Package: iceweasel Version: 3.0.1 Severity: normal It is a diskless Lenny booted from NFS: base system, xorg, Iceweasel 3. After booting up, the system auto-login as a normal user at tty1, and startx, and then load Iceweasel/Firefox.
Unfortunately and quite strangely, Iceweasel/Firefox 3.0.1 will not show up its window though we can see the process firefox-bin from top or ps command (I remotely login into the system via ssh for investigation), until we move around the mouse or strike the keyboard for several times. And after that everything works every well. Say, even after I quiting Iceweasel to let down X Window, I can still successfully reload Iceweasel using startx, no hang up. We have tested Firefox 3.0.1 binary downloaded from official www.firefox.com . The same result. Expected behavior: Iceweasel quickly shows up its window after system started up without any mouse or keyboard input. It works fine if Lenny start from local FS/storage. The bug doesn't exist on Etch (Iceweasel/Firefox 2.0.0.16), either local or NFS boot. Some important files for the startup procedure: 1. /etc/inittab 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --autologin debuser tty1 2. ~debuser/.bash_profile # swith to X Window if [ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && [ `tty` = /dev/tty1 ]; then startx fi 3. cat ~debuser/.xinitrc xterm -e top & firefox http://www.linuxtoday.com 4. As to the NFS boot, the tftp and NFS server run on CentOS 4.x (Linux kernel 2.6.9). NFS exports: # cat /etc/exports /pxeclient/ws02 192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async) #Notes, I tried the sync option for NFS server, still bad. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
