[Bug 367706] Re: Firefox and epiphany won't start. "Bus error"
Ubuntu 9.04 desktop AMD64. mrtvfuencxozd 's solution of downgrading xulrunner from 1.9.0.11 to 1.9.0.8 fixed it for me. This morning I had a hang in the middle of an update so that probably had a good deal to do with it. all apt-get suggestions for reinstalling firefox didn't work, but the above via synaptic package manager ended up getting it going again. Symptoms of the problem were the same as mentioned by others... try to load Firefox normally and the load aborts with no error. Running firefox from terminal window shows "bus error." -- Firefox and epiphany won't start.

@has, @kubismo Can you try the following to see if it fixes your problem? sudo apt-get --reinstall install firefox-3.0 xulrunner-1.9 @Gareth Jones Well, at least we know it was a problem with the program files and not the profile.

[Bug 367706] Re: Firefox and epiphany won't start. "Bus error"
Okay, a clean reinstall from the CD fixed all the errors. I then installed the updates, no crash this time, and they all succeeded. The latest Firefox/xulrunner now runs normally. /home is on a separate partition and was not touched by the reinstall, so I should be using the same user-configuration files as before. In my case I think there must have been some file corruption, although which file would apparently only affect xulrunner, and yet persist across reinstalls of the Mozilla packages, I've no idea. The other possibility is that some in-between updates that were skipped this time somehow affected the update process, which could explain why some other people are seeing the bus error.

[Bug 367706] Re: Firefox and epiphany won't start. "Bus error"
I've already tried that here in Synaptic, but here's a log of apt-get's output when run from a terminal. The problem persists. I'm going to try a straight reinstall and update, because at the moment I can't tell if this is a bug in the xulrunner package, or an artefact of some sort of corruption due to the crash. I suspect there may be multiple issues on this machine at the moment, so it'll be more useful if I can separate them. ** Attachment added: "apt-get log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28111920/terminal.log -- Firefox and epiphany won't start.

And here is the dpkg log. The first error is related to this bug I think. I've tried reinstalling the packages list at the end of the log from Synaptic (after clearing the package cache), but that hasn't helped. I'll provide more info if it'll help (but this is a work machine so I can't do anything too drastic, or put off reinstallation or such too long). ** Attachment added: "dpkg --configure -a" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28066928/dpkg.log -- Firefox and epiphany won't start.

[Bug 367706] Re: Firefox and epiphany won't start. "Bus error"
Ditto. This is Jaunty 9.04, but this time on x86-32 (Pentium 4 with hyper- threading). Firefox etc. used to work fine until I ran the updates this morning, having been away from the office for a week without updating. The system locked up during the kernel update (mouse not moving, Ctrl+Alt+F1 no use etc.). After magic SysRq-s,u,b, I ran dpkg --configure -a or similar, as requested by Synaptic. dpkg failed with an error (attached, as part of it at least relates to this bug). Anyway, I have a system with no nVidia driver (kernel headers are failing to install due to an executable format error, probably not related), and no web access because the new xulrunner is giving a bus error. Attached is the Firefox strace, command as above. ** Attachment added: "Firefox strace" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28066728/firefox.log -- Firefox and epiphany won't start.

D. Springer, sparc is a different bug; there are alignment issues that can lead to Bus Errors; however, amd64 and i386 architectures its really rare to see Bus Errors ... and those often are caused by hardware issues. has, besides from testing liveCD, what graphics driver and chipset are you using? Also, are you sure your upgrade to jaunty finished properly? Maybe you are stuck half-through the upgrade. does running sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade bring any new packages?

Any progress on this? An OS without a web browser is seriously un-cool! I'll survive with Opera, but some pages work better in FF. And what if I hadn't installed Opera prior to the fatal upgrade? I'm about to convert a small/medium sized business to Ubuntu, and most of our systems are delivered SOA-style through Firefox. If this had happened after the switch to Ubuntu they would have gone back to WIndows immediately and for ever. No discussion. Please mark this bug high importance.
