Hi, thank you for asking !
Well, the problem evolved a bit and might be related to my x-window setup. I don't know / remember what caused this evolution. Now when I am at my office, firefox starts and opens the usual graphical interface. In my office I have a second display (dell flat screen 17") that I connect to my laptop (dell latitude D610). Graphic card is an ATI, with fglrx driver. When I am at home or somewhere else, I have only the laptop display and firefox starts but doesn't show up. Of course I verified that it is not showing on the unconnected external display, by <alt>-<tab> switching and looking at the virtual desktop minimap (on the bottom left). Another possibility is that the problem might be linked to the network configuration. But this would be even more weird. Maybe there is something with the extensions. If you tell me how to get the installed list I will provide it to you. What do you think ? I will try to connect another external display at home to see if this is really the source of the problem. Tell me if you want me to try something. But I am not too inclined to modify my x-window setup since this is a production machine and these binary drivers + multiple head display can be tricky to configure. A more general point of view on this bug : how many users know that there are other web browsers ? I guess that the usage increase of Ubuntu has brought less knowledgeable people. So my point is that for one person like me who can get around this bug, there may be 10 or 50 persons who encountered the bug and just though "Ubuntu does not work". This may cause such a bug to be ignored because not reported enough. Of course, maybe I am the only one who suffers from it :-) Thanks for your time, Jérôme On 1/18/07, Alex Latchford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello Jerome, > > Thank you for the bug report, is this problem still an issue? > > Thanks again, Alex. > > ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) > Assignee: (unassigned) => Mozilla Team > Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info > > -- > After upgrading to Edgy, firefox doesn't work anymore > https://launchpad.net/bugs/69550 > -- After upgrading to Edgy, firefox doesn't work anymore https://launchpad.net/bugs/69550 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
