I am experiencing some problems with pcb crashing/ not starting if
firefox is running at the same time.
Has anyone seen this behavior before?
If pcb is already running:
Once firefox is started, pcb will run for a while but any actions (such
as opening the library window, zooming in, or opening the command line
may make it crash.
Firefox is already running:
opening pcb results in the main pcb window opening for just a second,
then shutting down immediately. The results are the same whether I start
from the main menu, command line, or clicking a filename in the file
manager.
The error is usually a segmentation fault in /var/log/messages:
May 11 12:04:13 fussbudget kernel: [197095.793247] pcb[24272]: segfault
at 60 ip 00007f991fa097d2 sp 00007ffc6566c4f0 error 4 in
i915_dri.so[7f991f73d000+51c000]
May 11 12:04:13 fussbudget kernel: pcb[24272]: segfault at 60 ip
00007f991fa097d2 sp 00007ffc6566c4f0 error 4 in i915_dri.so[7f991f73d000
+51c000]
If I try to open pcb (w/ ff running) from a command line, I also get a
dbus error on stdout:
"pcb_dbus: DBus connection Error (Did not receive a reply. Possible
causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message
bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the
network connection was broken.)
Segmentation fault"
The only way I have been able to get pcb up & running once this happens
is to reboot the pc (and of course not open firefox) This has been
happening for a few months at least. Unfortunately I can't pin it down
to a certain update or anything like that. I perform fairly regular
updates every few weeks.
The pcb version is 20110918 (the latest one in the Fedora repo) and the
file version I've been working with is 20070407
The system is Fedora 20 running on a 2.5 Ghz dual core Intel with 2 Gb
ram. The video is unfortunately Mesa which I have heard can cause
trouble with i915_dri.so and some graphic apps. However, This pc has
always used Mesa and I definitely have not had this problem for ever -
I've been using pcb off and on for at least 8 years...
For the record, I have deleted & reinstalled both pcb and Firefox.
Anyone?
