63620 - Crash on startup in nsGtkMain.cpp

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GTK Widget, defect)

Description

[brade]

For the last two weeks I can't get mozilla to run. It crashes on startup with

CanUnload_enumerate: skipping native
###!!! ASSERTION: NS_InitXPCOM failed: 'NS_SUCCEEDED(rv)', file nsGtkMain.cpp, 
line 171
###!!! Break: at file nsGtkMain.cpp, line 171

I built mozilla on SuSE Linux 7.0, glibc-2.1.3, XFree 4.02, kernel 2.2.18 with 
gcc-2.95.2. I have no .mozconfig and did a simple make -f client.mk.

Hope this helps,
  Michael

PS: I hope I chose the right component now...

I just built on a mandrake system today and it works fine. Did you check out
while the tree was green?

Marking WORKSFORME Due to lack of response. Reopen if this is still a problem in
the latest nightlies.

Reopening heres a message from the reporter:

Anyway, here's the text I sent to doronr:

Hmm, changes just the output a little  [;-)] So I deleted everything that had to
do with mozilla completely, recompiled and now get still the following error:

CanUnload_enumerate: skipping native

BTW: "Speicherzugriffsfehler" means "segmentation fault".

I still got this two days ago, so I'm just recompiling. I will send you my
result this afternoon.

More From Reporter:

Still the same. However, the crash is different if I type ./run-mozilla.sh
instead of ./mozilla:

Now the other crash:

BTW: the second crash is exactly the same that I get if I try to embed
mozilla in Konqueror with KMOZILLA.

Hope this helps.



Marking NEW as per comments.

Comment 6

[brade]

Today I tried again: now it works for me! :-) So if this works
for Sean Langford (last additional comment) as well, you may close this
bug.

Thanks,

resolving wfm per reporter's and my experience.

Comment 8

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

email from Michael Brade:

"Btw, I know now why this crash happens: at the first startup time you need to 
have write permission to the mozilla dir - if you don't have it there will be 
exactly this crash! So I'd be very happy if you could make mozilla not crash 
but spit out some useful debug message in such a case."

asa, doron or pavlov --isn't there already a bug filed for this issue he
mentions...?

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

bug 41057 maybe?
