I have not been able to run Chimera (Navigator) since 0.2.6 came out. I launch the program and it does an "unexpected quit" after sitting for a time on the splash screen. MY system is: iMac DV 400MHz; 320 Megs (in 1 256M PC100-222S and 1 64M PC100-322S DIMM) Mac OS X v10.1.4 (Build 5Q125) I'm posting this problem here, as this appears to be the proper site for Chimera bug reports now. This bug has been reported on mozdev.org also in at least two instances: <http://mozdev.org/bug/show_bug.cgi?id=1281> and <http://mozdev.org/bug/show_bug.cgi?id=1389> I have a crash log too which seems to be identical to ones posted in the reports on mozdev. I'll return and attach the crash log so there's one in this report. Note: I'm marking this a blocker because all other bugs are irrelevant if you can't run the application. However, I am aware that although I have 100% failute to run, there are others who are successfully running the application and no one seems to have tracked down the difference. I hope this bug gets resolved so I can again try Chimera. Dale PS: I have tried all of the "delete everything" suggestions for Navigator, ~/.mozilla, ~/Library/Preferences/*Registry and *plist files ... with no effect on the result.
Here's the crash log for my bug report.
Yesterday, I checked my archived older versions. I do have v0.2.6.1. I crashes for me in exactly the same way as 0.2.6 and 0.2.7. However 0.2.5 runs just fine ... even without trashing a profile that was to be in play for versions that crashed. Same system as my original report. Dale
I just downloaded Chimera 0.2.8 to try it. It "unexpectedly quits" just like 0.2.6 and 0.2.7 do with the same crash log as I posted before for 0.2.7. Chimera remains unusable :(( [Note: I modified the summary to include 0.2.6 thru 0.2.8.] Dale
Summary: Chimera 0.2.7 (and 0.2.6) crash (unexpectedly quit) at the splash screen. → Chimera 0.2.6, 0.2.7, and 0.2.8 crash (unexpectedly quit) at the splash screen.
Same on: iMac G4-800 /w 512 MB RAM, MacOS X 10.1.4 Cleaned up all Mozilla/Netscape related stuff (including ~/.mozilla folder) before, especially all related preferences files.
Cc:'ing pink because, you know. He's here this month.
This should take care of it - tested and verified by dales@tcs.wap.org.
BTW, I have tested the 6/1 and 6/2 nightly builds ... not fixed yet. They continue to "unexpectedly quit' on the splash screen. I do know that there's not been enough time for checking and checking in the patch that's been proposed and has been working for me in testing this weekend. I can only say that for: iMac DV 400 MHz w/ 320 Megs and Mac OS X 10.1.4 (Build 5Q125). Later ... Dale
hrm, i've seen this patch before. looks good, i'll land it. the patch didn't build actually, i had to tweak it. btw, &array[0] == array
