Description Alwin 2008-11-02 08:40:14 UTC
Description of problem:
Since latest update a few days ago firefox won't start anymore but crashes with bus error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Firefox: 3.0.2
nspluginwrapper: 1.1.2 (i386 and x86_64)

How reproducible:
starting firefox from xterm and just see 


/usr/bin/mozilla-plugin-config: line 73:  4863 Bus-Zugriffsfehler      $WRAPPER_LIB_DIR/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config -f > /dev/null 2>&1
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.0.2/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  4876 Bus-Zugriffsfehler      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

calling plugin-config results in

/usr/lib64/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config -f
Bus-Zugriffsfehler

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

First of all, could we get output of the command

	rpm -qa *xulrun* *firefox* *mozilla* *flash* *plugin*

Please also install firefox-debuginfo (debuginfo-install is from
yum-utils package).

	debuginfo-install firefox

Then run firefox with a parameter -g. That will start firefox running inside of gdb debugger. Then use command run and do whatever you did to make firefox crash. When it happens, you should go back to the gdb and run

	(gdb) thread apply all backtrace

This produces usually many screens of the text. Copy all of them into a text editor and attach the file to the bug as an uncompressed attachment.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Firexox debug output

Debugger output, firefox -g started always ddd

I made 

  debuginfo-install firefox

and 
  
  debuginfo-install xulrunner 

before this output.

I'm sorry....

I heard just this moment about a small power blackout. So I checked again and yes - a simple removing of xulrunner, nspluginwrapper and firefox and re-installing fixed the problem.

So it looks like a damaged filesystem.

Real sorry about wasting your time.

No worries, glad it works.
