I'm having fits about dbus, at least that's what I think? Firefox 3, epiphany, and firefox 3 bin all do this. Attach any file (as any user, on KDE or Gnome) and firefox immediately crashes. Root can attach files.
Some background. Today I upgraded these before I noticed this problem: dev-libs/expat, net-misc/dhcpcd, dev-cpp/libglademm, dev-cpp/gconfmm, net-dns/bind-tools, mail-mta/ssmtp, sys-apps/coreutils. Yesterday it worked. Of course I"ve been twiddling. I found a suggestion to run firefox in safe-mode ($ firefox -safe-mode). I did this. It's just a way to dismember the add-ons and customizations of a user, and I'd already recompiled. But these errors were received after the crash in the terminal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ /usr/bin/firefox -safe-mode which: no soundwrapper in (/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.1:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin) which: no soundwrapper in (/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.1:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin) process 14444: arguments to dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block() were incorrect, assertion "(error) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((error))" failed in file dbus-connection.c line 3289. This is normally a bug in some application using the D-Bus library. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Aborted [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ (npviewer.bin:6437): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_style_detach: assertion `style->attach_count > 0' failed I am most interested in learning how to troubleshoot dbus. I read one post where the suggestion was made to delete dbus. What does that mean? I've been having numerous problems with permissions. They are gradually going away, and I just emailed a friend that the system has finally stablized to some degree. Then I did an # emerge -uDv world and this happens. Where can I find out more about dbus? gtkmm won't compile. There's an upstream fix, I think, and I might do a local version bump, with much trepidation.
