GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 616756
Epiphany crashes whenever a site using java is opened
Last modified: 2010-05-04 09:16:56 UTC
Created attachment 159503 [details] backtrace of epiphany's crash when displaying sites with java Overview/Steps to reproduce: When I open a site like google.de it is displayed correctyl but when I enter a site using java (e.g. www.klack.de) epiphany displays the site correctly and then (about a tenth of a second the site is displayed) crashes. I _think_ this bug appeared only after I upgraded to Kernel 2.6.33 -- but I'm not sure about since on that occasion I upgraded several other packages, too. Actual Results: When I ran epiphany from the console it gives me a Backtrace (see attachment) and after the next prompt it saies ``java version "1.6.0_18"''. Expected Results: The site should be displayed...

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 and reopen this bug or report a new one. Thanks in advance!

Comment on attachment 159515 [details] backtrace details epiphany Here is the exit of bug buddy with the debug symbols (or thats what I hope... is the firs time I try to do it)

I now compiled epiphany again -- this time from source -- and added the `-g' flag to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS and disabled stripping. Yet the output is quite similar to the one I have already submitted. I also installed bug-buddy but it did not want do tell me anything since I am not running a GNOME desktop...
Sorry but the stack trace does still not contain debug information, as far as I can see. Are you sure you launched the version you compiled yourself and not the version that is installed on the system (it could be still running in the background)?
Yes, I am sure: I deinstalled the old version before. Here are the compile/install-steps: $ export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -g" $ export CXXFLAGS="$CXXFLAGS -g" $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \ --localstatedir=/var \ --disable-scrollkeeper \ --enable-network-manager --enable-seed $ make $ make GCONF_DISABLE_MAKEFILE_SCHEMA_INSTALL=1 DESTDIR="~/tmp" install $ install -m755 -d "~/tmp/usr/share/gconf/schemas" $ gconf-merge-schema "~/tmp/usr/share/gconf/schemas/epiphany.schemas" --domain epiphany ~/tmp/etc/gconf/schemas/*.schemas $ rm -f ~/tmp/etc/gconf/schemas/*.schemas with CFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" then the files are put into the real direcotries (/usr/ etc) by root. Shall I try again with ./configure --enable-debug?
I tried it again -- with added `--enable-debug' -- and nothing new... I'm sorry; I really try to help.
I now tried some more browsers, and it might be interesting, that other ones, like _surf_, and _aurora_ crashed the same way. I appendet a `log' of surf; it looks quite similar to me...

Could this be related to the OpenJDK version? Bug 617475 appears to be similar.
Jap; I did also downgrade my openJDK from `openjdk6 6.b18_1.8-1' to `openjdk6 6.b17_1.7.3-1' and now everything works fine again. The browsers I tested and which crashed as well all used webkit (epiphany, arora, surf) -- the ones without webkit did work fine. I think this bug is identical to 617475 ...
