[Bug 178274] Re: [hardy] firefox breaks on some pages with an X error
I think this may be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/205599 gecko based browsers were dying on me on this gif http://live.xbox.com/xweb/lib/images/MyXboxSkinImageSheet.gif on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Hardy, including the live cds. On downloading the image and trying to open it in xpaint I got the same error, it turned out to be related to the xorg exa code that stops pixmaps of width larger than 8188 being allocated, which gecko seems to do for non-simple images of these dimensions. One way to test if it is that is to try and use XAA instead by putting option AccelMethod XAA in the video driver section of xorg.conf Not all cards seem to be using exa which may be why only some people experience it. I attached a patch to the other bug based on a discussion on the xorg mailing list which fixed all my problems but have no idea if that's the best approach. -- [hardy] firefox breaks on some pages with an X error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178274 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 205599] Re: Firefox crashes on Xbox.com's Friends List
Yeah it seems to be something to do with EXA as the problem goes away when I switch to using XAA with option AccelMethod XAA in the device section of xorg.conf I'm using the intel graphics driver xserver-xorg-video-intel -- Firefox crashes on Xbox.com's Friends List https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205599 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 205599] Re: Firefox crashes on Xbox.com's Friends List
I ran the whole xserver through gdb and its same problem as mentioned in this post on the xorg list http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-June/025579.html I've attached a patch that implements the same change as suggested in the post, which fixes all the issues I've mentioned. Don't know if this is the best way to do it since I've never looked at the code before and it does seem to be a superfluous check if the aim is to limit the maximum size of the pixmap. ** Attachment added: exa_change.diff http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12911739/exa_change.diff -- Firefox crashes on Xbox.com's Friends List https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205599 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have this problem too with the 64-bit version of Hardy. It doesn't seem to be specifically related to Firefox 3. It also happens in Epiphany but not Konqueror. It still happens if I run Firefox 2 on a remote machine, running gutsy, and use X11 forwarding over ssh. It doesn't happen if I run firefox3 on hardy 64-bit with X11 forwarding to display it on OS X. -- Firefox crashes on Xbox.com's Friends List https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205599 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I went through a backtrace and the problem seems to be to do with decoding gifs, which I think was the same problem as people had with howtoforge The offending gif is http://live.xbox.com/xweb/lib/images/MyXboxSkinImageSheet.gif It's got a size of 1x30 -- Firefox crashes on Xbox.com's Friends List https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205599 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 205599] Re: Firefox crashes on Xbox.com's Friends List
It seems it crashes with any 1x30 image I make as long as its not a pure colour, although flipping single pixels seems to mean it wont crash until you zoom in, I guess it's smart enough not to store them as a 1x30 image if it's all one colour. -- Firefox crashes on Xbox.com's Friends List https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205599 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It also happens with stuff like xloadimage, and xpaint xpaint vanishes on my desktop but is quite happy to load the image when forwarded to my mac xloadimage seems to avoid crashing but doesn't display the image, it does have an _XError if I set it as a breakpoint. Again it's quite happy to work if I forward it to X11 on OS X. -- Firefox crashes on Xbox.com's Friends List https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205599 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 205599] Re: Firefox crashes on Xbox.com's Friends List
I can recreate the problem using a simple C file that uses Xcreatepixmap. It works fine up to 8188x1 and then dies at 8189x1 for 24bits. -- Firefox crashes on Xbox.com's Friends List https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205599 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
