mozilla apps segfault when changing GTK themes

Message

mikegpitt · Post by **mikegpitt** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 9:31 pm

When I change GTK themes on my system mozilla apps (ie. firefox and thiunderbird) crash. They spit out an error like this if it is run from the command line:

Code: Select all

/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 117: 20181 Segmentation fault      "$mozbin" "$@"
thunderbird-bin exited with non-zero status (139)

or

Code: Select all

/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 117: 20269 Segmentation fault      "$mozbin" "$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139)

Does anyone else have this issue? I am still running the 1.5 firefox, and 1.5 thunderbird. I'm using the source ebuilds vs. the binary ones.

I have the same problem, the binary works though...

Missing some information here..

Please post your output of 'emerge --info'.

Also, emerge gdb if isn't installed yet. Then, from a console, run 'gdb firefox'. You will get the gdb console, in there type 'run' and hit enter.
Firefox will start up, now try to change your GTK theme. Firefox will segfault but gdb will output some interesting information and go back to it's console. Then, type 'bt' in it and hit enter again.

Post the whole bunch of text here

Here is my current emerge --info. I was hoping to not go through a long process if this was a well known problem, but I guess it isn't. I'm recompiling it right now with -g and will post the debugging statements after it is complete.

Ok I ran it in gdb (btw to run firefox in gdb you must start it in this way, becuase /usr/bin/firefox is actually just a shell script, which runs another shell script:

Code: Select all

 firefox -g -d gdb

Unfortunatly the debugging info is less than helpful... It seems to just say that the crash is occuring in one of firefox's the shared objects that relates to GTK.

Hi,
Was this issue resolved?
I still get crashes with the binary version.
Cheers,
Sat

Nope... I'm really not sure what to do to fix it either. This is likely an upstream problem, but I'm not 100% sure.

I've experienced this problem using ff 1.5.x, but, as I can see, it's fixed in 2.0.0.x.
