Hi grandma
When posting the output of dmesg, ps, or any other long listing, please place the contents in a file
and then attach the file to your post.

Code: [Select]

dmesg > dmesg,txt
ps > ps.txt

[maro]

Or (to continue with the advice from reply #16) instead of using attachments here (which have a certain per user limit across all attachments for a given user) use a service like 'pastebin.com' as an out-of-forum storage space.

As I recently realised you don't even have to create a login to use that one. Plus including a URL here in a posting is something I can do faster then creating an attachment, as (at least for myself) fewer changes between keyboard and mouse are required.

[grandma]

my apology to Jason - didn't know I "double posted" - thought it was the same thread

at any rate............

now firefox won't come up at all

To check if RAM was the problem, I stripped all applications out of the boot process - no flash - no alsa - no leafpad - nothing.

No firefox.

But if I type at a command line - firefox google.com etc. - it runs

And if I script it  - it runs.

But if I run it during the boot process - even though it is loaded - it "runs" (according to PS report) - but never shows up - as in "pops open the page"

Can anyone explain why the PS report shows "official firefox running that page" - but it doesn't appear on the JWM desktop for a user to see - its running "background"

? hmmmmmmmmmmm

Also - on flash within firefox - running a local video.flv file - as inside an html page - always worked - and now it does not - I get a "SAVE OR CANCEL" message (never could get Opera to play flash).

But if I load VLC - Firefox will play the video automatically.

So its as if the plug ins or some "dependent" supplied by the VLC load allows Firefox to play a flash video - flv file - but without the VLC, it cannot.

QUESTION: Is there a reason to use flash10FF vs flash10 regular vs Flash10.gz from Adobe's site?

QUESTION: Is there a specific folder I can load libflashplayer.so into so Firefox recognizes it? As an earlier post said, I can't "add anything" to the folder Adobe recommended - says READ ONLY -  so wondered if I could use a different folder - in case anyone knew what that was.

Everything booted fine (except for Firefox crashing regularly on certain web pages) - until I began "reducing" the files that loaded on boot (funny, eh?) - and now firefox won't play in foreground - and won't update sessionstore.js files - but PS says it is running.

Am checking methods of loading it now - the answer must lie in the way it is called on boot.

As for the crash issues, how can I expect the crew at TC - or any OS - to fix Flash10 (many known problems) or Firefox (many known problems) - frankly, one of the most unstable bits of trash I've ever used, as much as I prefer it over IE - but I have to say, Opera runs faster and if it played Flash, I'd probably dump Firefox for at least a year after this nightmare.

I still remember versions 3x - you would print or make a PDF from a web page and it couldn't even get the ol - list tags right - Firefox would count 1 - 2 - 3 - then jump to numbers like 10005, 11095 etc.

And yes - IE had its problems - couldn't do javascript math in the tens of millions without dropping dollars...so they all have issues.

Frankly, I'd bet if RobertS wrote a browser (that played Flash), the world might be a better place.

Path issue?

First I figured out how to do this:

runline="firefox http://google.com &"
qmsg=$(. $runline)
qmsg="Tried $runline result $qmsg"
echo "$qmsg"

and the result says

Cannot find Firefox runtime directory. Exiting.

So I hunted down Firefox and tried this

fpath="/usr/local/firefox-official"
PATH=$PATH:$fpath
export PATH
runline="firefox http://google.com &"
qmsg=$(. $runline)
qmsg="Tried $runline result $qmsg"
echo "$qmsg"

Same result - can't find it

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Whereas the original post started with "Firefox crashes" - I can't even get it to run anymore unless I manually go to a terminal prompt and type firefox http://google.com

Clicking icons or calling scripts like that doesn't do anything.

I ran to that recently; or a similar issue at least.

Firefox (more accurately NSS) needs entropy when starting up. When just booted up, there is not much of this randomness available, and so FF may appear running in top but not show up until there is enough randomness. Typing and moving the mouse a bit resolves this issue.

[grandma]

That's sorta funny - to get the fox going - ya gotta throw it a bone or two.

