins from your mozilla plugins directory cures the problem, try this:

Make both plugins a link to the the plugins located at /usr/lib/browser-plugins. Seems having links rather than the actual plugin works best with Mozilla. In looking at your other plugins, I think you might find most are links anyway.

The command to use is: ln -s (real plugin) (link plugin)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd already tried that. I think it's a soundcard problem. -- 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.
