GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 383926
crash in Epiphany Web Bookmarks: Launching Epiphany from ...
Last modified: 2006-12-21 00:15:11 UTC
Version: 2.16.2 What were you doing when the application crashed? Launching Epiphany from the command line. Launching from a launcher generates this same error. Arch upgraded Epiphany & gnome-vfs on my system today.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so. Thanks in advance! (looks similar to bug 379223, but is it a duplicate?)
An Arch dev told me to activate the debug symbols would require me to recompile a bunch a packages. Unfortunately this is beyond my knowledge base ATM. The Arch devs have rebuilt Epiphany against a newer version of Python (now build against 2.4.4 vs. old of 2.4.3). This does not solve my issue. Epiphany works if epiphany-extensions is not installed. As soon as epiphany-extensions is installed, when I launch Epiphany I get the crash as noted above. My comments in Arch bug tracker: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6029 My thread at the Arch forum: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=27648&highlight=
UPDATE: Uninstalled epiphany-extensions, epiphany, and iso-codes. Deleted epiphany folder from within .gnome2. Deleted epiphany folder from .gconf folder. Reboot. Reinstalled epiphany (iso-codes brought back in as a dep). Reinstalled epiphany extensions. Everything works now (?). Every extension I have activated (including the java console and favicon fallback) work without crashing epiphany. Something else I noticed...prior to my complete wipe of every thing epiphany related, when I would install epiphany-extensions the menu item 'Tools' was NOT being created. After my wipe and reinstall, the 'Tools" menu item is present. I would guess I had some weird problem with my preferences, but I had renamed the .epiphany folder before to force a new, clean, folder to be created. This did not solve the problem. Not sure what exactly I did, but hopefully this might provide some insight to the issue. Bob
Sounds like it's not a problem on our part, then. Thanks! :)
