Fedora :: Firefox Does Not Restart?
Jul 14, 2009
1). Since last few days my firefox does not restart. In order to restart, I have to remove .parentlock even when I closed the firefox properly after my previous run
Firefox restarts happily when it crashes, and after two crashes, it apologizes but crashes the third and fourth time :-)
2). The other problem is that it crashes a lot on applets.. I use my school blackboard which uses applets a lot (for different utilities), and it crashes 1 out of 5 times on running an applet. I think it due to the IcedTea and/or Java (TM) plugin 1.6.0_06-b02. I have both plugins enabled in Firefox plugins list.

I 'am trying to install Java on fedora but I 'am stuck a this line on this tutorial [URL]. Use spacebar to read the agreement. At the end type yes to proceed with the installation. To make Firefox use the installed plugin type:
su -c 'yum remove java-*-openjdk-plugin'
su -c 'ln -s /opt/jre1.6.0_14/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so'
Restart Firefox and Tools -> Addons -> Plugins. If the plugin was successfully installed you should see Java(TM) Plug-in among the plugins. Now, if you also want to run java programs using Sun's java type in a console:
My shell
[root@shadow ~]# ln -s /opt/jrel.6.0_16/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
> /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
You have mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@shadow ~]# ln -s /opt/jrel.6.0_16/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so': File exists
After restart Firefox i don't see any new plugin. ?

This has happened multiple times. I'd be running firefox and it would crash for whatever reason. I'd try to restart it and it would tell me that it's "already running as another process."
ps and top show no firefox. killall can't kill it. I found a few forum postings saying to delete the .parentlock file in the firefox directory. That allows me to start it, but all my personalizations and settings are gone. I have to each time create a new profile and copy everything over.
Kubuntu 9.04, all up to date, 2.6.28-13, 64-bit.

A few days ago an upgrade to FF 3.6.3 was pushed at me by Mandriva. I accepted it, of course.
Since then, firefox refuses to restart after a shutdown, and there are no error messages in any log or in the bash window if I try to start it that way.
I tried a couple of times to uninstall/reinstall it, but no joy.
Finally figured out that if I reloaded the .mozilla directory in my home directory from a daily backup, FF would restart.
This suggests that FF 3.6.3 is corrupting something either while it is running or when it shuts down.
It's pretty consistent, and makes it rather hard to use FF. The lack of error messages is making it rather difficult to sort out.

After some use, firefox will not restart from the panel or a terminal. Looking in '.mozilla/firefox' I find:
Quote:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 dave dave 15 2010-02-19 20:55 lock -> 127.0.1.1:+2189
The number at the end changes everytime I remove it. Is this something trying to get in or something trying to get out? Or what? This has been going on for a while.

For a kiosk scenario, I run this script to close & restart Firefox when the screensaver is activated (the monitor also goes to sleep).I want to run a loop that, if Firefox is closed, it will automatically re-open. Is there a way to use dbus-monitor to accomplish this?Quote:
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $cmd = "dbus-monitor --session "type='signal',interface='org.gnome.ScreenSave r', member='ActiveChanged'"";

If one re-boots an openSUSE computer with open Firefox, the Firefox restarts when the system restarts. Actually, every application that was open, restarts.However, sometimes, Firefox does not restart.When I perform ps in bash, I see a few Firefox processes do run, but there is no graphical evidence.If I run Firefox explicitly - stll, no graphical evidence.If, however, I kill all Firefox processes, it can now be started normally.Does someone know a reason for such peculiar behavior ?

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and after a recent software update, I found that my web browsers crash constantly. Firefox stays open for a few seconds and then dies and won't restart. Google Chrome keeps giving me the "Aw, Snap!" screen. Seamonkey and Epiphany run for a while and then crash. After some research, I uninstalled Flash, but that didn't change anything.On a possibly related note, I've been informed of disk errors during boot and prompted to fix them twice in the same two week period.

I have just finished the upgrade of the latest version and I'm at the point of my system restating.
My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.
I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)
"name@name-desktop:...$ "
I'm on my phone now so I don't actually have the symbol for before the dollar sign but your know what it is. The raised S on a 90 degree angle.

I have a suspend problem in my laptop. Sometimes, when resuming from suspend, the network adapter is down (that is, the network does not work and the light of the network adapter is off). Restarting the network service doesn't work, because I think that the system forgot about the hardware, and probably the driver should be reloaded.Does anyone knows how to do that?(ps. /etc/init.d/networking restart does not work, because the hardware driver is not being recognized anymore).

