Correction: Epiphany error message actually reads: "Epiphany can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to locate the automation object." Found some additional info about this: Apparently Mozilla, Firefox, and Epiphany will all work when run as the root user, all completely normally. It's only when run as myself that they do not work. I've identified the root cause of the problem, and that is the file libgkplugin.so in the /usr/lib/mozilla/components . Moving the file to the parent directory (/usr/lib/mozilla) seems to be a temporary workaround for the problem. Not sure what the plugin does yet. Cheers! The comments about GNOME 2.12 and libbonobo don't make much sense. There is not a libbonobo-2.12.1. Regarding epiphany/mozilla/firefox, please attach the output you get running them from a terminal. If the process is crashing, please try to provide an usable backtrace to study the problem. Also, please include what version of mozilla and other browers you have installed in your system. need information in comment #4 |
