[Bug 78809] Re: Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE)
I've since had the X repeated restarts at least twice (X either restarts itself or hangs so I try to restart it, then restarts over and over again, requiring an Alt-SysRq-euib system restart), at least one with Firefox not open (though Thunderbird was). Today I started the system and immediately found that Thunderbird wouldn't start (having closed it normally last time I used it; note that I began using Thunderbird only recently, so it may have been affected earlier), then found that Firefox, gedit, gnome-terminal and nautilus wouldn't start either. Backtraces, straces and valgrinds attached (sorry for lack of symbols, dpkg-query -W didn't find any debug packages; backtrace only for Thunderbird because its --debugger option doesn't pass arguments). All the valgrinds have the same error: ==4956== Invalid read of size 4 ==4956==at 0x4148114: pthread_mutex_lock (pthread_mutex_lock.c:44) ==4956==by 0x4DD1BBD: (within /usr/lib/libORBit-2.so.0.1.0) ==4956==by 0x4DD28A8: giop_recv_buffer_get (in /usr/lib/libORBit-2.so.0.1.0) ==4956==by 0x4DD733C: ORBit_small_invoke_stub (in /usr/lib/libORBit-2.so.0.1 .0) ==4956==by 0x4DD753D: ORBit_small_invoke_stub_n (in /usr/lib/libORBit-2.so.0 .1.0) ==4956==by 0x4DE3D31: ORBit_c_stub_invoke (in /usr/lib/libORBit-2.so.0.1.0) = causing SIGSEGV termination, this being the first error with the address being 0xC in gedit/gnome-terminal/nautilus and the fourth with 0x346D in firefox. ** Attachment added: "021007traces.tgz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9669990/021007traces.tgz -- Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I tried running Firefox under Valgrind when it was working, but found it to run too slowly for doing this until the bug reappeared (the only way to get a Valgrind log of the initial crash rather than a failed restart) to be practical. The attached is a Valgrind log of opening and closing Firefox without doing anything else; I don't know if this is of any use. Unfortunately a lot of the "errors" reported by Valgrind look like they could be false alarms from the Valgrind bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/valgrind/+bug/13460 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/valgrind/+bug/39491 ** Attachment added: "firefoxvalgrind.log.4922" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8954498/firefoxvalgrind.log.4922 -- Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Firefox won't restart reappeared today...
The initial problem was a hang on scrolling down to the picture in
http://orbit.m6.net/Forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=15835&p=8; I clicked
the close button and selected Force Quit.
I then found I couldn't start gnome-terminal, but could start
xfce4-terminal so did my testing there. A Bug Buddy window without any
details also appeared during the tests, which I ignored until I had
finished.
$ firefox
{nothing visible happened until I pressed Ctrl-C}
$ firefox -g
$firefox --debugger "strace -ofirefoxstrace"
{segfaulted, see next message for logs}
$ firefox -ProfileManager
{segfaulted without showing the profile selector}

$ ssh localhost DISPLAY=:0 firefox
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
{iptables -nvL (firewall stats) showed two packets out and two in per attempt,
both of which were being accepted}
After these tests, I reinstalled Firefox to find this didn't fix the
problem. Rebooting the system did fix it; I had to do this with Alt-
SysRq-euib as Quit->Shut Down didn't work.

