Firefox Segmentation Fault with "Simple" theme
Last modified: 2005-10-21 19:30:19 UTC
Distribution/Version: Mandrakelinux 10.0 (gcc 3.3.2) You must use the "Simple" theme and then launch firefox (garnome firefox or official build). Output: firefox-1.0.1/run-mozilla.sh: line 451: 26236 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
"...me too..." I can confirm I am getting this, building firefox 1.0.2 on LFS 6.0 using GCC 3.4.3 however my error reads; firefox-1.0.2/run-mozilla.sh: line 159: <pid> Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"} Where <pid> is the process id that crashed, not sure why I get a different line number than the original reporter. I have not yet gotten all of gnome2.10.0 built so am trying to test firefox in X.org 6.8.2 under twm when the error ocurrs. I have installed in /opt/gnome2.10.0 I have instrumented the run-mozilla.sh script to tell me what $prog is and iirc it was /opt/gnome2.10.0/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox-bin If I try to run /opt/gnome2.10.0/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox-bin without using the script /opt/gnome2.10.0/bin/firefox it segfaults, so I suspect the issue is with the firefox binary produced, what is the best cause of action. Install gdb and run firefox under gdb, install strace and run firefox under strace? Mark
If I use Industrial theme Firefox works fine, but, If I use Simple theme, Firefox crashes with a segfault.
> You must use the "Simple" theme and then launch firefox (garnome firefox or > official build). If I read comment #1 correctly, the same issue occurs with the distro provided Firefox. Which makes me wonder if this is GARNOME related. Just checked with theme "Simple". GARNOME 2.10.0.x on Mandrake 10.0. No crashes, WORKSFORME. Consider this FIXED. Changing status to NEEDINFO for now. $ which firefox /opt/gnome-2.10/bin/firefox $ firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 1.0.1, Copyright (c) 2004 mozilla.org
Does this still happen with garnome-2.12.1 (firefox 1.0.7)
Bob, Under Gnome 2.12.1 (GARNOME) I have no problems building firefox-1.0.7 and am writing this reply from it. $ which firefox /opt/gnome2.12.1/bin/firefox $ firefox --version Mozilla Firefox 1.0.7, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2005 mozilla.org Mark bug as FIXED? Regards, Mark Carey
Thanks Mark!!! :)
