Description

[Anders Rune Jensen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20030708 Galeon/1.3.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686) Gecko/20030708 Galeon/1.3.7

As the summary says it just quits. I've tried with mozilla 1.4 and galeon 1.3.7
buildt against that mozilla. So mozilla was compiled (gentoo) with gtk2 and xft
support.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on the link
2. repeat


Actual Results:  
crash

Expected Results:  
show picture

I just noted that the image is extremely large (10mb). It crashes as soon as I
click on the pictures so it's not because it loads the picture and then crashes.

no crash Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030827
loading http://pi3.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/~schiele/keysign.linuxtag/graph.jpg
After reading comment #1 I aborted the load, as I´m on a relatively slow (ISDN,
64 kbit/s) connection.
Retried, it didn´t crash while loading for a minute or a half.

wfm on win2k and a 1 day old trunk build.

Reporter:
Please provide a stack trace or a Talkback ID (please use the binary 1.5b
Release build with Talkback)

I just tried with 1.5b binary on Linux, still got the same kind of crash. There
seems to be a Windows vs. GNU/Linux pattern here. It would be great if other
GNU/Linux users could try this.

WFM with
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030831
compiled with gtk2 & xft support compiled on RH9 Linux from latest Seamonkey. 
Will try again later with latest Seamonkey on mdk9.1 too.

Reporter: can you try out a daily with xft & gtk2 (maybe Firebird if you can't
find Mozilla Suite) to give us another data point?  Or better yet build a debug
version and go from there?

Comment 6

[Anders Rune Jensen]

I tried the latest mozilla firebird version 

./MozillaFirebird --version
Mozilla 1.5b, Copyright (c) 2003 mozilla.org, build 2003091010

built with xft and gtk2. 

It also crashes.

Another one I know also had the same crash but was unable to get anything good
from gdb. He is also running Gentoo Linux.

Maybe it's related to the Xfree that Gentoo users use.

It works fine on Debian (Unstable) in Galeon (1.3.4) running on Mozilla 1.3.1,
Copyright (c) 2003 mozilla.org, build 2003052111.

Hi Anders- a couple of ideas here:

First thing, I confirmed that the link you provided Works For Me on my
self-built Firebird 0.6.1+ (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030903
built with Xft & gtk2 on Mozilla 9.1.

Next I assume you're using Portage to build this?  I assume that it's not the
problem as the official Mozilla.org Firebird build you're using is also
crashing.  Unfortunately I know squat about Portage or ebuild.  But could you
attach a .mozconfig file if it's doing something like:
gmake -f client.mk build
in the build process?

Regardless if you're able to get us a relevant .mozconfig, could you either use
a Talback-enabled version of the latest Mozilla 1.5RC1 and see if it will catch
the crash (I don't remember if it's working correctly right now on Linux) and if
so please provide the Talkback ID.  If that doesn't work could you build a debug
version of Mozilla- if you don't know how to do this using Portage/ebuild you
could manually build as shown on 
http://mozilla.org/build/unix.html

You'll want to make sure you don't have a line in .mozconfig like:
ac_add_options --disable-debug
If so, please #comment# it out and also just to rule out one thing please add
the line:
ac_add_options --without-system-jpeg

Please report back if that build works with the link you gave- if not could you
then debug this?  I don't know if you're comfortable with using gdb (I know I'm
not yet), but if not and you're willing to try there are some hints on
http://mozilla.org/unix/debugging-faq.html on the debugging process.   Post
again if you need some help- make sure you start mozilla from a terminal to get
the output.

This is very strange. I wrecked my ext3 partition which meant that I had to
reinstall gentoo. And now it works. Anyway it doesn't seem to a problem for
other users than gentoo ones so I'm closing this and blame it on some bad
package in gentoo that has since been fixed. 

Thanx for all the tips and testing people.

Nothing in Mozilla was broken or fixed.
