Description weilbach 2001-06-13 10:59:55 UTC

Package: galeon
Severity: critical
Version: 0.11.0
Synopsis: Crash during galeon startup
Bugzilla-Product: galeon
Bugzilla-Component: general

Description:
I compiled galeon from sources using the binary mozilla-0.9.1 distrib, and mozilla-devel-0.9.1-0 RPMs for RadHat 6.X. To circumvent the strange test

checking Mozilla version... 0.9.1
configure: error: 
   *** This version of Mozilla has a bug in libgtksuperwin that
   *** causes galeon to crash when used with tabbed mode.
   *** http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79022
   *** contains a patch (with a spelling error)
   *** s/gtk_window_remove_filter/gdk_window_remove_filter/.

I deleted the exit 1 in ./configure, as that error seems to be fixed in the distributed mozilla-0.9.1.

I am running on SuSE 6.2, but I think I have every (GNOME) library required (according to the README), compiled from Source.

Comment 1 Matt Aubury 2001-06-13 11:05:13 UTC

What versions of ORBit and OAF are you using? I have :
ORBit-0.5.8-ximian.2
oaf-0.6.5-ximian.3

Comment 2 weilbach 2001-06-13 11:15:30 UTC

I have ORBit-0.5.4 and oaf-0.6.5, both compiled from Sources.

Comment 3 Yanko Kaneti 2001-06-13 12:04:47 UTC

i would certainly suspect strongly the old ORBit
please upgrade to 0.5.8

Comment 4 weilbach 2001-06-13 12:51:28 UTC

That's not it. ORBit-0.5.8 installed, ldconfig, logout, login, and I
still get the bug-buddy crash window (backtrace info below). Which
components should I check next?

Comment 5 Matt Aubury 2001-06-13 14:10:19 UTC

I'm a teeny bit suspicious that the line numbers in orbit_poa.c
haven't changed; are you sure it hasn't installed itself in /usr/local
or something daft? Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, I
just want to be sure.

Comment 6 weilbach 2001-06-13 14:27:01 UTC

Sorry, I am not a programmer and do not really understand these
backtraces anyway. But it seems that orbit_poa.c has only changed in
lines 712 from 0.5.4 to 0.5.8:
$ diff -s src/orb/orbit_poa.c
../../../01UnInstalled/ORBit-0.5.4/src/orb/orbit_poa.c
712,713d711
< 		if(!retval)
< 	
	return NULL;

And it is indeed using 0.5.8 where I would expect it. While the
bug-buddy screen is up:
$ lsof | grep galeon | grep ORBit
galeon-bi 16010 weilbach  mem    REG        0,6  175947  608835
/otherfs/USW/packages/gnome/lib/libORBitCosNaming.so.0.5.8 
galeon-bi 16010 weilbach  mem    REG        0,6  946725  608594
/otherfs/USW/packages/gnome/lib/libORBit.so.0.5.8 
galeon-bi 16010 weilbach  mem    REG        0,6   45468  608686
/otherfs/USW/packages/gnome/lib/libORBitutil.so.0.5.8 

Any other tests I could do?

Comment 7 Matt Aubury 2001-06-13 15:40:35 UTC

I'm afraid I'm stumped :-( Changing product to ORBit in the vain hope
that the ORBit people will recognise the problem.

Comment 8 Elliot Lee 2001-09-11 04:22:06 UTC

Sorry, no clues here either. If you come up with a small test program 
that can reproduce the problem, I'll be glad to look into it.
