The same thing happens: mozilla is too slow to be useable. It takes many second, a minute pehaps, just to refresh a screen. In the past, this machine has been used for a lot of computational work. It runs netscape up to version 3.x reasonably fast. Netscape is also very slow, by still faster than mozilla. Anyhow, netscape now segfaults, perhaps after some libc6 upgrade, just notice it because I don't launch unless it is absolutely necessary.

So I've tried extracting some files from potato and setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH for Netscape to see them first. All the necessary libraries seem to be in libc6_2.1.3-18 and xlib6g_3.3.6-11potato32 (except libstdc++.so.2.8, it's an older compatibility library, so it shouldn't depend on glibc 2.2). When I run netscape with these libaries in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I still get this error: /usr/local/netscape/netscape: error while loading shared libraries: /home/kels/glibc2.1.3/lib/libc.so.6: symbol _dl_debug_impcalls, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference I think this is due to the fact that it is still finding /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (ld-2.2.2.so) instead of the potato version (ld-2.1.3.so). The clue given by ldd: % ldd /usr/local/netscape/netscape libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x5002c000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x50092000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x500ab000) libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x500d1000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x500f7000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x50116000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x50135000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x50231000) libstdc++.so.2.8 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 (0x50244000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x50298000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x5032e000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x5000) So /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is the only one that has the full path specified. I'm not sure how to get around that without breaking other things. Probably something clever could be done with chroot, but my cursory attempt went nowhere. Probably it would be easier to downgrade to potato altogether. Any other insights? Kelsey -- Kelsey Jordahl

It seems to be a glibc issue, Netscape compiled it against 2.0 and I have 2.2 on my Woody system. What version of Debian are you running? Perhaps something can be done for compatibility with the old libraries (see /usr/doc/libc6/FAQ.gz). I'll play with that tonight. Another option that many people seem to be able to do is to run the SunOS binary under Linux. Unfortunately I haven't been able to try this yet, as I still need at least one more SunOS library (libdl.so) for emulation. I've found the other libraries in sunsolve patches since I haven't been able to restore my SunOS dump tapes (someone on this list recommended www.sun3arc.org, but they seem to have only sun3 architecture libraries which do not work). I can sure say that Mozilla is far too slow to be usable on an SS5. Netscape would be nice. -- Kelsey Jordahl

I telnet to the Sparc box, start the program, let it load the start page and then move to another virtual desktop. When I get back to the original virtual desktop the mozilla window takes minutes to refresh. Same thing with Netscape. Sometimes it takes a while to happen, visit a couple of pages with images and you will be able to reproduce it. If I do then a netstat, the send queue on the Sparc side of the conection to the X display (I only use a remote window) is big (> 40k). And it takes forever to drain. When it does drain the window starts to show but for a simple page it might take ten or fifteen minutes before that happens. Meanwhile an xclock running on the Sparc is changing the display every second without any problem and the send queue is always empty. It might be a kernel problem. Obviously Netscape is working fine and does know how to redraw itself, but for some reason the data gets stuck at the TCP connection and does not go out or does really slow. Since xclock works I think the problem might be related to the amount of information Netscape tries to send. I only have 64M of memory, but I don't think that is the problem. It might be the network card too ... Janice, are you using the kernel 2.2.18pre21? Eduardo.

Web browsers (nowadays) are total pigs. If you have a really hot Ultra, it _might_ run acceptably. On a Sun4m, it's unusable, as you've noticed.

Till now I thought it was me when I compiled X on my own, maybe I forgot to set an option or so (I didn't set any options). I tried other version of Mozilla, they're incredibly slow, too. My Mozilla is from mozilla.org, but there aren't any newer sparc packages anymore. I've got an Ultra1 running Debian/Woody pretty fine. Anyone a clue what's up here?

Mozilla on sparc
Both the stable Mozilla and the one at pandora.debian.org/~robots101/mozilla run incredibly slow on my Sparc Station 4m. Other X applications seem to run OK, but Mozilla just crawls so that it seems it is not working. I always use a remote display, but for other applications that works alright. Any ideas on that, is it happening to anybody else? I run Debian 2.2r3. Eduardo.
