Re: [Modified] Programs Crash and KDE Spontaneously Restarts!

2nd attempt to post this message since the first time suffered another FF crash!

You're correct about kdesudo, but this is the output:

There sure are a lot of error messages. Does this look correct to you?

I didn't know about root-actions. Thanks, I 'll get on that right away.

Yeah, I'm not too worried about gnubg crashing as much as a browser crashing. That's getting very old very quickly.

I installed Opera to see if anything would be different. It's not. That crashes to according to the crashlog ouput, Opera got a SIGEGV at address 08C32A18 whatever that means.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you've got adobe-flash installed?

If nepomuk is crashing dolphin you can try removing or disabling it and see if that crash goes away.

Look in home/yourusername/.kde4/share/config/nepomukserverrc

[Basic Settings]
Start Nepomuk=true

[Service-nepomukmigration1]
autostart=false

[Service-nepomukstrigiservice]
autostart=true

[main Settings]
Maximum memory=50
Storage Dir[$e]=$HOME/.kde4/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/
Used Soprano Backend=virtuosobackend

If it has backend redland, that'll crash it too.

Re: [Modified] Programs Crash and KDE Spontaneously Restarts!

I had already removed nepomuk via Synaptic, but in the directory you cited, it was there. I deleted both folders since the program itself was already removed.

Here's another thing I think may be relevant for FF crashing. I copied this from another post I had similar to this one:

Start firefox, then select bookmarks/organise bookmarks/import and backup. My preference is to export to html. Export them. Close firefox.

Then in your file manager open the home directory selecting view/show hidden files. Go to the folder containing firefox (it may be .mozilla or .mozilla firefox or .firefox). Navigate into the folder until you see your profile folder which will be a long alphanumeric sequence followed by default. rename the folder (don't delete it yet) - the usual way is generally by following the file name with .old.

Restart firefox which will now be a virgin copy. Firstly import your bookmarks (bookmarks/organise bookmarks/import and backup and import the HTML file you earlier exported). Play around with firefox for a while. If there are no crashes you can then start installing extensions (best to download them again). Once you are happy with everything you can then remove the old profile.
HTH

Okay, to catch up, I opened FF, saved my BMs as an HTML file, opened Dolphin and went to /Home/.mozilla/firefox and renamed the
folder 83wlams6.default to 83wlams6.default.old. Then I closed FF and reopened it.

My BMs are still active?!?! The only thing that changed is the forum didn't know my auto-login. Could there be another FF directory? I don't get it.

I have not added any extensions to FF, but it did upgrade once or twice since installing Lynx. Any ideas?

FF should've booted like a new install, but it didn't. Why do think that is?

Re: [Modified] Programs Crash and KDE Spontaneously Restarts!

Seems to me if you want a totally fresh configure - rename the .mozilla folder in your home and re-launch firefox

Re: [Modified] Programs Crash and KDE Spontaneously Restarts!

Okay, I renamed .mozilla to .mozilla.old and ran FF from a terminal window. I then tried to import my bookmarks from an HTML file I saved before renaming the .mozilla file. The bookmarks did not import very well, but that's not a problem as I still have access to them.

Here's the possible issue:

mark@AMD-Phenom-II:~$ firefox
QInotifyFileSystemWatcherEngine::addPaths: inotify_add_watch failed: No such file or directory
QFileSystemWatcher: failed to add paths: /home/mark/.config/ibus/bus
Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address. 
IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon

I started FF the first time from kde and it crashed as soon as I clicked on import bookmarks. The 2nd time, I ran it from the console and the above messages are still displayed while I'm working in FF.

I'm about ready to start from scratch with a new install of 10.04. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Re: [Modified] Programs Crash and KDE Spontaneously Restarts!

Even though I removed the Nepomuk package, I still had some directories and files on my system that were not removed so I removed. them. Now I get a warning on boot up that the program is not available, but my system is stable! I would rather X a warning message once on boot up than suffer constant X.org restarts.

Stable is the most important feature for me, if it wasn't, I would have stayed a M$ Windoze user!

I'm calling this thread solved. Thanks again to everyone who weighed in on the discussion and offering suggestions and sharing their experience. It means a lot.

sudo apt-get autoremove

will clean up orphaned packages.
