[gentoo-user] Java corruption after power failure

[Nelis Lamprecht]

Hi,

We recently had a power failure and after booting up my system which
was shut off abruptly I am having problems with Firefox, Gaim and
probably other prorgams I haven't yet discovered. Whenever I visit a
site which has java my browser freezes up and the same thing happens
when someone tries to send me a message via Gaim. I then have to kill
the effected app.

I've tried recompiling blackdown-jre and blackdown-jdk as well as
recompiling Firefox and Gaim but I still get the same result. I have
turned off java in Firefox for now which allows me to carry on with my
work but obviously I would like to get this fixed.

Does anyone have any other suggestions for me ? What else do Firefox
and Gaim have in common that I could possibly re-install ? ..I've
forgotten how to check the dependencies.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Nelis

Try

'emerge -po <package_name>'

to get a list of depencies.

does it happen for all users, or only the one logged in, when it crashed?
Do you still have the problem, when you are removing the ~/.mozilla directory?
Have you booted from a bootcd and fscked your system?

For example GTK+. Otherwise try the command below. It will show you
common dependencies of Gaim and Firefox:

(equery -C depgraph mozilla-firefox && equery -C depgraph gaim) | \
sed 's#^ \+`--##' | sort | uniq -d

equery depends <package>
equery is part of gentoolkit


Cheers,
Renat

I'm still battling with this one. Even if I move the ~/.mozilla
directory and startup firefox it still freezes with java enabled when
I visit a web site with java. All my browsers(Firefox, Epiphany etc)
have the same problem including Gaim so it's definately java related.
I'm just not sure what else to try re-install as I have re-installed
all of blackdown and the mozilla-launcher. Is there a way to rebuild
an ebuild along with _all_ it's dependancies ? I want to rebuild
firefox along with all it's dependencies instead of going through one
by one.

Thanks.

Maybe it helps when you force portage to update all packages in the
dependency tree:

'emerge -Du <package_name>'

Did you change USE-Flags after the system crash?
Do you still get the problem after deleting all Java-specific
configuration files?

No USE flag changes. If I do a emerge -Du I simply get the message
">>> No outdated packages were found on your system." which I knew
already.

Again, I want to re-install all dependencies of mozilla-firefox. How
do I go about this ?

Thanks.

If you really want to install ALL dependencies, the command is

emerge --emptytree --ask mozilla-firefox.
