87453 - Freeze in/after profile migration

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: Migration, defect)

Description

[Eric Vaandering (no email)]

I've tried installing the 20010622 build for linux several times now and each
time I get a freeze after I say "convert profile" from NN4.7

Also, when starting executable by hand (not from installer)

Deleting ~/.mozilla does not help. Starting a blank profile does let me start
the browser.

Output is this:
       SHLIB_PATH=/home/vondo/mozilla-2001-06-22
          LIBPATH=/home/vondo/mozilla-2001-06-22
       ADDON_PATH=/home/vondo/mozilla-2001-06-22
      MOZ_PROGRAM=/home/vondo/mozilla-2001-06-22/mozilla-bin
      MOZ_TOOLKIT=
        moz_debug=0
     moz_debugger=

Seeing this with Netscape 6.1 also- I can create new profile and launch,
I can run with -profilemanager and say yes to convert. (run up against bug 5922
in bugscape) but eventually launch

problem seems to be one 4.x profile being automigrated- 

adding ccarlen to cc list- he may have some ideas

That is the problem. What I said on bugscape bug 5992 was that if the migration
progress dialog is first to appear, you have this problem. Looks like we're
talking about commercial here. It would be helpful to have confirmed what I've
observed:

* this doesn't happen on mozilla (where confirm migration dialog appears first)
* this happens on commercial.

BTW, build 20010622 was suffering from bug 86922 which was checked in today.

I'm seeing this with Netscape 6.1 also (branch build 2001-06-25-11-0.9.2) on 
Win 2k with only one 4.x profile being automigrated. Browser does not launch 
after install is complete.

No, my problem is with mozilla. Haven't tried with NS 6.1

Sorry, I should have read bug 86922 first.

I will try a re-install and re-start on the machine I was having problems with
and a recent build in a few days and update this bug then.

I was not able to reproduce with mozilla on system with one 4.x profile on 
windows.
will test on mozilla on linux in am

This is bugscape bug 5992. I think there are some unflushed HTML elements in the
process of termination of migration window. 

Closing this one as mozilla will not travel thru that path as migration
confirmation dialog shows up by default and because of that things happen as
expected.
