I'll verify the issue is happening with my system: HP PA-8600 552mhz (2 cpu's)
at the #gen stage in /usr/sbin/update-mozilla-firefox-chrome: firefox-bin -register >/dev/null 2>&1 ||... I remove the redirects to /dev/null to allow firefox to output. No change in behavior is offered, firefox.bin simply doesn't print errors at this stage. Next: strace: strace firefox-bin -register ||... Last actions by firefox are brk(0x220000) = 0x220000 brk(0) =0 write(9, (binary data), 148) = 148 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, NULL, [RTMIN], 8) =0 rt_sigsuspend([] <unfinished...> --- SIGRTMIN (Unknown signal 37) @ 0 (0) --- <...rt_sigsuspend resumed>) =-1 EINTR (Interrupted system call) rt_sigreturn(0) =-1 EINTER (Interrupted system call) waitpid(5431, NULL, __WCLONE) =5431 exit_group(1) =? At this point, firefox-bin -register exits with returncode 1. I dug, and found no open() for fd 9. Apparently a child process opens it and returns the handle to this process(?). Tracing firefox of course is a nightmare, and I'm forced to give up. Firefox ignores or never reaches the -debug and -safe-mode flags. Unable to continue. :( -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
