Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
Firefox exits randomly. It seems to be a poor interaction between X and Firefox because, when I run firefox from the command line, I get this output: firefox: Fatal IO error 10 (No child processes) on X server :0.0. Fri Jul 9 01:15:39 PDT 2010 (Note that Firefox disappeared early in the morning.) I am running Firefox on Mac Mini hardware using (I think) the NVidia proprietary device driver for the display. If attaching X logs would help, please tell me. All other displayed programs seem to survive fine -- it's only Firefox that goes away. % lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 % apt-cache policy firefox firefox: Installed: 3.5.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 Candidate: 3.5.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 Version table: *** 3.5.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com karmic-security/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.5.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu6 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages % apt-cache policy xorg xorg: Installed: 1:7.4+3ubuntu10 Candidate: 1:7.4+3ubuntu10 Version table: *** 1:7.4+3ubuntu10 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic-updates/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:7.4+3ubuntu7 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages % dpkg -l '*nvidia*'|grep ^i ii nvidia-173-modaliases 173.14.20-0ubuntu5 Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive ii nvidia-185-kernel-source 185.18.36-0ubuntu9 NVIDIA binary kernel module source ii nvidia-185-libvdpau 185.18.36-0ubuntu9 Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix ii nvidia-185-modaliases 185.18.36-0ubuntu9 Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive ii nvidia-96-modaliases 96.43.13-0ubuntu6 Modaliases for the NVIDIA binary X.Org drive ii nvidia-common 0.2.15.1 Find obsolete NVIDIA drivers ii nvidia-glx-185 185.18.36-0ubuntu9 NVIDIA binary Xorg driver ii nvidia-settings 180.25-0ubuntu1 Tool of configuring the NVIDIA graphics driv ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Jul 9 07:45:39 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: firefox 3.5.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.10.1 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/usr/bin/tcsh ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-22.60-generic SourcePackage: firefox-3.5 Uname: Linux 2.6.31-22-generic i686 ** Affects: firefox-3.5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 nvidia xorg -- Firefox exits https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/603629 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
