I was using 1.2.5 up until this morning with no crashes in living memory, and using flash with the linuxfromscratch gcc 3.2 hints. Now, having upgraded to mozilla 1.0.1 and galeon 1.2.6 thanks to the unmasking I too am having the form submit segfault almost every time. I'm currently posting this with mozilla 1.0.1 which seems very stable.
I never had this bug on any prior version of galeon, despite using exactly the same cflags. Also, removing all the plugins has no effect. I'll try using the vanilla cflags and see what happens.

| I had absolutely no problems with Mozilla 1.0r3/Galeon 1.2.5 then I updated to Mozilla 1.01/Galeon 1.2.6 and any page with a submit form button it seg faulted on me. I then tried upgrading Mozilla to 1.1 and re-emerged Galeon 1.2.6(after manually editing the ebuild file), still seg faulted on me. I finally went back to Mozilla 1.0r3/Galeon 1.2.5 and it's back to 95% of the original(ESPN still seg faults in the Fantasy Games section). BTW, during this whole process Mozilla was error free. |

Yep, I'm back with mozilla as galeon is now completely unusable. Shame - for the six months I was using it I couldn't imagine living with anything else...
I hope it's fixed soon.

I am also having probs with Galeon crashing on Form submits (and as far as I can tell, only form submits, and only some of them, it seems to be form submits that include check boxes, but I haven't done an exhaustive search). Here is my setup...
Gentoo 1.4rc something
GCC3.2
Mozilla 1.0.1
Galeon 1.2.5, 1.2.6, 1.2.5r?
I am trying not to install all of gnome or kde, so only the deps listed in galeon should be installed. As an aside I am a blackbox user... |

I think I've said it before, but you all should seriously think about giving Phoenix (light-weight Mozilla - a Mozilla project) a try. Getting better every day (at 0.4 now). Now that I got Evolution to quit launching Galeon I'm all Phoenix 
It's also in the portage system (0.3) if you enable testing/experimental ebuilds with the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" option. It's trivial to change that ebuild to a 0.4 ebuild...
I know this is really a non-solution solution, but if you aren't 100% attached to Galeon it's a solution that was worked really well for a lot of people... |

I just wanted to say "ME TOO!!!"... galeon segfaults for me also...
| Code: |
[ebuild R ] net-www/galeon-1.2.6
[ebuild R ] net-www/mozilla-1.0.1-r2
[ebuild R ] sys-devel/gcc-3.2-r1
[ebuild R ] gnome-base/gnome-2.0.2-r2
[ebuild R ] media-libs/libflash-0.4.10-r1
[ebuild N ] net-www/gplflash-0.4.10-r1
[ebuild N ] net-www/netscape-flash-6.0b
|
but not always.... for instance, i'm using galeon now and i was able to post this message... in fact, it has never segfaulted on the "new post" webpage in this forum... BUT 70% of the time i do a search in https://forums.gentoo.org/search.php it segfaults... Actually.... that is 90% of the time i first open galeon and try the search page... it segfaults... i open galeon again... go to search page, and do the same search, and then only 10% of the time it segfaults... the other 90% of the second try SUCCEEDS... don't know what to make of this.... but just wanted to let y'all know my situation in case it sheds some light... actually, it probably confuses the issue even more... sorry...

This is probably one of the reasons that Galeon 1.2.6 crashes:
** CRITICAL **: file mozilla.cpp: line 134 (gboolean mozilla_preference_set(const char*, const char*)): assertion `new_value != NULL' failed.

i've also emerged gnome on both boxes (using flux currently) to see if galeon really does require some extra libs but alas, it makes no difference. i don't think this is a plugin problem because it happens when no plugins are made available to galeon/mozilla
has anyone submitted this as a bug yet? |

Or this

Then the pop-up apeared "Encrypted do u want ..blah..blah... u know the message" I checked that I don't want it anymore...and SURPRISE ... i logged successfuly w/o CRASH ...
Then restarted galeon JavaScript enabled and no crash ?!!?! :")))
(log automaticaly was enabled when I logged)
Now going to try on anther forums and also on my Mandrake9 distro (it has the same problem !!) |

Alot of people really like Galeon. I personally don't think phoenix compares to galeon yet( when galeon works  ).
Because they are both built off the same engine, I think that the only way either will win people's hearts is with features, and right now galeon wins.
Granted that phoenix doesn't crash as much, but being stuck using phoenix or moz rather than galeon really stinks. I miss galeon alot, hopefully it will get fixed soon....
Galeon would have to be my favorite web browser that I have tried so far, maybe tied with lynx (only for functionality) cause X apps don't work too well without X |

|

the same trick didn't worked under mandrake ...
And Galeon under Gentoo... crashes on search when I choose "all words"...
And yes now i'm binded to galeon and don't want other browser 'cause they don't have that features...
Only thing still missing in Galeon will be the ability to block images,url's etc based on regular expressions... ala JunkBuster...
I have sent a message with a proposal for this to Galeon ppl ..in the past but i didnt got answer :"( |

squanto...
give links a try as a replacement for lynx.
I find it displays webpages better (specially the ones with tables) and it has a menu when you press the ESC key that you can navigate with the ARROW keys and RETURN button.

| I've discovered another interesting interaction that seems to make galeon crash. Since I upgrade alsa-driver to alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc5, galeon crashes every few minutes if I'm running xmms. (I discovered this by running galeon under strace -- it freezes with a message saying it can't open /dev/sound/dsp because it's in use by another program.) If I don't run xmms, it's perfectly stable (galeon-1.2.6, mozilla-1.0.1-r2). I notice there's alsa-driver 0.9.0-rc6 is out there. I'll try emerging it and see if it helps. |

Back from a nice and long vacation to my beautifully crashing galeon. Emerged the newest versions of moz and gal and bingo bango no more seg faulting here either. It really is quite beautiful to submit or click things and not think ok, is it gonna crash... don't get angry if it does, bloody 3*( *(@3 .