Here is what I did - seemed to have cured it...kinda messy, but a patch that works.

First, as the system boots I have a program monitoring things - and loading aps. Some folks knock me for not putting things like the tce-load leafpad process into onboot.lst - but I keep that file very tight - and an init.sh script does the work. I realize some things - most things - might load faster from onboot - but its not too bad to watch wbar fill up one at a time.

That used to be just ONE init.sh program running - and at the end of 10 - 20 (sometimes 40) seconds, it would fire off firefox - nothing, nada, zip.

So I back-traced "what" was calling my init.sh program - step by step - and found if I dumped a call (duplicate) into the .X.d folder - and let 2 inits go - they would "wrestle" to call firefox first.

And I found that if I let the "LAST ONE" that was running init take the first crack at firefox, I got better results. Its as if the system had to 'calm down' after the boot process - or JWM had to get stable and fully loaded etc.

My init.sh was beating the initial boot - complete with laying out a dozen folders, doing a backup and loading aps - and sometimes trying to call FF before dmesg had stabilized.

So I started waiting for JWM to appear in the ps report. I'd let everything sit tight until then. Then I'd let the most recent - "highest PID" init.sh do the firefox call.

and the other init.sh programs would sit back and "wait and see" if the first "contender" could get ff to light up in the PS report - and to make sure, it calls a web page that "gives a pulse" - all kinds of things light up when that loads.

And if - after 30 - 60 seconds - no pulse - then the next init.sh - waiting till now - dusts everything related to that attempt - kill -9 etc. - and makes an attempt and calls a new init.sh to run background.

This process continues until at least 3 init.sh are loaded - waiting - then stops calling new init.sh - but continues to "hammer" on firefox until it lights up.

and when a pulse if felt - then all the init.sh that are waiting are terminated.

The new process typically gets it on the first try - about 10 - 15 seconds - and if not - if for any reason Firefox hangs - about 1 in 20 times - then the hammer process seems to have cured it and it gets it on attempt 2 or 3 - haven't seen it go further than that.

Pain? Yes. Patch? Absolutely. Not required if I put FF in onboot.lst - not sure if that would cure it.

Works? Yup - and works consistently 100+ tests thus far - and I'm ok with that.

The only "side effect" (every cure has one) - I have seen double flash logos or a double fox logo appear in wbar if 2 inits hit that "tce-load" process at the same time.

The cure for that might be to look for /tmp/tcloop/some_application_folder - and refrain from loading something twice. I tried that and found sometimes flash, firefox, vlc or some other ap didn't load or run, even though a /tmp/tcloop/apfolder existed...hmmmm...so again - hammer it until I am sure its all there and keep hammering until I get a firefox pulse.

That brute force method seems to work.

TWP WORK AROUNDS THAT SEEMS TO STOP THE CRASHING


The crashing appears to be Flash or VLC related - as the pages that seem to "ka-blow" generally have an SWF embedded in them.

My Firefox has VLC set as the player (not sure why it does that - perhaps that is causing some conflict with Flash).

But I noticed that if a Firefox browser opened right away and had a Flash video in it - before any other page loaded - it didn't seem to crash - but if I opened a page AFTER the first no-flash page - then ka-blow - crashed.

So now I set my home page - first page - to include a framed flash video - and the rest of the pages seem to work - and not crash when Firefox encounters flash.

Not sure how/why Firefox crashes if it starts with a non-flash page and finds a flash page later - but this "work around" seems to get Firefox in gear to handle flash pages later.

SECOND METHOD

1. The Firefox folder - /home/tc/.mozilla/firefox/some123numbers.default

Inside files such as prefs.js and sessionstore.js etc.

2. I start Firefox with a script

3. Let it run for 5 - 10 seconds

4. Dust it (kill -9) - this creates the folder (if it doesn't already exist)

5. Once dead, I copy a saved version of prefs.js - which has my settings - into that folder

6. But leave all other files intact

7. Restart firefox - flash seems to run ok and doesn't crash.
