Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox
I recently received an update, via Ubuntu, to my Firefox 3.5 "Shiretoko" installation. After the update I tried to launch Firefox from the panel but was met with only a bobbing Firefox icon which eventually disappeared along with its associated entry in the KDE4 Plasma Task Manager. After trying the above several times I decided to launch Firefox from a terminal ( Konsole ) after which I received this output : 'Bus error' Seeing this, as per the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs#Firefox-3.5 , I ran the following to get debugging output from Firefox : 'gdb /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.4pre/firefox 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gdb-firefox.txt' which is contained in the attached gdb-firefox.txt . My system configuration is as follows : 'apt-cache policy firefox' : ' firefox: Installed: 3.5.4~hg20090826r26281+nobinonly-0ubuntu2~umd1~jaunty Candidate: 3.5.4~hg20090826r26281+nobinonly-0ubuntu2~umd1~jaunty Version table: *** 3.5.4~hg20090826r26281+nobinonly-0ubuntu2~umd1~jaunty 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.0.13+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com jaunty-security/main Packages 3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages ' 'apt-cache policy firefox-3.5' : ' firefox-3.5: Installed: 3.5.4~hg20090826r26281+nobinonly-0ubuntu2~umd1~jaunty Candidate: 3.5.4~hg20090826r26281+nobinonly-0ubuntu2~umd1~jaunty Version table: *** 3.5.4~hg20090826r26281+nobinonly-0ubuntu2~umd1~jaunty 0 500 http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.5.2+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.9.04.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty-updates/universe Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com jaunty-security/universe Packages 3.5~b4~hg20090330r24021+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/universe Packages ' 'uname -a' : ' Linux jdb2-Kubuntu-temp 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 18:40:08 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux ' 'lsb_release -a' : ' LSB Version: core-2.0-ia32:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-ia32:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-ia32:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-ia32:core-4.0-noarch:cxx-3.0-ia32:cxx-3.0-noarch:cxx-3.1-ia32:cxx-3.1-noarch:cxx-3.2-ia32:cxx-3.2-noarch:cxx-4.0-ia32:cxx-4.0-noarch:desktop-3.1-ia32:desktop-3.1-noarch:desktop-3.2-ia32:desktop-3.2-noarch:desktop-4.0-ia32:desktop-4.0-noarch:graphics-2.0-ia32:graphics-2.0-noarch:graphics-3.0-ia32:graphics-3.0-noarch:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.2-ia32:graphics-3.2-noarch:graphics-4.0-ia32:graphics-4.0-noarch:qt4-3.1-ia32:qt4-3.1-noarch Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 Codename: jaunty ' 'kde4-config --version' : ' Qt: 4.5.2 KDE: 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0) kde4-config: 1.0 ' ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox 3.5.4pre dies with "bus error" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419566 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
