Description Thomas Zimmerman 2002-07-08 15:53:23 UTC
After "emerge -u world" and an update to mozilla 1.0-r3, galeon crashed with a 
segfault error 11; rebuilding galeon didn't help, memory passes memtest86 
tests (2 weeks ago...test before install of gentoo). I'm about to "emerge -e 
-u galeon" to see if that fixes the seg11.
Comment 1 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-07-09 13:48:41 UTC
Check that you unmask all old versions of mozilla.  Also, do mozilla work ?
Comment 2 Thomas Zimmerman 2002-07-09 22:19:17 UTC
I've got every version of mozilla unmasked that I know of...and mozilla works
fine. After a complete rebuild (emerge -e -u galeon) I still get core: "
bash-2.05a$ galeon
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:1807: initialization assertion failed, use
g_type_init() prior to this fucnction

Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkdraw.c: line 274: (gdk_drawable_unref): assertion

bringing in the gnome team to help with this.
Comment 4 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-09-29 08:55:44 UTC
Spider .. was the the bug that you fixed in galeon-1.2.5 some time back?

I get constant crashes with mozilla-1.0.1 and galeon-1.2.6 btw ..
Comment 5 Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-09-29 13:04:48 UTC
constant crashes == crash on form submit?   I have that behaviour, currently I'm
using a mozilla debug build, and a galeon debug build, to try and trace it down.

I dont know anything about compile time crashes with 1.2.6 so I can't speak there.
Comment 6 Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-09-29 13:07:12 UTC
btw.. do you have -fomit-frame-pointer. -O3 or -fno-exceptions  in CFLAGS
/CXXFLAGS ??

if so and galeon crashes, try a build of both moz and galeon without that (-O2)
 and see... it might just be the frame-pointer spooking between the linking in
moz and outside moz.....
Comment 7 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-09-29 13:49:31 UTC
Not one of those flags.  Compiled with -O2.  Basically on form submit, closing
tabs, and just browsing in general.
Comment 8 Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-09-29 16:53:10 UTC
ok, form submit is a known bug with Galeon + mozilla interaction when using gcc
3.2 to compile it.

the only way I know as of yet to make it not appear is to build mozilla and
galeon with full debugging and running it through gdb...   *Wry smile* it
doesn't cooperate ;) (I'm trying to track this one down, yes)


general browsing i haven't had any problems with. neither closing  (not after
the patch for crash-on-close-with-tabs-open went into portage)
Comment 9 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-03 13:59:36 UTC
Spider: I recompiled mozilla without "--disable-dtd-debug", and its been
stable so far (galeon as well .. 1.2.6 with moz-1.0.1).  Ill commit -r1.
Comment 10 Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-03 17:41:09 UTC
okay, looks good for me too. had a single crash with smart bookmarks but thats it.

Comment 11 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-12 13:33:15 UTC
Its better, but not 100% yet.  Maybe enable ALL debugging by default ?
Comment 12 Spider (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-12 17:00:03 UTC
then the build takes >3 gig or so.. the end result is also a lot of debug
messages, but it doesn't crash

please note, this crash is there with moz 1.0.0 as well as 1.0.1 
Comment 13 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-10-14 14:29:56 UTC
Bit better still (Mandrake patches), but not it :(

Comment 14 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-02 04:14:25 UTC
Mozilla-1.2 and galeon-1.2.7 seem to be a winning combination .. no crash in the
last few days!
Comment 15 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-06 02:05:13 UTC
Everybody who had issues, please update to mozilla-1.2.1 and galeon-1.2.7,
and try again.
Comment 16 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-25 14:41:14 UTC
No traffic.  Works fine for me.
