#6169: PulseAudio-6.0 introduces instability in Mozila applications
-------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: fo | Owner: blfs-book@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.7
Component: BOOK | Version: SVN
Severity: normal | Keywords:
-------------------------+-------------------------
Verified in Firefox, Seamonkey and Thunderbird.
Occurs in Fluxbox, Icewm, Openbox, LXDE, but not in XFCE.
Symptom: click in the tab bar crashes application. Trying to access menu
crashes. Application is unusable.
Problem also occurs if .mozilla and .thunderbird are removed, so
application is run in a fresh system.
Log:
{{{
$ env LC_ALL=C firefox
(process:552): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion
'sys_page_size == 0' failed
Failed to open configuration file '(null)': Bad address
Assertion 'size <= (PA_ALIGN(1024*1024*1024))' failed at

Solution. It is necessary to remove PulseAudio-6.0 and (in my case) 5.0,
then install PulseAudio-5.0. The problem id gone.
The same log error was reported at
[https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89157]
but closed "Status: RESOLVED NOTABUG".
