Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  This is not reproducable. Crashes caused by the new OpenJDK plugin are something different and should be tracked down in a new issue report.

Can you provide specific examples? I haven't been able to reproduce this

This is a bug with libwebkit and not with arora. I have gotten the same thing with midori and libwebkit (gtk). The crashes have minimized with new versions of libwebkit but I still get them from time to time. I'm afraid there is not a whole lot you can do right now. You'd have to file upstream to the qt team as they provide the qt libwebkit libs. They'd likely tell you to file upstream with the libwebkit project. I have no idea how to compile the qt version of webkit from upstream source.

Appears to be a libwebkit but, reassigning.
Comment by Andreas Radke (AndyRTR) - Saturday, 10 April 2010, 08:32 GMT
please report it upstream.

Upstream Tracker: bugs.webkit.org

Make to select Webkit QT under component.

#qt @ freenode.net
07:04 < pyther> thiago_home: where should qt webkit bugs be tracked at?
07:04 < thiago_home> bugs.webkit.org

@ghost1227 this should be marked as a qt bug and not a libwebkit bug
06:55 < pyther> Does qt build against the systems libwebkit or does it have its own version of webkit that gets used?
06:57 < thiago_home> pyther: its own version

qt maitainers please have a look.

The bug report has too less information to do anything about it. First of all you should disable all third party plugins like flash, openoffice, mplayer, java etc.. There is quite a high propability that those are causing the problems.

What webpage causes this behavior? Does it happen with libwebkit(gtk) 1.2.0? This isn't an arch issue, it is an issue with upstream. I have pages that crash with libwebkit every now an then with a nearly identical segfault dump besides libQtWebKit.so being libwebkite.so (gtk version) though the backend code is much the same.

Ignore...

Same crash with rekonq and kwebkitpart-svn

But it's quite strange, i haven't update any package and now it doesn't crash anymore ...

Maybe an issue with xorg stack...

Ok, i think i know what make webkit crash

pacman -R openjdk fix the problem for me with rekonq, konqueror and arora.

There is something wrong in last openjdk release.

libwebkit shouldn't crash if a plugin fails to load or malfunctions. Please report this upstream. Not much the arch devs can do here....

Edit: I somehow got other messages via mail notfication.

Anyway: It's probably a bug in openjdk which depends on Firefox/xulrunner etc.. This cannot be fixed in current webkit, but webkit2 will be safe due to its multi process architecture similar to chromium. The openjdk plugin will still crash, but not the browser.
