Title: Problems Starting Program
Post by: Gatu on December 09, 2006, 12:58:38 pm

Hi,

when I start Firefox from the rxvt terminal, it starts without any problem (but takes long time to start).
When I start from the icon on the desktop it wont start.
I ssh into the machine and make ps ax several times. I can see that the firefox processes are running as on normal start but then suddenly they stop.

I observed similar behaviour in other apps which take long time to start sometimes.

Is there some kind of time-out somwhere in the setting which kills processes if they take to long to start?
How can I change this?

Or may there be some other issue which applies only when I start from the icon?

Thanks for help!

Br,
Gatu

When launching from the console do you get any errors about firefox already running?

No error messages or warning, nothing at all from Firefox. Just some messages from scim. In case of launching from the icon scim is also launched (I can see the running processes).
I removed scim to check but the problem persists.

I removed Firefox and installed it again and now it works :-)

I don't want to dash your hopes but I'm pretty sure you're hitting this bug:

Up to now once it started sucessfully it never crashed. But I did not give heavy usage to it...
