Hi.
Thanks for your bug report. Our mozilla launch script invokes the
gdialog program when it detects a (possibly stale) lock file in the
mozilla profile directory; gdialog then presents some choices on
how to proceed. gdialog is apparently crashing for you, thus aborting
the mozilla launch entirely.
If you are still encountering this problem, please try the following
to help us debug this crash. At the shell prompt, enter the following
commands:
athena% tcsh
athena% cd ~rbasch/raber
athena% unlimit coredumpsize
athena% env GNOME_DISABLE_CRASH_DIALOG=1 mozilla
athena% exit
When gdialog crashes, it should now leave a core file in the connected
directory, which I can examine.
To resolve the immediate problem, if you are certain that you are not
running mozilla on any Athena machine, you can safely remove the lock
file from the profile directory, as follows:
athena% cd
athena% rm .mozilla/*/*.slt/lock
You should now be able to launch mozilla normally.
Bob
