Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Philipp]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1
Build ID: 20111228084940

Steps to reproduce:

I am using ubuntu 11.10 (64bit) and want to install add-ons in firefox (9.0.1). I am logged in as a NIS (Network information service) user with the home partition mounted via NFS. If I click on e.g. Install dictionary, then the download begins, finishes and nothing happens anymore. As a local user everything works fine, a dialog appears after the download and everything is installed as it should be.


Actual results:

The download begins, finishes and nothing happens anymore.

The error console shows:
LOG addons.xpi: Download of [...french dictionary...] completed.

Error: ERROR addons.xpi: Error creating statement getVisibleAddonForID (SELECT internal_id, id, location, version, type, internalName, updateURL, updateKey, optionsURL, optionsType, aboutURL, iconURL, icon64URL, defaultLocale, visible, active, userDisabled, appDisabled, pendingUninstall, descriptor, installDate, updateDate, applyBackgroundUpdates, bootstrap, skinnable, size, sourceURI, releaseNotesURI, softDisabled, foreignInstall FROM addon WHERE visible=1 AND id=:id)
Source File: resource:///modules/XPIProvider.jsm
Line: 4455

Error: ERROR addons.manager: Exception calling provider getAddonByID: [Exception...

Expected results:

The installation dialog should appear.

Marco, do you know if SQLite lock issues on NFS mounts can manifest like this?
