Can someone please give the recipe for undoing nightly ymy updates? It looks like many things were updated last night and now many things don't work. Firefox in particular is rendered unusable. This seems to be associated with plugins that don't know about the updated libc, since it is crashing with messages like:
*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/acroread: free(): invalid pointer: 0x09797ac0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib/libc.so.6[0xf6b1a5a5] /lib/libc.so.6(cfree+0x59)[0xf6b1a9e9] /usr/lib/libX11.so.6(XFree+0x1d)[0x5a8f7d] /usr/bin/acroread[0x8604952] /usr/bin/acroread[0x8608607] /usr/bin/acroread[0x82d315f] /usr/bin/acroread[0x84ffbaf] /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0[0x77f451] /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0(g_main_context_dispatch+0x182)[0x7811a2] .. Furthermore, there seems to be some bad interaction with my graphics driver, causing some web pages to make Xorg to consume 100% of the CPU for seconds at a time every time I try to scroll one line on a relatively simple web page. Is there a recipe for updating all the adobe plugins that depend on an earlier version of libc? Is there a recipe for backing out the updates to get back to where things more or less were useable? I'm running SL5.3. Thanks, Matthew. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Matthew Jones Office: PHYS 378 Department of Physics, Purdue University Office phone: 765-496-2464 525 Northwestern Ave Fermilab Phone: 630-840-2859 West Lafayette, IN 47907-2036 e-mail: [email protected]
