System name: dit.mit.edu
Type and version: Ultra-5_10 9.1.26 (with mkserv)
Display type: m
Shell: /bin/athena/tcsh
Window manager: sawfish
What were you trying to do?
send mozilla to a URL that uses a helper application (ivview) to
view a VRML1 file
What's wrong:
it fails. usually crashing mozilla
What should have happened:
the obvious
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I'm configuring ivview as helper app as follows:
Description: VRML1 viewer
MIME type: model/vrml
Suffix: wrl,vrml
Handled by application: /afs/athena/software/inventor/arch/@sys/bin/ivview
I go to the following URL:
http://web.mit.edu/3.091/www/cryst/ and click on any of the "VRML example"
links below each Java applet example- the helper app actually launches and
displays the example, but mozilla crashes at the same instant.
On an Ultra 5, I get the following error in the launch gterm:
dit.mit.edu:~ athena% mozilla
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 131 (MIT-SHM)
Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (X_ShmAttach)
Serial number of failed request: 38469
Current serial number in output stream: 38470
dit.mit.edu:~ athena% mozilla
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 131 (MIT-SHM)
Minor opcode of failed request: 1 (X_ShmAttach)
Serial number of failed request: 14764
Current serial number in output stream: 14765
On a blade, I get no error message, but mozilla still crashes. On an Athena
9.2 test blade, the helper app doesn't launch, mozilla doesn't crash but I get
an error dialog like this:
File /tmp/foo.wrl could not be opened, because an unknown error ocurred.
On a 9.1 Linux machine, everything works properly. Didn't try a 9.2 Linux
machines.
