For reasons unknown Galeon will start to decide to crash a second or two after loading. Deleting the ~/.galeon directory does not resolve it, nor does removing galeon and reinstalling or upgrading it. The workaround I found was to delete the ~/.gconf and ~/.gconfd directories These directories hold the screen layout of gnome apps so the galeon bug is possibly related to window size. It may be sufficient to only delete ./gconf/apps/galeon but I will not find that out until the next time it happens to me..

I will try that if Galeon ever crashes on me, and then I will add a tutorial to my site if it proves helpful. Thanks for that tip! sisob Senior user Joined: 02 May 2002 Posts: 207 Location: Ireland Post Posted: Fri May 31, 2002 5:29 pm Post subject: Re: Does your Galeon Segfault? _________________________________________________________________ delboy711 wrote: These directories hold the screen layout of gnome apps so the galeon bug is possibly related to window size. well, to be accurate, the gconf system is similar(but supperior) to the windows registry - all application settings in the prefereneces menus are stored in the .gconf and .gconfd folders. Windows size would be handled by whatever windows manager is running. delboy711 Senior user Joined: 03 May 2002 Posts: 412 Location: Wokingham, UK Post Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2002 7:43 am Post subject: Galeon segfaulting on completing forms _________________________________________________________________ There seems to be a bug in Galeon (1.2.5 and below) which causes it to segfault when you complete a form to log into certain web sites (such as Mandrake Forum, but _not_ Mandrake User) The segfault will only happen if Galeon is started from the KDE menu. It will not happen if Galeon is started in another WM or from the konsole in KDE, or from a KDE desktop link to application. Why :- ----- The Mandrake KDE menu starts Galeon with the artsdsp sound system. The bug is in the way galeon and artsdsp work together. Start Galeon without arts, and there is no problem. darksun Newbie Joined: 05 May 2002 Posts: 8 Post Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2002 6:06 pm Post subject: Re: Galeon segfaulting on completing forms _________________________________________________________________ There seems to be a bug in Galeon (1.2.5 and below) which causes it to segfault when you complete a form to log into certain web sites (such as Mandrake Forum, but _not_ Mandrake User) The segfault will only happen if Galeon is started from the KDE menu.

It happened to me, and it happened when I completed the form for Mandrake User. And I was working in Gnome. So maybe this segfault problem is bigger. darksun Editor's note: This thread was originally posted at the old MUB (Mandrake User Board at club-nihil).
