We've moved our LTSP installation from Fedora 13 to CentOS 6 over the summer
and school is set to start Monday. All seemed well, but then we fired up
Firefox. After starting and displaying a window (sometimes it even renders
the window) it core dumps with a bus error as follows:
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.6/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 32095 Bus error (core dumped)
"$prog" ${1+"$@"}
We tried installing Google Chrome, but it too fails to load, displaying this:
/opt/google/chrome/chrome: /lib64/libz.so.1: no version information available
(required by /opt/google/chrome/chrome)
[31429:31429:606701736390:ERROR:browser_main.cc(970)] GLib-GObject:
gsignal.c:2270: signal `preedit-changed' is invalid for instance `0x578fe30'
Bus error (core dumped)
We've got a plain-vanilla CentOS installation. I tried removing the .mozilla
directory to allow it to start from scratch. I tried both with and without
the Flash plugin installed. I've gotten nowhere. Based on research and
reports of similar problems I found I have reinstalled xulrunner, JRE, Firefox,
Chrome, and probably a few other packages
School starts Monday. Does anyone have any clues as to what might be wrong?
