seamonkey freezes

2017-08-27 Thread JD John Doran 

ladies / gentlemen -
my version of seamonkey often freezes when exploring 
multiple open tabs simultaneously.
according to task manager, seamonkey begins commanding ever 
larger shares of memory
and cpu cycles which i attribute to the pop-up blocker 
inherent in the software.
or maybe ad-blocker keeps stacking requests until available 
ram memory is exhausted.
either way, i have to shut down the seamonkey process using 
task manager process window
and restart my e-mail reader, and usually the processes 
resume where i left off.
often, that, too, will stack seamonkey tab requests and i 
must return to task manager.
i am running an updated version of windows xp pro 3.1 
(latest updates applied).
seamonkey is the most current iteration available, with all 
applicable updates.

suggestions ?  jd

Weird!! I no longer have freeze ups after saving something. I didn't 
change anything! Maybe apt-get update and upgrade changed something 
recently. I will follow-up if it happens again. Computers are strange!

Now what? I don't know how to use this gdb thing. :(

I don't know much more there either but the next step should be entering
"run". Then, for crash bugs, the next command after that would be "bt"
for getting a backtrace. Since in your case SM freezes I don't know
whether killing SM will give you similar results but you may try
pressing Ctrl+C in the console window instead of killing SM by other
means. Anyway, as the "(no debugging symbols found)" indicates, your SM
is stripped so you probably won't get meaningful results anyway. You'd
have to use a version compiled with debugging support but I'm not sure
whether those are available or you need to compile yourself. If you
installed SM using packages for your distribution it may be worth a try
to search for a matching package providing debugging symbols.

Thanks. Yeah, I can't find any Debian packages for SeaMonkey and Debian
dropped IceApe that is another name for SeaMonkey.

Oh well. I think my next plan is to try a new profile. Does anyone know
how to launch that under Linux like in Windows?

$ ./seamonkey -P

[mind the caps]

You can also do the same from your running SeaMonkey: Tools|Switch Profiles

You can also rename your .mozilla folder to something else temporarily,
then run seamonkey and it will create a new one. After you test you can
switch back.


In Ubuntu, adding the -ProfileManager switch to the shortcut that 
launches SeaMonkey will bring up Profile Manager, exactly as on Windows,


I think your first advice is best, use Tools>>Switch Profiles.

Lee


$ ./seamonkey -P

does just that. Both work.


Thank you. :)

Use the -debug command line switch.

seamonkey -debug


I will try that later on my local machine (don't want to do it over 
SSH). Weird that I didn't see -debug listed:

$ ./seamonkey --help
Usage: ./seamonkey-bin [ options ... ] [URL]
   where options include:

X11 options
--display=DISPLAY   X display to use
--sync  Make X calls synchronous
--no-xshm   Don't use X shared memory extension
--xim-preedit=STYLE
--xim-status=STYLE
--g-fatal-warnings  Make all warnings fatal

SeaMonkey options
-height  Set height of startup window to .
-h or -help Print this message.
-installer  Start with 4.x migration window.
-width   Set width of startup window to .
-v or -version  Print ./seamonkey-bin version.
-CreateProfile Create .
-P Start with .
-ProfileWizard  Start with profile wizard.
-ProfileManager Start with profile manager.
-SelectProfile  Start with profile selection dialog.
-UILocale   Start with  resources

-contentLocale  Start with  resources

-remoteExecute  in an already running
SeaMonkey process.  For more info, see:

-splash Enable splash screen.


Also, how can I output the debug into a log file if they are shown on 
screen?

I did watch top when saving my files. No CPU usage and memory usage

I will also try a new profile. How do I make a new profile? I don't have
