[gentoo-user] web browsers crash at sourceforge.net project pages

[gentoo-user] web browsers crash at sourceforge.net project pages

[José Romildo Malaquias]

Hello.

On my ~amd64 systems some web browsers (Mozilla Firefox 10.0.1, Midori
0.4.3, Opera 11.61 Build 1250) just crash when loading any
sourceforge.net project page. Konquerer does not crash, though.

I have already run revdep-rebuild, but the problem persists.

Has anybody seen this? Any clues?

Uninstall adobe-flash and try again.  If it works then, then you know 
that Flash is causing this.

The web browsers still crash after uninstalling adobe-flash.

Can you verify that some local flash installation is not left behind? 
Does for example YouTube still work?  Try playing a video and see what 
the output of:

   lsof | grep libflash

is.  It should be empty.

Also, when you start the browser from the command-line, what does it 
print when it crashes?

They work for me, but in the olden days I had a similar problem that
was due to a corrupt font. Every time a site would use that font (or
specific glyph?) it would die.

After uninstalling almost media-fonts/* packages, the problem still
happens.

"lsof | grep libflash" output is empty.

I belive no local flash installation has been left behind:

$ locate libflash | grep -v ^/usr/portage
/usr/lib64/libreoffice/basis3.4/program/libflashlx.so.bak


To test the flash player plugin I visisted the page at
http://www.ultrasounds.com/, which tells me the plugin is missing.

Is there anything interesting in that log file?  If not, firefox-bin
has a 'crashreporter' function that might create a useful log.

The problem was with some packages installed from the lcd-filtering
overlay. After removing the overlay and reinstalled them, the web
browsers do not crash anymore.

# emerge -avt1 corefonts media-fonts/dejavu liberation-fonts fontconfig freetype x11-libs/cairo libXf
