Hi,
I have been having trouble with thunderbird. The current version, thunderbird-91.8.1 emerges just fine (as have the prior two versions in the gentoo repository). This is the command that emerge runs:
| Code: | $ emerge -pv thunderbird
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R #] mail-client/thunderbird-91.8.1::gentoo USE="clang dbus hwaccel openh264 pulseaudio system-av1 system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jpeg system-libevent system-webp wayland -debug -eme-free -hardened -jack -lto (-pgo) (-selinux) -sndio -system-libvpx -system-png -wifi" L10N="-af -ar -ast -be -bg -br -ca -cak -cs -cy -da -de -dsb -el -en-CA -en-GB -es-AR -es-ES -et -eu -fi -fr -fy -ga -gd -gl -he -hr -hsb -hu -id -is -it -ja -ka -kab -kk -ko -lt -lv -ms -nb -nl -nn -pa -pl -pt-BR -pt-PT -rm -ro -ru -sk -sl -sq -sr -sv -th -tr -uk -uz -vi -zh-CN -zh-TW" 0 KiB |
However, it and its predecessors will not run. When I run as a user from an xterm window, I get this:
| Code: | $ thunderbird
[unhandlable oom] Failed to mmap, likely no more mappings available /var/tmp/portage/mail-client/thunderbird-91.8.1/work/thunderbird-91.8.1/memory/build/mozjemalloc.cpp : 1306Segmentation fault |
I have searched this and other places for thunderbird and mmap, mozjemalloc and a few other subjects. I have looked at the emerge output, nothing seems amiss. I have plenty of memory left in RAM, hard disk and swap file, so I don't think that is a problem.
If I try to see if there is a problem with mozjemalloc.cpp, I find that the directory: /var/tmp/portage/mail-client/thunderbird-91.8.1 does not exist, but /var/tmp/portage/mail-client/ does exist.
Emerging thunderbird-bin and locating the local files that were in use with thunderbird gives me back a working solution. I can live with this, but is there a fix for this odd problem?
Thanks in advance. |

Since you have lots of ram there is talk of some thunderbird files being unable to be accessed rw.
Try plz
| Code: |
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~

alamahunt,
Thank you for replying. I am not sure I completely understand the instruction. As root, I ran
| Code: | | chown -R liou:liou mail-client |
in the directory /var/tmp/portage/. I didn't think you were suggesting that I run the command at / or even /var as that seems likely to cause problems elsewhere. The result of the command was:
| Code: | $ ls -l
total 20
drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Apr 27 18:14 dev-libs
drwxrwxr-x 3 liou liou 4096 Apr 27 19:02 mail-client
drwxrwxr-x 6 portage portage 4096 Apr 27 18:21 media-libs
drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Apr 27 18:31 media-plugins
drwxrwxr-x 3 portage portage 4096 Apr 15 10:16 sys-libs

Running thunderbird as the user got me the same error message:
| Code: | | [unhandlable oom] Failed to mmap, likely no more mappings available /var/tmp/portage/mail-client/thunderbird-91.8.1/work/thunderbird-91.8.1/memory/build/mozjemalloc.cpp : 1306Segmentation fault |
Did I do something wrong? Or do I need to do something else? |

Hopefully not demonstrating my incompetence:
| Code: | $ sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.
Sorry, try again.
Sorry, try again.
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts

I don't get a chance to enter the root password which is why I tried running the command as root. I tried substituting liou for $USER as well with the same result. |

tliou,
You don't use the root password for sudo.
Its the users password for the user running sudo.

So embarrassing.
So after emerging sudo and adjusting /etc/sudoers file using visudo, I did this:
| Code: | $ sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~
Password:
$ thunderbird
[unhandlable oom] Failed to mmap, likely no more mappings available /var/tmp/portage/mail-client/thunderbird-91.8.1/work/thunderbird-91.8.1/memory/build/mozjemalloc.cpp : 1306Segmentation fault

Nothing should be trying to run from /var/tmp/portage/. Anything left over in /var/tmp/portage is left over from some failure during an emerge. I think you need to study the build log. Did emerging thunderbird create an error log (usually in /var/log/portage/elog).

Some build systems will embed the absolute path of the source files into the generated binary, causing a portage temporary location to be cited in error messages much later, when the binary runs from its proper place. |

Thank you all for advice.
There was nothing helpful from the /var/log/portage/elog/summary.log for recent entries for thunderbird:

Not sure where to go with this problem. Any more hints? |