This is really odd - all of a sudden, my firefox says "Firefox can't find the server at www.google.com" , and my pidgin will not connect saying host not found.However, I am typing this on the same computer using Opera. his is absolutely insane. I have no idea what caused it.. command line nslookup works great, and resolves everything.But firefox and pidgin will not resolve anything.
The only odd thing is this in messages:
Sep 8 12:07:41 tklaptop NetworkManager: nm_ip4_config_add_nameserver: assertion `nameserver != s' failed
Sep 8 12:07:41 tklaptop NetworkManager: nm_ip4_config_add_nameserver: assertion `nameserver != s' failed

Whenever I choose "Restart" from the GDM screen, GDM appears to shutdown, and the first TTY is displayed with a login prompt at the bottom (assuming I haven't used that TTY). I am by no estimation a patient individual, but I waited a solid minute or two for something to happen, but nothing ever did. I end up logging in as root on that TTY and running "shutdown -r now" to get the job done. This is a shared computer, and ideally any user should be able to perform shutdown options graphically from GDM.The only mentioned workaround doesn't apply to me as I am using the nvidia driver, not intel.

I installed GNOME shell and now I can't login after restarting the computer. It brings up the login screen and I can enter my password, but it just goes back to the login screen. I would like to stop GDM and run X -config to see if that straightens out the problem

whats the difference between restarting/stopping apache using 'service httpd restart/stop' and apachectl restart/stop. I know that using 'service httpd restart' is actually a script in /etc/init.d/httpd but what about apachectl?

I have installed Fedora 12 as a clean installl, everything worked perfect. But lately either after installing an update or making some parameter changes, while restarting my system it just comes up with lots of error messages and crashes. I have to press the switch off button to shutdown. I don't know from where to get that error message to post here

When I close the lid on my Dell Latitude e6510 running Fedora 14/Gnome, the machine seems to suspend correctly. When I reopen the lid or otherwise try to awaken it, I get a text screen showing:
I am running with Linux installed on an external Passport drive, selected via F12 during startup.

I've just installed F15 graphical desktop on a brand new 64-bit box. When I use the Alt key in the User menu to display the shutdown options and click the "Power Off" option, the box shuts down, but then immediately restarts. Is that supposed to happen? How do I get the box to not restart after powering down? Kernel is 2.6.38.6-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64. The box also auto-restarts after root command shutdown -h now

When I try to logout, it tells that you "will be automaticallyed out after 60 seconds"..and there are two buttons there. one is to "cancel", one is to "logout". Even if I press the logout button, it will logout after only a minute. My question is that how to logout instantaneously (without waiting for 60 seconds).The same problem happens when i try to poweroff or restart the computer. It will do it only after 60 seconds. Who in the world would like a machine which does things according to its wish, rather than execute your command?

i'm new on board and new for linux.i installed fc 9, and it's look ok. i want to use stutic ip,so i did what i find here:uote:First, NetworkManager and static ip addresses do not get along. If you want to use static ip addresses, turn off the NM services by going to "system->administration->services" and disable the NM services and reboot.Next, goto "system->admin->network", highlight your device and click the "edit" tab and configure the device. Uncheck the "controlled by NM option" and "automatically obtain ip address" BUT then place a check in the "allow users to control" and "activate on boot"Then click the "dns" tab and fill in your dns servers ip addresses.the problem is that is no internet connection after reboot. than i go to system->admin->network,and activate the device and all ok.

Does anyone know how to schedule a Fedora box to automaticly shutdown and then resume later at a specific time?Shutting down is easy, but I have found nothing about the restarting part.

When I select restart from the shut down menu sometimes instead of shutting the system down it insteads just ends my session and logs me out (which leads me to believe perhaps my session is crashing when it tries to reboot?

I have a server box running F12. Whenever networking is lost up-stream, obviously, my box loses it and the networking icon gets the "red" cancellation sign over it.Now, when up-stream connectivity returns, Fedora does not auto-connect. Instead I have to manually go to my office (grrrr), and simply click on the networking icon, click on the unselected radio button next to eth0 (its the only network interface), and I'm good again.To save me future weekend trips to the office.... How can I make sure this happens automatically
