XUL-based apps freeze

vande198 · 2003-10-23 14:21:26

I've tried to use MozillaFirebird .7 (both from the arch repository and the general linux file from mozilla w/ gtk2 & xft) and Mozilla 1.4.1, but whenever I try to enter a new url, both apps freeze. What am I doing wrong here?

Do you have your loopback device (lo) configured properly? To check type

ifconfig

If you see a result like

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:500 (500.0 b)  TX bytes:500 (500.0 b)

then that's not the problem. Otherwise you have to have that set up (make sure that the network script is loading without errors).

Here's my ifconfig:

Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:DB:26:A6:9B
inet addr:35.11.218.7 Bcast:35.15.255.255 Mask:255.248.0.0
inet6 addr: fe80::20b:dbff:fe26:a69b/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1122301 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:71415 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:5
collisions:25965 txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:172725558 (164.7 Mb) TX bytes:3397499 (3.2 Mb)
Interrupt:17

I also get the following error when I start the network (even though I otherwise have full network capability):
[root@vande198 rc.d]# ./network restart
Network is not running. Try 'network start'
[ Starting Network BUSY ]SIOCADDRT: No such device

Out of ignorance I commented out lo in my rc.conf file....do I need to configure that? I use dhcp

Yes, you really do want lo... really really badly... otherwise things like Mozilla won't work right...

vande198 · 2003-10-23 16:34:50

that did it....thank goodness...I was getting really sick of how poorly dillo rendered stuff. I still have that error when my network starts up, though.

Either you're trying to load a device that doesn't exist (eth1 maybe?) because of a typo somewhere, or it's giving an error because you already have dhcp running and you're trying to run it again. Try using restart instead of start and see if the error goes away.
