From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040419 Description of problem: When loading the URL (action=view probably also crashes, but I haven't tried it), X crashes. With the action=edit page, it will try to load the binary in the iframe (it's a zip and I mis-identified the attachment as text/html). I've tested with current Mozilla trunk (gtk1, not xft). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.7.0-0.5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. grab a Mozilla nightly (1.6 with gtk1 probably does the same) 2. load http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=146647&action=edit Actual Results: seg fault. Useful info from XFree86.0.log is: Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting Expected Results: display binary garbage
Attach your X server config file and complete log file, /var/log/messages, and the output of "lsmod" to the report using the bugzilla file attachment feature below. Once this information is provided, we can review the issue further. Thanks in advance.

I tested some other Mozilla builds. Mozilla 1.6 (gtk1/no xft) did not crash X Mozilla 1.7a (gtk1/no xft) did crash X. Mozilla trunk with xft did not crash X.

Created attachment 100902 [details] strace startx 2> stracestartx.txt I figured out how to use strace for this bug. On my Fedora-box: failsave-terminal # telinit 3 # strace startx 2> stracestartx.txt Opened mozilla, loaded the crashing-page, X crashed...
Created attachment 100903 [details] strace mozilla 2> stracemozilla.txt This is the strace when logged in in GNOME and calling mozilla from the terminal. strace mozilla 2> stracemozilla.txt
startx and mozilla are both shell scripts, and that's all you've straced (not the binary programs). an strace of the binaries would likely be enormous and probably useful.

Mike, do you have any updates for us on this issue ? Thank you, Hannes.
Thanks for filing this bug upstream. We will track it in the upstream bugzilla now, and provide any status updates there should the status change or a fix become available. Thanks again. Setting status to "UPSTREAM" for tracking at xorg bugzilla.
Thank you Mike! Something I found out last month or so: When disabling XFT on Mozilla 1.6 (that one that came with FC2) # GDK_USE_XFT=0 /usr/bin/mozilla the X server doesn't crash. Andrew Schultz posted earlier, that my straces are not useful. Mike, if you can give me some hints on what to try or to look at I can try to find out more. (i.e. where to implement strace etc...) If you've got a minute, I'd be glad to hear from you at my email I use for this bugzilla. Thank you, Hannes.
FYI, I just updated all xorg packages to 6.7.0-5 as it appeared in up2date. The problem still persists...
Status update: I've reviewed the upstream bug for this in X.Org bugzilla <http://freedesktop.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=659>, and there has been no resolution yet for this issue. Please test the latest X.Org release from our rawhide xorg-x11 packages, and indicate wether the issue still exists in rawhide or not. Please update the upstream bug report with this also. You may also find the xorg or mozilla mailing lists helpful if you are debugging the issue yourself and require assistance. Hope this helps.
Setting status to "NEEDINFO", awaiting status update from reporter on rawhide testing.
I upgraded to xorg-x11-6.7.99.903-2 and it still crashes loading the given URL.
I haven't tested this previously, but using the current rawhide packages (mozilla-1.7.2-0.3.0 and xorg-x11-6.7.99.903.5) does NOT crash or cause me any problems when loading the test URL provided in Andrew's first post. -Chris Kuivenhoven
Chris: see comment 6. all fedora-packaged Mozillas use gtk2/xft, which does not trigger this bug. You should see the bug if you download a gtk1 build from mozilla.org
My apologies, I was misreading that comment. Thanks for straightening me out. :) -Chris Kuivenhoven
Created attachment 106961 [details] Xorg log file I see this bug in FC3 (xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.1). Testcase: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=106786&action=view https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=106799&action=view Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040927 Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce it on a newly created Mozilla's profile - X server crashes only with my 6 month old one :/
Created attachment 106982 [details] Mozilla's profile Well, I've made a small investigation and I think that I know the way how to reproduce this bug :-) 1. Install Microsoft Truetype Fonts You can grab it from here â http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-fc3.shtml#ttf or http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ Do not install this rpm, just extract fonts from the package using mc to some directory (in other case you would have to change path to TTF fonts in Mozilla's configuration file). Open KDE's Control Center, search menu for the font installer and change your role to admin. Install extracted fonts to the TTF directory (make shure that they where installed in /usr/local/share/fonts/TTF/). 2. adduser fedora (in other case you would have to remove file ~/.mozilla/appreg). 3. Install this â http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.8a4/mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.8a4-installer.tar.gz 4. Log in as "fedora" user, download attached Mozilla's profile and extract. Make shure that /home/fedora/.mozilla was created. 5. Run /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla binary 6. In personal toolbar there are links to pages which crashes X server. Click them and log in once again ;-) Additional info: I do not know whether it's important but I have recompiled freetype with enabled bytecode interpreter. Oh, I have almost forgot - without evil MS fonts ;) X server does not crash in my case. Sorry for any mistakes in my English.
I also noticed, that after X server crash there are some characters on 7th vt - just run telinit 3 and CTRL+ALT+F7. What is weird, mouse on that console acts strange (it's really slow) and I'm not able to swith to 1st vt. Only power button helps (thanks God that it starts reboot procedure so my filesystems didn't hurt a lot).
For all who have not noticed, see this for a workaround: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659#c6 Greetings Thomas

Do you know that Soeren Sandmann Pedersen rulez? ;-) With patch from bug #145546 X server does not crash anymore :D You can close this report, because it's fixed in Rawhide.
Thanks for the update! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 145546 ***
