Nightly firefox crashes
My firefox seems to crash overnight on my work computer, without fail! version firefox-60.3.0-1.el7_5.x86_64 The error message in a terminal window re: IPDL protocol error: Handler returned error code! ###!!! [Parent][DispatchAsyncMessage] Error: PLayerTransaction::Msg_ReleaseLayer Processing error: message was deserialized, but the handler returned false (indicating failure) Bus error (core dumped) Cleaned the set-up, reinstalled extensions. I can find simiular error for firefox 56, but nothing similar for 60. Anyone got any ideas what causes this? Niels Prof. Niels R.

crash in xorg with latest update
We seem to be getting some clients (like mathematica) that can reliable crash X11 on our boxes with a Radeon card after a recent (kernel?) update. The system is running a fully udates SL 7.4. This seems to be linked to using glx. Anyone known what this is and whether there is a fix? Niels lspci: 1:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.

Dropbox relinking
Since a couple of weeks I have an issue with dropbox relinking almost(!) every time I start my SL7.2 box at home. I emailed dropbox support (I have a paid subscription) and get the answer that only fedora 19+ and ubuntu are supported. Before I decide that dropbox was the wrong solution, and turn to a cloud provider that supports RHEL7 and its variants, is there anything I should try? (I have deleted .dropbox and .dropbox-dist multiple times, reinstalled dropbox, installed the latest beta (which worked for a while), but nothing works right. I notice dropbox creates some log files in an unreadable format--anyone know a way to read that? My home directory is on an XFS fie system on my local hard drive, so none of the "standard" issues apply. Niels --- Prof. Niels R.

RE: devtoolset-4 eclipse dies on an up to date sl7 machine
I have got a bit further with this error; it appears to be essentially identical to this EL6 error https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1253552. The advice there is to recompile eclipse. After a bit of tweaking (instructions are rather minimal) I realise that fails (there seems to be an issue with osgi.jar not being installed in the right place). This may be due to me being forced to install xmvn from maven30, since devtoolset-4 doesn't provide xmvn, and eclipse needs it for compilation. Is there a bootstrap package I am missing (similar to https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hhorak/devtoolset-4-rebuild-bootstrap/)? Does anyone know how to do this? Niels --- Prof. Niels R.

devtoolset-4 recompilation
Is there any instruction anywhere how to recompile packages inside devtoolset-4? I tried to, but it fails on a missing dependency--of a number of installed devtoolset-4 packages...
