Hello,
I've updated today my kde 4 desktop and now, I cannot launch any of my browsers.
Command line launch gives me this message:
[mak@myhost ~]$ firefox
Bus error
[mak@myhost ~]$
When I try to launch chromium, I get this message:
[mak@myhost ~]$ chromium-browser
/usr/bin/chromium-browser: line 4: 1833 Bus error ./chrome --enable-greasemonkey --enable-user-scripts "$@"
[mak@myhost ~]$
Any idea fixing this error?
Oh, and one more thing, when I try to restart the system hangs. I had to use the reset button.
Proc: 2.6 gig
Desktop kde 4.3 64bit
Mem: 6 gig
Video: radeon hd 3600
Motherbord: asus
Kernel: 2.6.31-ARCH
On a separate partition, I also run the exact same system but with xfce. The update doesn't seem to be effected the that desktop.
Thanks,
jmak

Try reinstalling xulrunner

I reinstalled xulrunner but the problem remained. In the meantime, I noticed that this problem affects only gnome based applications: Firefox, chromium, abiword, gimp, all of them stopped working. However, it doesn't affect kde based apps. The arora browser works, also koffice.

This is what I got.
[mak@myhost ~]$ ls /var/run/dbus*
/var/run/dbus.pid
/var/run/dbus:

[mak@myhost ~]$ ps ax | grep dbus

None of those steps solved my problem.
All gnome apps report the exact same problem.
[mak@myhost ~]$ gimp
Bus error
[mak@myhost ~]$ abiword
Bus error
[mak@myhost ~]$ firefox
Bus error
[mak@myhost ~]$ chromium-browser
/usr/bin/chromium-browser: line 4: 1894 Bus error ./chrome --enable-greasemonkey --enable-user-scripts "$@"
[mak@myhost ~]$ ufraw
Bus error
[mak@myhost ~]$
But arora starts as normal. There is no error message there.
[mak@myhost ~]$ arora

Make sure your partition is not full . If It's full , free some space and reinstall all the packages you updated lately . Pacman doesn't handle end-of-space situations properly .
If I understand correctly , all your non-functional apps depend on gtk2 . So reinstalling that package might help .
English is not my native language .

This is clearly something related to GTK. Try reinstalling gtk2 and your theme engine. I don't know what theme engine is used on your system, but remember that gtk2 made a major version bump, your theme engine could be incompatible with gtk2 2.18.x.

[edit] sorry re-read your first post where you tried rebooting.

Thanks a lot to everyone for the suggestions. I re-installed gtk2 and this solved all the problems. Now, all of my gnome based apps are working.

I re-install gtk2 and reinstall xulrunner, and I also reinstall all gtk package with command
for pac in `pacman -Qq | grep gtk`; do pacman -S $pac; done
