Update. No core file is produced, and running firefox under gdb gives nothing. The "apt-cache search firefox debug" command does not show any package related to firefox-3. The problem reproduces fairly regularly. Example of a gdb session:
$ ulimit -c 10000 $ gdb [...] (gdb) file /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b5/firefox Reading symbols from /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b5/firefox...(no debugging symbols found)...done. (gdb) break gdk_x_error Function "gdk_x_error" not defined. Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y Breakpoint 1 (gdk_x_error) pending. (gdb) run --sync [...] [New Thread 0x40c5d950 (LWP 24772)] [Thread 0x40c5d950 (LWP 24772) exited] [New Thread 0x40c5d950 (LWP 24773)] The program 'firefox' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadIDChoice (invalid resource ID chosen for this connection)'. (Details: serial 147095966 error_code 14 request_code 153 minor_code 4) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.) Program exited with code 01. (gdb) quit I'm still confused as to what I could or should do to help pin down the source of the trouble. -- firefox-3.0b5 received an X Window System error: 'BadIDChoice' https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220628 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
