Excuse my ignorance - I take it I need to
o start firefox normally
o run gdb as above
o invoke the crash situation
1. If I were you, I'd go for the safer path and assure myself that I
don't use a system (OS apps) built with unusual compiler flags.
2. Try to use a pre-built Ff package from ftp.freebsd.org and see if
the problem still occurs.
3. Actually, to get a core file, the steps are:
- as a regular user open a console, make sure you are in a directory
with write permissions (${HOME} is ok) and launch firefox
- open another console, note the pid of firefox-bin and type the above
command (gdb /path/to/ff-bin pid) but don't press Enter yet
- try to fry the CPU again. If succeeded, press Enter in the gdb
console and get a full backtrace.
- alternately, if you can't attach to the process, try to send SIGABRT
when it goes crazy.
o then ... ?
I'm just hoping that there's enough cpu left to save something at that
point!
options SCHED_ULE # ULE scheduler
Do you need SCHED_ULE? Try SCHED_4BSD instead, Ff is very picky when
it comes to threads.
I probably don't - I added this after reading /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES
and it hadn't bitten me until maybe now. I'll recompile the kernel
with SCHED_4BSD before I carry on.
You should also consider rebuilding Firefox without optimizations.
Trying to use compiler optimizations for Gecko-based applications is the
perfect recipe for trouble :)

When the machine hangs, even the keyboard is non functional eg scroll lock won't light. I have USB keyboard/mouse. I'd appreciate any tips for diagnosis/recovery. I've appended the most relevant configuration information. I've already rebuilt and installed kernel/world to ensure I'm up to date, and portupgraded as much as practicable. I should note that I haven't changed my build options for firefox since pre-crash, either. regards, -- Joel Hatton -- Infrastructure Manager | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland| WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Firefox options: # This file is auto-generated by 'make config'. # No user-servicable parts inside! # Options for firefox-1.5.0.4,1 _OPTIONS_READ=firefox-1.5.0.4,1 WITH_NEWTAB=true WITHOUT_SMB=true WITHOUT_DEBUG=true WITH_LOGGING=true WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=true 6.1-RELEASE-p1 Information for xorg-server-6.9.0_4: Depends on: Dependency: expat-2.0.0_1 Dependency: pkgconfig-0.20_2 Dependency: pkg-config-0.20_2 Dependency: libdrm-2.0.1_1 Dependency: freetype2-2.1.10_3 Dependency: fontconfig-2.3.2_5,1 Dependency: xorg-libraries-6.9.0 Information for firefox-1.5.0.4,1: Depends on: Dependency: libiconv-1.9.2_2 Dependency: expat-2.0.0_1 Dependency: gettext-0.14.5_2 Dependency: jpeg-6b_4 Dependency: pkgconfig-0.20_2 Dependency: pkg-config-0.20_2 Dependency: png-1.2.8_3 Dependency: freetype2-2.1.10_3 Dependency: popt-1.7_1 Dependency: perl-5.8.8 Dependency: glib-2.10.2 Dependency: nspr-4.6.1 Dependency: nss-3.11_1 Dependency: fontconfig-2.3.2_5,1 Dependency: libxml2-2.6.24 Dependency: libdrm-2.0.1_1 Dependency: xorg-libraries-6.9.0 Dependency: libXft-2.1.7_1 Dependency: tiff-3.8.2 Dependency: xorg-fonts-encodings-6.9.0_1 Dependency: shared-mime-info-0.17_1 Dependency: bitstream-vera-1.10_2 Dependency: libIDL-0.8.6_2 Dependency: atk-1.11.4 Dependency: xorg-fonts-truetype-6.9.0 Dependency: hicolor-icon-theme-0.5 Dependency: glitz-0.4.4_1 Dependency: desktop-file-utils-0.11 Dependency: cairo-1.0.4 Dependency: pango-1.12.2 Dependency: gtk-2.8.17 My current kernel config file: machine i386 cpu I686_CPU ident GX260 options SCHED_ULE # ULE scheduler options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options INET# InterNETworking options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists options UFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories options NFSCLIENT # Network Filesystem Client options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS# Pseudo-filesystem framework options GEOM_GPT# GUID Partition Tables. options COMPAT_43 # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 options SCSI_DELAY=5000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options KTRACE # ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real-time extensions options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV# install a CDEV entry in /dev options ADAPTIVE_GIANT # Giant mutex is adaptive. options IPFIREWALL #firewall options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE #enable logging to syslogd(8) options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE # Include this file in kernel options TCP_DROP_SYNFIN #drop TCP packets with SYN+FIN device apic# I/O APIC device pci device fdc device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives options
Re: anyone notice firefox crashes a lot with BSD+KDE
My firefox (1.0.7) takes a long time to start up. I have the sessionsaver extension installed and have several tabs open at all times. Sometimes it seems as if firefox loads the pages in all the tabs BEFORE the GUI has a chance to display the window. Did anyone improve upon this behavior? Firefox for MSWin seems to instantly display the window with empty tabs and then starts loading the pages. It may be a matter of personal preference, but if I had a choice, I'd want the latter behavior.

firefox crashes after upgrade to R5.4
Hi, After successful upgrade to R5.4 via buildworld/installworld on my amd64/R5.3 machine, everything works quite well except that the firefox-1.0.3 crashes whenever I try to use find (Ctrl-f) or access to localhost for samba administration. The firefox window got closed immediately and core-dump without leaving any other trace when either of the above events take place. Anyone has any idea? Thanks in advance. James __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: firefox crashes after upgrade to R5.4
Check to make sure you don't have a /etc/libmap.conf setup with mappings for firefox-- let it use the default. --mark On May 10, 2005, at 10:26 AM, Hou Ian wrote: --- Kent Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 10 May 2005 06:59 am, Hou Ian wrote: Hi, After successful upgrade to R5.4 via buildworld/installworld on my amd64/R5.3 machine, everything works quite well except that the firefox-1.0.3 crashes whenever I try to use find (Ctrl-f) or access to localhost for samba administration.

Re: firefox crashes after upgrade to R5.4
Thanks mark but that didn't help. My libmap.conf file only contains the following two lines and I don't think any of them is for firefox. # candidate mapping libm.so.2 libm.so.3 Though there's no libmap.conf in my /etc/defaults folders, the timestamp on this libmap file shows quite certainly that it is a default one without my modification or changes from the upgrade process. I even tried to rename the file to something else to see how things go but the results are the same as before. --- mark wolgemuth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Check to make sure you don't have a /etc/libmap.conf setup with mappings for firefox-- let it use the default. --mark On May 10, 2005, at 10:26 AM, Hou Ian wrote: --- Kent Stewart [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Tuesday 10 May 2005 06:59 am, Hou Ian wrote: Hi, After successful upgrade to R5.4 via buildworld/installworld on my amd64/R5.3 machine, everything works quite well except that the firefox-1.0.3 crashes whenever I try to use find (Ctrl-f) or access to localhost for samba administration.

If firefox is like mozilla, then you can make the port with debugging make WITH_DEBUG=1 That might a) give you more info about what happens just before it crashes and b) give you a -g executable you can use with your core file. The only other question is, did you update gnome recently, and did you follow the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING? --look for 20050312. Only guessing mind. My last attempt at thunderbird crashed constantly -- far more often than your firefox. I just gave up. Also, be warned that with debugging, mozilla beeps quite a lot as it seems to fail assertions doing just about anything. Not very accurate assertions, I guess ;) Also, you may need to tweak or delete /var/db/ports/firefox/options when you want to recompile without debugging again. That one caught me out, and mozilla is *still* beeping like a mad thing. --Alex ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
