 |
|
Good day everyone,
My thunderbird crashes eratically. It always happen when I open a New message composition window (either by clicking on Write, Forward, Reply), but it's erratic because it does not happen each time I open a composition window.
Anyone could help me to solve that? I've tried to rebuild and rebuild, and it still happens.
That's what I get when thunderbird is run from the command line:
| Code: |
$ thunderbird
No running windows found
(thunderbird-bin:19278): Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_property_get(): length value has wrapped in calculation (did you pass G_MAXLONG?)
[THE FOLLOWING APPEARS ONCE I KILL THE APP]
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0xbfe0b48c ***
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 116: 19278 Killed "$mozbin" "$@"
thunderbird-bin exited with non-zero status (137)
|
I have the latest stable versions: mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.7 and mozilla-launcher-1.42
I've tried to use mozilla-thunderbird-1.0.7-r3 but the same happens. I haven't tried unstable mozilla-launcher though.
Thanks for your help,

| This same problem happened to me. Save your addy book somewhere then rm -rf .thunderbird Then unmerge and remerge, rebuild and rebuild, but the problem is something in the .thunderbird folder that needs to be reset. |

Just to let you know that I've done the following yesterday: I moved away my .thunderbird/ folder and kept it in a safe place 
I unmerged mozilla-thunderbird, and I had the surprise to see at the end of the process:
| Code: | | /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: can't find the browser :-( |
I don't know if it's related or not.
Anyway in a brave move to solve that for good, I unmerged mozilla-firefox and got the same error message. I then unmerged mozilla-launcher.
I eventually reinstalled the 3 packages, and now I'm waiting to see if it happens again. So far so good.
By the way I upgraded to mozilla-firefox-1.0.7-r4 without any problem this morning and when portage unmerged the previous version (which I had just reinstalled yesterday!) I did not get the error message mentionned above.
So... I'm optimistic.
Cheers!

Well, in fact, I have again the same problem: I wanted to reply to a message in thunderbird and it freezes. I have to kill it and restart. 
I'm gonna try the latest unstable versions of mozilla-launcher and mozilla-thunderbird...

OK, just to say that I have exactly the same problems with thunderdird-bin-1.0.7
I guess I should file a bug!
EDIT: done - see bug 117720
