Following the link to the gnome bugzilla -- I ran across a tolerable workaround for the moment: If G_SLICE=always-malloc is in the environment, then it will start. It still complains, but it starts and appears to work (so far).
This makes it consume more CPU (and Lord knows it already consumes enough CPU), but it does allow Thunderbird to start - which is a good thing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1160569 Title: [regression] GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1160569/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
