firefox not displaying pages, konqueror and seamonkey fine
Hi again,
The subject line pretty much says it all. This is a vanilla slack 14.2 64bit system. Firefox was working fine until a day or so ago. I have tried a new profile with no luck. Pages seem to load but nothing is displayed. SeaMonkey works fine as does Konqueror. Any thoughts?
So two inexplicable problems, both happening since a few days ago. What is your recollection of things you changed on that computer a few days ago (installed packages, changed configurations, ...)?
I did not upgrade/install anything new over the past couple of weeks. I did run an upgrade this morning to see if that would help but no dice. I have discovered some old packages which I am in the process of deleting but they were there when firefox was working.
I am not sure that the issue be related to your recent upgrade, but as an aside I find easier, faster and less error prone to backup all I want to keep and make a fresh installation of the new Slackware version then restore the backup than upgrading.

I boot to runlevel 3 myself and then invoke startx from the commandline to run KDE.
I am not sure all this was necessary but ...
I exited out of KDE back to the runlevel 3 commandline to install dbus-glib-0.106-x86_64-1 and dbus-glib-compat32-0.106-x86_64-1compat32
And then I rebooted because my /usr/bin/dbus-daemon processes pre-dated my new dbus-glib-0.106-x86_64-1 and dbus-glib-compat32-0.106-x86_64-1compat32 packages ...
Yes, Lennart won't be done with Linux until all my servers run the same as his personal Laptops
