Firefox 26 and Chrome 31 starting problem

densp · January 13, 2014, 2:17pm

Since this morning (after applying some updates suggested by apper) I am not able to launch Firefox (26.0-4.2) and google-chrome-stable (31.0.1650.63.1).
Starting Firefox gives:

:~>firefox

I would appreciate any idea how to fix the problem with browsers.

wolfi323 · January 13, 2014, 2:30pm

Do you have libpango-1_0 installed and is it the 64bit version?

rpm -qi libpango-1_0

As a sidenote, you shouldn’t use Apper to update your Tumbleweed system as that doesn’t do “vendor change”, i.e. it won’t switch your system packages to the Tumbleweed versions. The only supported method is to call “zypper dup”.
If you do want to use Apper, you should at least enable “solver.allowVendorChange” in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, this should make Apper behave more like “zypper dup”.

And it is off course much better to ask in the Tumbleweed forum if you use Tumbleweed. I hve no doubt Tumbleweed gurus will lure there and only part of them here.rotfl!

Not sure if you got this fixed yet?

But I had a very very similar problem this morning, after a lot of hair
pulling and going through the error/crash report from firefox it appears to
have stemmed from me using the gtk version of qtcurve for qtk apps ( system
settings>application appearance>qtcurve )

This also affected konqueror and any other browser in KDE, yet konqueror
worked ok in xfce but firefox, reconq still crashed and burned.

Not sure yet if there is a fix or not as I have only just got in and got
things working.

Greatly appreciated! … I’ve not very much hair left to pull out. Same problem as the OP, started after this mornings updates.

Also affected Thunderbird, Filezilla, and Gimp.

Thanks Baskitcaise. It was indeed GTK2 theme, that causes the problem preventing Firefox and Chrome from starting. Changed the GTK2 theme to oxygen-gtk, and Firefox and Chrome work again :). Konqueror on KDE worked for me with qtcurve as a GTK2 theme, but I didn’t test it for possible complains with qtcurve.

Of course. Konqueror is a KDE application and does not use any GTK2 theme.
It is possible to set your KDE style to “Gtk+ Style”, but I think it uses the GTK3 theme then (I’m not sure though, it could be the GTK2 theme as well).

The problem is qtcurve-1.8.17-fix_run_command.patch which should “Fix
bug starting up GTK2+ applications” but still again easytag don’t start
with this version and the problem with firefox is not fine.

Here i have more problems after this update and so i have to compile
qtcurve without this patch plus compile plasmoid-quickaccess and
plasmoid-smooth-tasks2 to have the same as before. Before doing this i
can’t log into the KDE Desktop.

Yep, it puzzled me a bit as to why konqeror would crash, it would open a
page but if it tried to open another in a tab or from a link it just died
(???)

I did not attempt to look into that though as my changing of the gtk theme
seemed to fix all, I was in a bit of a rush at the time.

All seems fine now using a different theme, will await maybe another fix.

Anyway glad I could help in some way

Update of QTcurve packages today (2014/Jan/15) has now fixed this, at least for me.

Version 1.8.17 Build 17.1 - Implement a better runCommand fixing firefox issues.

Yep seems to have fixed here as well.

My other problems with stuff seem to stem from me using a slightly ( ahem! )
non standard intel graphics module ( I was testing some self compiled Xorg
stuff, mea culpa ) trying to squeeze a little more power out of my laptop
GPU so that was a red herring on the other apps.

Cheers.
