GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 82221
Prompt dialog crashes on Mandrake (gnome_icon_entry_get_type)
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Package: galeon Severity: major Version: 1.2.1 Synopsis: galeon crashes when server is not available Bugzilla-Product: galeon Bugzilla-Component: Mozilla interaction Description: Description of Problem: When I try to go to a non existing site/server, galeon crashes. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. go to ww.linuxtoday.com (note the 2 w) Actual Results: crash Expected Results: no crash How often does this happen? every time Additional Information: using Mandrakes galeon-1.2.1-2mdk, however I don't think it is related to Mandrake. If you have a look at the backtrace, you'll see that it crashed in gnome_icon_entry_get_type. The multi-gnome-terminal from multi-gnome-term.sf.net also crashed in this function call, however the MGT author said that he fixed this in his MGT CVS. Because of this, I do think that this is a bug in either Galeon or libgnomeui32. Debugging Information: Backtrace was generated from '/usr/bin/galeon-bin' (no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...[New Thread 1024 (LWP 16578)] [New Thread 2049 (LWP 16586)] [New Thread 1026 (LWP 16587)] [New Thread 2051 (LWP 16588)] [New Thread 3076 (LWP 16589)] [New Thread 4101 (LWP 16590)] 0x40a17019 in wait4 () from /lib/libc.so.6

------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2002-05-18 19:22 ------- Unknown version 1.2.x in product galeon. Setting version to the default, "unspecified". Reassigning to the default owner of the component, philipl@mail.utexas.edu.
Hmm, no, its not crashing in gnome_icon_entry_get_type this is just a part of the gnome crash dialog. The relevant thread backtrace ends too early to say where it crashed. the bug is not reproducable for me and others. Please reopen if you get more info on the crash
Sure that it is not crashing in gnome_icon_get_entry_type? Because other Gnome apps (like Evolution and the said multi-gnome-terminal) also show this function in their backtraces. And this crash does not happen to me alone but also to other people. Please reopen the bug, I can't :(
Yes I am fairly certain that its not crashing in gnome_icon_get_entry_type. But without more debugging information I cannot tell. And the bug is not reproducable here.
I'd like to give you the additional information you need - if you could please tell me how.
Full backtrace of the crash with full debugging information. This means running a debug galeon build under gdb.
I'll reopen the bug until someone investigates this

From the duplicate above ------- Additional Comments From Derek Jennings 2002-06-07 19:21 ------- Some aditional information for you. When I mentioned this bug on a Mandrake community site I got a response saying that Galeon would segfault during forms completion when started from the Mandrake KDE Menu, but would not segfault when started from a konsole or Desktop link to application. Sure enough I tried it out and it worked. The post said the reason was :- "This is due to Mandrake using soundwrapper to call the program. If you create a desktop link to galeon and simply use galeon as the command the segfaults stop." derek
Okay, thanks. There seems to be an issue with the soundwrapper script, because when I start Galeon directly, it doesn't crash. However, how can there be an issue? That's the script: #!/bin/sh if [ `/sbin/pidof artsd` ] ; then artsdsp "$@" else if [ `/sbin/pidof esd` ]; then esddsp "$@" else "$@" fi fi What can crash Galeon here? I'm using KDE, so Galeon get's started thru artsdsp.

Frederic: It seems the reason for galeon crashing is clear now.
*** Bug 84800 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Alexander, are you using by any chance Macromedia flash 5 plugin in galeon ?
Yes, I am.
Could you try reproducing this problem WITHOUT flash plugin installed ? I'm afraid this bug is duplicate of Mozilla bugs http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58937 or http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85772
