Kieth Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) In terminal, I opened up Fire Fox 3, and began to use it. When it closed down, I received the following errors. $ firefox3 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8 /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 27665 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"} Any ideas on how to resolve the problem?

Greg2 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Do you have two versions of Firefox installed? Anyway, rename your ~/.mozilla directory to ~/.mozilla2. Then open Firefox3 and see if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Nope, that didn't work. Here's what I got in terminal. $ firefox3 GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0xb5b141f0: NP_GetMIMEDescription GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0xb5b141f0: NP_GetMIMEDescription return GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0xb5b141f0: NP_GetValue GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0xb5b141f0: NP_GetValue: returning plugin name.

Doing updates, who knows what I did. But anyway, I searched for others, but I didn't find any. Also, according to MCC, I only have firefox3 installed, along with the Italian interface and the lib files. Just out of curiosity, I cranked up the Opera browser, using terminal, and this is what I got. $ opera ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. opera: X Shared memory extension is not available.

Greg2 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Did Firefox3 crash/close that time? I don't see any errors or segmentation faults? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I'll take a guess and say that you need to set Locales to UTF-8 or else install Locales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 It's not actually a problem. Just ignore it. It's unavoidable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Running Mandriva 2008.0 and Firefox 3.01. I get the same warning as well. No crashes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieth Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Greg, I did not know what to expect when I changed ./mozilla to ./mozilla2. After I changed it, I immediately looked at terminal to see what happened. When I saw all the errors, I wrote my response here. I was expecting the errors not to be there. But you're right, FireFox has not crashed since I made the change, even if I get all the errors. Is there a file, cookie or something else that caused FireFox to crash?
