Firefox strace
A few updates with further testing and thanks to some ideas from Martin Stransky: When building the latest RHEL-6 Firefox-8beta with the associated xulrunner-8beta i'm getting a bit further: I can now successfully start firefox when i use the -safe-mode option. I get the safe-mode dialog, activate everything in there and then continue and it works like a charm. I've also had one gdb session where i managed to get it to work without the -safe-mode option, here's what happened: 1) Started firefox in gdb using "gdb firefox" 2) Ran it till it started looping 3) Interrupted it and investigated where the heck it was looping 4) Added and removed a few breakpoints here and there to see where the topmost stackframe was which started looping (aka, where the breakpoint wouldn't be reached anymore) 5) GDB barfed a bit about something, but i told it to continue 6) I then suddenly got a message like: "Lost DBus connection" 7) It then suddenly worked I hope this gives a bit more information as to where the problem might be coming from. Thanks & regards, Phil Tested the latest rawhide version and that works like a charm. We'll be using that for our Fedora 16 release then for Power. Closing this out as RAWHIDE. Thanks again Martin for all the help! Regards, Phil |
