hello
i've got a new problem following a dist upgrade on an xfce
aptosid (i686) version (hd install)
dist-upgrade went wrong, i got several issues like uncomplete and missing stuff, wich was finally solved after
several apt-get -f install, dpkg --configure -a, and du again.
after what, i had a strange issue where i was unable to start a session after login screen (entering password was sending me back to login screen). did apt-get update, du again , that was finally ok.
but, as iceweasel is not starting anymore, i did a complete uninstall of iceweasel using apt-get purge,(but this did not removed the package ...?)
after what i did a reinstall : idem
using the xdg-browser-laucher gives me an input-output error,
trying to launch iceweasel from menu gives nothing. exit iceweasel !
if somebody would be kind enough to help me solve this issue, i would be very gratefull.

open a terminal and start it there, that could give some more information.
you can also try in safe mode using "iceweasel -safe-mode" that would disable all plugins you have installed and could help to find the problem |

hello
already tried, this gave no result...
and same error message as before... i wonder if there is a PATH related issue ? 've read something related to it and modified the LD_LIBRARY_PATH :
Quote:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-10.0
error messages says now libnss3.so is missing (instead of libxul)
so i tried :
Quote:
#apt-get install libnss3
wich told me libnss3 was already the latest version...
after what, i did a reinstall of libnss3 :
Quote:
#apt-get install --reinstall libnss3
and after starting successfully in safe mode, i now can start iceweasel normally. I am not quite certain everything is fixed yet, because iceweasel continues randomly to close unexpectedly, wich was already an issue before i did the du.

hi
i just ended reading your post and did the trick : it apparently works !
thanks,
apog
EDIT
i lately re-used that machine and get again in trouble concerning iceweasel : it closes unexpectedly with no special warning.
So i am about to switch that machine to debian 6.06 because i consider aptosid to be untrustable again (xfce version), and i have not so much time to spend looking for solutions (been again spending hours trying to figure out what's going on) |

This leads me to speak about my feelings concerning aptosid : don't know what's going on with aptosid but i am really disapointed with it. This was my favorite os since recently, but too many difficulties lead me to use kubuntu on my laptop, because of several little misbeahvings i already tried to solve with no success and no answers on my kde aptosid install ... (trouble with pad; no resume after closing lead, trouble with wifi management, strange graphical artifacts, and others : to the point i stopped my contribution to the manual translation because aptosid became unusable and i was often obliged to restart the machine after wrong resuming after closing lead or even after a "normal" sleeping time : and NO, i don't want to edit aptosid french manual pages from an ubuntu OS this makes no sense !)
i am not trusting ubuntu that much, i do not like it that much, it is buggy and heavy, but ... it works.
As no solutions shows up concerning aptosid on my laptop, i will probably switch to debian 6.06 (kde) if i can get it working fine after a testing period in order to get rid of kubuntu (i have 2 partitions for testing purposes in addition to the "main" aptosid os partition).
I understand aptosid is a small community and you guys have much more things to think about but basic users, but now i tell you : I need a working system, included those little things developpers might consider secondary... and i am again looking for an alternative, although i've been doing a lot of advocacy to support aptosid, wich once upon a time was the very best debian distro for me.

iceweasel started in safe-mode should always work as it disables all plugins
as last resort remove all things related with iceweasel and reinstall them
Code:
apt-get purge xulrunner-* libnspr4* iceweasel*
and then reinstall iceweasel
Code:
apt-get install iceweasel
before starting the weasel again backup (and move your profile away)
Code:
mv ~/.mozilla .mozilla.backup

hi thanks x-un-i
i really apreciate you tried helping, still i feel tired of trying various things for hours with no result.
i was reinstalling completely from scratch (i mean, aptosid), doing upgrades, etc. this took me a long time,
i have not installed any plugin and shortly after restarting machine got again this sudden closing of iceweasel and no way to restart it normally.
as i was saying just before i will stay away from aptosid because i think i spend way too much time trying to solve unsolvable things. i will come back sometimes here, well, say because i think maybe some things will change in aptosid
but my hope is weak.
Too bad because aptosid is a great distro... but i was probably too pretentious thinking i may use it as my main distro.
i'm on the way to switch to an other debian derivated or debian itself...
thanks again, and maybe to see you again in a while,
apog |
