DetailsDescription:
Not sure what the problem is, but the browser keeps segfaulting on me with certain sites. e.g.: google.com works fine, cnn.com not: [darose@daroselin ~]$ arora www.cnn.com Segmentation fault When I run it under strace, the last bits of output are as follows: open("/opt/mozilla/lib/plugins", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat("/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=78978, ...}) = 0 stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3519, ...}) = 0 stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=3519, ...}) = 0 stat("/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=78978, ...}) = 0 open("/opt/java/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so", O_RDONLY) = 13 read(13, "\177ELF\2\1\1\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\3\0>\0\1\0\0\0\220[\0\0\0\0\0\0@"..., 832) = 832 fstat(13, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=78978, ...}) = 0 mmap(NULL, 1106952, PROT_READ|PROT_EXEC, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_DENYWRITE, 13, 0) = 0x7fa596a81000 mprotect(0x7fa596a8e000, 1044480, PROT_NONE) = 0 mmap(0x7fa596b8d000, 12288, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRITE, 13, 0xc000) = 0x7fa596b8d000 mprotect(0x7fa5a42b5000, 3460, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) = 0 mprotect(0x7fa5a42b5000, 3460, PROT_READ) = 0 mprotect(0x7fffac2b3000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC|PROT_GROWSDOWN) = 0 mprotect(0x7fa596fc3000, 8388608, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC) = 0 close(13) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Additional info: * package version(s) 0.7.0-1 * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: [darose@daroselin ~]$ arora www.cnn.com Segmentation fault |
This task depends upon
Methinks the solution is: don't use Arora cause it's broken crap! :-)
But, as I'm a Java developer, uninstalling Java keeps me from doing work, and so I can't just do that in the middle of the work day.
Please re-open, and I'll test out your suggestion at home when I have a moment.
That said, uninstalling java is obviously not a workable solution to this problem, as people often need to use it for numerous other purposes.
Besides which, we're ignoring the real issue here. Which is that Arora shouldn't crash with jdk/jre installed.
And don't forget that it might be the plugin that crashes and Arora with it.
* Try with openjdk6
* Disable java plugin in Arora
I wonder why this report was reopend if you don't want to help narrowing the problem down. But its pretty sure an upstream problem. But this way we will never know if its Sun JRE, Arora, webkit, QT or something else.
But I agree, this probably is an upstream problem. Which is why I'm puzzled by everyone's attempts here to just "solve" this by "switch to openjdk so we can close this bug".
There is a bug here. The browser crashes when it should not. Seems to me that the cause of this should be identified before we can close this bug. I don't understand why you're trying to make me out to be the bad guy here. I'm just trying to help get a bug fixed.
That said, Java plugin does not appear to be working with openjdk6, as embedded applets do not appear in pages. (e.g.: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~harrison/Java/sorting-demo.html) But that's a separate issue.
If it does - did you report the bug to Arora devs?
I have not yet reported the bug upstream - was waiting to hear from the brain trust here whether they thought it was an upstream bug, vs. just Arch-specific.
