After Todays zypper dup browsers no longer work (TW)

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I did a zypper dup today and one thing that was updated was the kernel. Now none of the browsers work. Firefox crashes upon launch and Chrome and Vivaldi don’t launch at all, Other programs seem fine and internet works. If I drop back to last snapshot all is well. Anyone know if this is a problem with the update or is something else happening?

Thanks.

Hi
No issues here with Firefox on TW (GNOME DE), as always create a test user and does it duplicate to see if it’s a system issue or a user issue (configs and such).

#3

I fixed it. I uninstalled Firefox and now Chrome and Vilvaldi work again. I reinstalled Firefox and everything still works. Weird stuff!

#4

Hi all,
I have the same problem but on leap 42.3
Konqueror is working but not firefox or google-chrome

I will try to reinstall both browsers

#5

If its the same problem that I had then you only need to uninstall then reinstall Firefox and the other browsers will work also.
It seems they updated the kernel again the very next day so maybe just doing today’s update might fix it also.

#6

Please, think: Why would uninstall/reinstall work? Linux / openSUSE is stable and this means it would recreate the same situation as before uninstalling. There is no magic in computing.

#7

I’ve seen none of the issues reported, neither on KDE nor on GNOME. Shame is that we now have no way to find out what actually went wrong.

#8

i know it could be uselss but hope ios the latest to die

Where should i post on kde?
