Firefox behaving weirdly on KDE

exit3219 · 02-25-2006, 10:25 AM

Since I switched from Gnome to KDE, I'm having Firefox (1.5.0.1) doing strange stuff.
Sometimes it crashes when I press the Home button / the Back button / CTRL + W / etc.
And most interestingly, when I start it from Konsole, I get:

Code:

exit@Orclopes:~$ firefox &
[1] 13531
exit@Orclopes:~$
(firefox-bin:13547): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable: assertion `gdk_window_is_viewable (src)' failed

(firefox-bin:13547): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_n_channels: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed

(firefox-bin:13547): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_bits_per_sample: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed

(firefox-bin:13547): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed

(firefox-bin:13547): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

And this message scrolls again and again, if I use Firefox, but stops scrolling when I don't use it.

I am a

, so I don't basically know what is GTK, GDK, QT etc.
Is this normal or what?! It sais "critical"!

Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Exit3219,

Got the same errors after updating from SuSE 9.2 to SuSE 10.0

Try to rebuild as root your gdk-pixbuf.loaders:
gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/opt/gnome/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders

I hope that helps

Thanks for the reply. I didn't quite understand what gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders does, but here's something:
[code]# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders >a.txt
# diff a.txt /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders
#
[code]
I think this means that my gdk-pixbuf.loaders is up-to-date.

(What are these gdk pixbuf loaders, anyway?

)

I've just tried updating /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules (using gtk-query-immodules-2.0). This time the output was *different* from the file, but this didn't help, either. I still get those ugly messages.
