Summary: crash exists after removing compiz, viewing content at http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4986
with firefox still causes firefox->Xorg crash, black screen, X reset.
Even after activation, apport will not provide crash dump. At best it intermittently leaves
behind a .lock file in /var/crash
Well, I suppose since compiz was removed, it is not compiz's
fault...also still can't get apport to do anything
$ sudo apt-get remove compiz
is it gone...? Yes.
$ sudo apt-cache policy compiz
compiz:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1:0.7.4-0ubuntu6
Version table:
1:0.7.4-0ubuntu6 0
500 http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu hardy/main Packages
Now to try to get apport going
emacs /etc/default/apport
# set this to 0 to disable apport, or to 1 to enable it
enabled=1
# set maximum core dump file size (default: 209715200 bytes == 200 MB)
maxsize=209715200
*REBOOT*
log back in
bring up firefox
visit http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4986
X crashes...black screen...login again...no apport response
only a .lock file in /var/crash
The following apport behavior seems screwy... according to the source in
/etc/init.d/apport it is supposed to recognize that it has been started already
when started a 2nd time and give a different exit code.
sudo /etc/init.d/apport startsudo /etc/init.d/apport start
* Starting automatic crash report generation: apport [ OK ]
pjb at pjb-linux-desktop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apport start
* Starting automatic crash report generation: apport [ OK ]
pjb at pjb-linux-desktop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apport start
* Starting automatic crash report generation: apport [ OK ]
pjb at pjb-linux-desktop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/apport start
* Starting automatic crash report generation: apport [ OK ]
Is there some other setting I could be missing to get apport to work
correctly?
Anyway, I will try to go through the mozilla backtrace procedure later
when I can have some time.
Thanks in advance for reading all of this.
