Package: iceweasel Version: 2.0.0.6-0etch1 Severity: important Tags: patch When the iceweasel profile is stored in an afs filesystem (standard practice where users' home directories are in afs), the profile locking mechanism is broken. This causes users to see a message such as the following:
"Iceweasel is already running, but is not responding. To open a new windows, you must first close the existing Iceweasel process, or restart your system". Users must manually delete the lock file by doing something like: rm -f ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/.parentlock A third-party patch that tries to work around this problem is available here: http://wwwu.uni-klu.ac.at/agebhard/firefox-nolock.html While we don't have a lot of Thunderbird users here, I'm told that this same problem affects current versions of Thunderbird as well. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 2.17 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-0 1.12.4-3 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.2.4-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.2.1-5+etch1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-21 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.8.20-7 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libmyspell3c2 1:3.1-18 MySpell spellchecking library ii libpango1.0-0 1.14.8-5 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-1 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-21 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.8.2-8 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.1-4.1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxp6 1:1.0.0.xsf1-1 X Printing Extension (Xprint) clie ii libxrender1 1:0.9.1-3 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.2-2 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii psmisc 22.3-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime iceweasel recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
