I therefore trimmed the bug description to only refer to that. ** Summary changed:
- firefox problems after upgrade: execv failed + update.go cannot change mount namespace ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Description changed: Today I upgraded 20.04 -> 22.04. After the upgrade firefox spammed the console: - update.go:85: cannot change mount namespace according to change mount + update.go:85: cannot change mount namespace according to change mount (/var/lib/snapd/hostfs/usr/local/share/doc /usr/local/share/doc none bind,ro 0 0): cannot write to "/var/lib/snapd/hostfs/usr/local/share/doc" because it would affect the host in "/var/lib/snapd" - but it worked more or less. If I tried to start a 2nd incarnation, firefox gave, after a few seconds, - a popup window with "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the existing Firefox process, restart your device, or use a different profile." - The version firefox reported for itself was 146.0.1. - I tried to get a fresh firefox and uninstalled snapd and firefox, and installed them again. - ... - Preparing to unpack .../firefox_1%3a1snap1-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb ... - => Installing the firefox snap - ==> Checking connectivity with the snap store - ==> Installing the firefox snap - snap "firefox" is already installed, see 'snap help refresh' - => Snap installation complete - Unpacking firefox (1:1snap1-0ubuntu2) ... - Setting up firefox (1:1snap1-0ubuntu2) ... - update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/firefox to provide /usr/bin/gnome-www-browser (gnome-www-browser) in auto mode - update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/firefox to provide /usr/bin/x-www-browser (x-www-browser) in auto mode - Processing triggers for mailcap (3.70+nmu1ubuntu1) ... - Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils (0.26-1ubuntu3) ... - Processing triggers for hicolor-icon-theme (0.17-2) ... - Processing triggers for gnome-menus (3.36.0-1ubuntu3) ... - ... - Now starting firefox yields "execv failed: No such file or directory", and I have not been able to get a working firefox from ubuntu. Maybe the "is already installed" points to a problem? - The current one is downloaded directly from Mozilla. Maybe Ubuntu no longer provides a non-snap firefox? - - $ cat /etc/lsb-release + $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=22.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=jammy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS" $ apt-cache policy firefox firefox: - Installed: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 - Candidate: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 - Version table: - *** 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 500 - 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + Installed: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 + Candidate: 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 + Version table: + *** 1:1snap1-0ubuntu2 500 + 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy snapd snapd: - Installed: 2.72+ubuntu22.04 - Candidate: 2.72+ubuntu22.04 - Version table: - *** 2.72+ubuntu22.04 500 - 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages - 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status - 2.63+22.04ubuntu0.1 500 - 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/main amd64 Packages - 2.55.3+22.04 500 - 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages - - $ firefox - execv failed: No such file or directory + Installed: 2.72+ubuntu22.04 + Candidate: 2.72+ubuntu22.04 + Version table: + *** 2.72+ubuntu22.04 500 + 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-updates/main amd64 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + 2.63+22.04ubuntu0.1 500 + 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy-security/main amd64 Packages + 2.55.3+22.04 500 + 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2137294 Title: update.go cannot change mount namespace To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/2137294/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
