I haven't seen the Firefox crash and won't restart since 10 Jul, or the one-off Firefox crash since 26 Jul. However due to the intermittent nature of the problem, it is impossible to be sure whether it has really gone away.
On 31 Jul, the computer was moved from a university network to an ADSL/router home network. To get it to work there IPv6 was disabled in Firefox about:config. SophosAV was also removed and replaced with ClamAV. I have however had a gnome-panel crash today; a Bug Buddy window opened, both top and bottom bars disappeared, and a few seconds after Bug Buddy was closed the bars reappeared with the normal task buttons on the bottom but nothing on the top, but after a few more seconds another Bug Buddy window appeared and the cycle repeated. The open applications (Firefox showing uk.arxiv.org and gedit just opened showing a large tex file) appeared normal, and were successfully closed normally. The backtrace attached is from the second crash, as the first report disappeared when I right-clicked in it intending to copy and paste it. After a few cycles I rebooted the system. ** Attachment added: "gnome-panel-bugreport.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8913560/gnome-panel-bugreport.txt -- Randomly crashing (SIGSEGV/SIGPIPE) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78809 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