[Bug 78809] Re: Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE)
I haven't seen the Firefox crash and won't restart since 10 Jul, or the one-off Firefox crash since 26 Jul. However due to the intermittent nature of the problem, it is impossible to be sure whether it has really gone away. On 31 Jul, the computer was moved from a university network to an ADSL/router home network. To get it to work there IPv6 was disabled in Firefox about:config. SophosAV was also removed and replaced with ClamAV. I have however had a gnome-panel crash today; a Bug Buddy window opened, both top and bottom bars disappeared, and a few seconds after Bug Buddy was closed the bars reappeared with the normal task buttons on the bottom but nothing on the top, but after a few more seconds another Bug Buddy window appeared and the cycle repeated. The open applications (Firefox showing uk.arxiv.org and gedit just opened showing a large tex file) appeared normal, and were successfully closed normally. The backtrace attached is from the second crash, as the first report disappeared when I right-clicked in it intending to copy and paste it. After a few cycles I rebooted the system. ** Attachment added: "gnome-panel-bugreport.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8913560/gnome-panel-bugreport.txt -- Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Firefox crashed again today (all windows disappeared, after some seconds when they weren't functioning); backtrace from apport attached. Restarting it normally worked, so I couldn't test anything else. Something like "checking your add-ons are compatible with the new version of Firefox" had appeared on startup (presumably referring to the update to 2.0.0.5); the pages I had open when it crashed were: http://www.randi.org/education/links.html http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/calcium.asp and http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleListURL&_method=list&_ArticleListID=601294619&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C10360&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=126524&md5=977fb539ecd73c70756a7ceaf8448d0e (two tabs in one window) http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=HelpURL&_file=qs_main.htm&_acct=C10360&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=126524&md5=19dafca93101182f345c5c407c9fecd3 (in the process of loading in a new window when the crash happened) Since this backtrace, and several others I have had, point to __kernel_vsyscall, is there anything else I need to post so you can tell which thread crashed? ** Attachment added: "firefoxbacktrace200707.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8531682/firefoxbacktrace200707.txt -- Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I still do not have a way to reproduce this bug; I appreciate that this can't be helpful. My Firefox is Edgy default with all security updates. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/60236 reports the same symptoms in Feisty and Dapper. Since other applications are crashing as well (I originally reported the Nautilus problem as a separate bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395406, but I suspect they may be connected) this could well be in something other than Firefox itself. I have now installed the GTK debugging symbols. (Does Firefox still use GTK when started from a non-GNOME desktop? I've also seen this in Xfce, and #60236 has been reported from KDE) I will try a clean profile test and #60236's ssh workaround next time the bug appears. -- Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 78809] Re: Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE)
After two crashes after which Firefox would restart normally, several more occurrences of the "You are about to view an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information" warning, and a Nautilus crash (of which I include the backtrace as I suspect this may be a system rather than Firefox problem), the Firefox crash and won't restart reappeared today. It still would not restart with -safe-mode; backtraces and the ends of straces with and without this are attached. As usual, reinstalling Firefox fixed the problem. While this unusually long interval without seeing it (though with the above other problems) occurred after replacing the power supply following a fan failure, its occurrence does not appear to be related to how long the computer has been on. ** Attachment added: "Firefox and Nautilus backtraces/straces" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8355084/firefoxbacktraces100707.txt -- Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The attached strace is from a SIGSEGV crash while starting Firefox (before anything visible had happened). My home page is https://webmail.ox.ac.uk/; when I started Firefox again without strace it loaded successfully and displayed a "server not found" error, at which point I noticed that I had accidentally left the network unplugged. According to Sophos, there is no indication of their anti-virus software being involved. This strace is from kernel 2.6.17-10, but the problem is still present after the recent update to 2.6.17-11. I have also discovered that sound isn't working, though I suspect this is a separate problem. ** Attachment added: "Firefox strace" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6398041/firefoxstrace1.txt -- Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE) https://launchpad.net/bugs/78809 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 78809] Re: Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE)
I now suspect this problem is not in Firefox after all, as it is now sometimes taking the whole system down rather than just Firefox (a common pattern is for X to suddenly restart for no apparent reason, get as far as logging in then restart again, and keep repeating this until X decides something is wrong and waits, at which point all I can do is restart the system; more rarely error messages appear that look like log messages but don't actually make it to the system logs, the only set I managed to cut and paste before the system went down being included below), and sometimes applications other than Firefox crash. I suspect this is really either an anti-virus software problem (I have also reported it to Sophos) or a kernel/driver/hardware compatibility problem, or possibly a hardware fault though it doesn't seem to affect Win98; please move it to wherever you think is appropriate. I am also having video problems (https://launchpad.net/bugs/82434), though since they are new in Ubuntu while this problem was also present in Debian I suspect they are a separate problem.
