I guess you have xul 1.9.1 installed. I'm seeing that too.
$ strace -f -F epiphany-browser |& grep xulr read(16, "[1.9.0.3]\nGRE_PATH=/usr/lib/xulr"..., 76) = 76 access("/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.3/libxpcom.so", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) read(16, "[1.9.1b2]\nGRE_PATH=/usr/lib/xulr"..., 76) = 76 access("/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1b2/libxpcom.so", R_OK) = 0 lstat("/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1b2", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0 lstat("/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1b2/libxpcom.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=18704, ...}) = 0 ... $ ls -fl /etc/gre.d/ total 36 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-11-27 17:18 . drwxr-xr-x 147 root root 12288 2008-11-27 17:53 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 76 2008-10-13 17:59 1.9.0.3.system.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 76 2008-11-26 22:14 1.9.1b2.system.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 2008-11-14 04:34 1.9.1b2pre.system.conf -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 76 2008-11-04 01:45 1.9.0.4.system.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 2008-11-14 04:34 1.9.1b2pre-restored.system.conf so epiphany tries 1.9.0.3, fails, then 1.9.1b2, succeeds and fails later on because it's not compatible. ephy should restrict itself to 1.9.0.* for now. In embed/mozilla/mozilla-embed-single.cpp: static const GREVersionRange greVersion = { "1.9a", PR_TRUE, "2", PR_TRUE }; use 1.9.0.* instead of 2. ** Changed in: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Status: New => Confirmed -- Epiphany: Failed to instantiate LoginManager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/302859 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
