Galeon Crashes on Startup (debian bug #150221
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Often, when starting Galeon, it crashes before it really starts. The program does start to display, then poof! It's gone! If Galeon gets as far as displaying the homepage address in the address bar, it will be ok. If I don't see it almose immediately as the Galeon window appears, then it will "go away" 100% of the time. Galeon was installed via apt-get. I have seen this behavior in the past with all versions of Galeon tried here. I am running Debian Woody, updated daily. It is running on a Compaq Presario 4808 with a Maxtor 20 gig hard drive, and 80 megs of ram. Gnome 1.4 in use here. On this last install of Galeon, I wiped out the ~/.galeon folder to start afresh. I have seen the same thing happen with the latest Opera, but I can always say that the hard drive and/or CPU were under heavy use when it happens. With Galeon it will happen anytime, even during periods of hard drive/CPU inactivity. David
Without some specific details (a backtrace of the crash) or a way to reproduce your problem we cant do anything about it.
Created attachment 9404 [details] Extra info with the crash dump...
This looks like this debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/150221 and this galeon bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77278 which leads to yet another debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/141478 The reason for these are still not very clear. But as people say it probably has to do something with session management.
