## [solved] Damn! iceweasel fails to launch again

Wed Nov 14, 2012 8:05 am

Last night I reinstalled refracta and built it up again. I even upgraded iceweasel to 10.0.10esr. Everything was working swimmingly. Then I took on the rest of the upgrades, rebooted and BAM! iceweasel is once again going to a black screen and then the lightdm login. I don't know what's missing but this vanilla xfce install that I'm posting from updated without an issue. When I can find a good chunk of time (probably not tomorrow), I'm going to compare installed packages to see what's missing on refracta. Or maybe it's something that's ADDED to refracta that's causing it? This is such a bummer.

The package list for each build is in the iso, in a folder with the same date/time stamp as the filename. Snapshot does that automatically.
Or, for beta1, the package list is also here - http://distro.ibiblio.org/refracta/test ... list_beta1
Weird problem. I don't have any ideas right now, but what you're doing make sense. Everything (almost) in refracta was installed without recommends, so something may be missing.

I'm going to compare currently installed lists not the original package list:

Code:
  `dpkg --get-selections > ~/installed`

I actually have another minimal wheezy install that I set up without recommends and it's currently updated and with a functioning iceweasel. I'm going to start with that list rather the the vanilla install which which has many kb of extra cruft I'd have to wade through. I'll start by adding packages to refracta that are missing. If that doesn't work, I'll start deleting refracta packages that aren't in the working installs. I have a talent for obsessing over probelms like this. Or maybe the next refracta install version including lightdm will fix things.

Code:
  `#!/usr/bin/env bash
  # compare-package-lists
  # Do this to create the lists:
  # dpkg -l | grep "ii" | awk '{ print $2 }' > list
  # Usage:
  # compare-package-lists list1 list2
  list1="$1"
  list2="$2"
  while IFS= read -r line; do
  if ! $(grep -q "$line" "$list2"); then
  echo "$line" is missing >> list_comparison
  fi
  done < "$list1"
  exit 0
  `

Edit: Replaced for loop with while loop after checking at bash pitfalls website.

Maybe xdg-utils?

Yes, I noticed that file is in the working install. I installed it but the problem remains. Currently I'm comparing the old-fashioned way - side-by-side text windows. Slow but the benefit is that I actually have to read the list of installed files which provides some familiarity for future use. There are other omissions too like desktop.base - not quite sure what that does. I'm almost halfway through the list (over 1000 packages).
I'll try your little script later today. Thanks.

Don’t see a way to attach files so trying to do it this way. First, all the files in the refracta install. Tabbed lines are absent in the other custom no-recommends install that has a working iceweasel:

You can line them up in a double paned editor to see things more clearly. Any thoughts?

## Re: Damn! iceweasel fails to launch again

Fri Nov 16, 2012 9:36 am

I can't confirm the behaviour.
If it was me i would do what fsmithred proposed:

> Try starting it from terminal, and see if you get any error messages.

If it logs out before i can have a look, i would look at

Code:
  `~/.xsession-errors`

and

Code:
  `/var/log/Xorg.0.log`

(and in the latter grep for EE)
If one of that complaints about OpenGL errors related to Virtualbox i would

Code:
  `apt-get remove --purge virtualbox*`

reboot and try if the error is still there.
If there is a different error in one of the files (stdout being a file here), i would search for that/post that here.
removing or replacing ligthdm might be an idea too
(if running startx one will see a lot of messages in tty1).
also check
settings-manager-> session and startup -> {application autostart, advanced/services}
rather remove than add (if at all. I doubt it).
If nothing of that could help and i had no better ideas i would try a different web-browser.
I am not a big fan of no-install-recommends, but it looks like i am in the minority when it comes to that
(I use it _if_ i want it, but else it seems to cause more problems than it seems to solve a non-existent space usage problem).
That said: I would not know why or how this could create a problem like described here (aka: i have not experienced something similar, but i had problems with missing recommendations).
Another conjunctive probably won't make a change:
I would curse a lot.

Some helpful suggestions. Thanks, nadir.

Bingo! There was a problem with loading glx and suggested reinstalling the nvidia driver. Ran sgfxi. It reinstalled in about a minute. Went to my desktop and . . . the iceweasel problem was fixed. Posting from it now. Evidently, the last update included some xorg stuff that required the reinstall. I'm used to dkms that autoupdates but that method wouldn't work with the old card and legacy driver so had to use sgfxi. Live and learn.
And it's not even 2am!!

## Re: [solved] Damn! iceweasel fails to launch again

Sun Nov 18, 2012 5:55 pm

After the iceweasel thing got resolved, all hell broke loose. Probably nvidia and/or multimedia related. Gnome-mplayer and deadbeef stopped working. Then I rebooted to a black screen - no blinking cursor, unable to get to a console. I nuked xorg.conf and could at least get to tty1. Once there (and in desperation - I suspected some of the updates were incompatible with the 3.2.0-3-686-pae kernel) I 3.2.0-4-686-pae and after that x started. Still can't play any media though, getting a segmentation fault for glxinfo and a couple of other things are wonky.
