700308 - SeaMonkey doesn't start (stops during startup). No Breakpad dialog.

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect)

Description

[Tony Mechelynck [:tonymec]]

Reproducible: Always

SeaMonkey stops during startup. No Breakpad dialog. If invoked with -ProfileManager, it happens after clicking "Start SeaMonkey" to end PM operations.

Last good build from Mozilla:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111017 Firefox/10.0a1 SeaMonkey/2.7a1 ID:20111017003001

Last good own-built build:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0a1) Gecko/20111106 Firefox/10.0a1 SeaMonkey/2.7a1 ID:20111106104605
Alas, I don't have it anymore.

Between Oct.17 and today the SeaMonkey L64 builders were down.

P.P.P.S. No window opened. A few messages on stdout/stderr but they also happen in "good" builds. Here they are:


(seamonkey-bin:6756): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: plugin '/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/immodules/im-scim.so' failed to register type 'GtkIMContextSCIM'


(seamonkey-bin:6756): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'scim' failed

(seamonkey-bin:6756): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'scim' failed



If I run the Profile Manager, there are more messages, but of the same kind.

Don't know why my former comment hasn't made it to Bugzilla, but i will try to reproduce.

This bug could be the same i have seen in my last build some hours ago. SM did not start but could forced with 'seamonkey -mail'. MailNews operates normally but starting the browser from within MailNews fails with this message from the error console:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure
code: 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)
[nsIJSCID.getService]"  nsresult: "0x80570016
(NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://communicator/content/tasksOverlay.js :: OpenBrowserWindow ::
line 169"  data: no]

If I start 'seamonkey -jsconsole', I get

> Error: missing ) after argument list

Seems like the code in 'nsBrowserContentHandler.js', line 191 should read:
>       return prefs.getComplexValue("browser.history.last_page_visited",
>                                    nsISupportsString).data;
instead of

>                                   nsISupportsString).data);

Ugh that is surely it. r+a+=me for *someone* landing that ASAP.
