Last night I did apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade on my Debian Sid system. The new XFree has improved the display, thankfully, which was sluggish and buggy after the last dist-upgrade. But now, Mozilla (1.7.1) won't run: it segfaults: -------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mozilla selected UILocale: en-US selected ContentLocale: US Segmentation fault [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ -------------------------- Firefox, which I also have on the system and which was also upgraded, starts ok but keeps crashing when I visit certain sites (e.g., Ebay). -------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mozilla-firefox ww.ebay.com selected locale: en-US

The upshot is that I'm stuck without a graphical browser. Dillo does work, but due to its limitations is unsuitable for many things. I assume I'm up against the sort of stability problems Sid is supposed to have, given it's experimental nature: does that sound correct? I can't really function for very long without a reliable graphical browser, though. Is there anything I can do to get one or the other - or perhaps some third one - working? I did try update(ing) and dist-upgrade(ing) again this morning, recalling Ray having said that these sorts of problems are often promptly sorted out by the Debian folks, but nothing got upgraded. Input and solutions will be appreciated. James PS The last version of Firefox (8.2) I had on this machine was buggy as well, crashing when I would try to visit certain sites. The current version is 9.1-4 and the current Mozilla version is 1.7.1. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
