Crash on debian 8.3 Topic is solved

[vgevorgyan]

Hello,

I have downloaded latest Pale Moon version and trying to run on my system.
It's opening the window, but when I'm trying to write website address in address bar or trying to do search after 2-3 letters it's crashing with the following message:

Code: Select all

###!!! ABORT: X_CreatePixmap: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation); 4 requests ago: file /home/palemoon/PaleMoon/pmsrc/toolkit/xre/nsX11ErrorHandler.cpp, line 145
###!!! ABORT: X_CreatePixmap: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation); 4 requests ago: file /home/palemoon/PaleMoon/pmsrc/toolkit/xre/nsX11ErrorHandler.cpp, line 145
Segmentation fault

Also, when I'm trying to right click on toolbar or open menu, it's again crashing with the same message.

My system information:
OS: Debian 8.3
Kernel: 3.16.0-4-amd64
DE: KDE 4.14.2

If you need more information just ask.

Are you using the oxygen-gtk theme? There's a known bug in that theming engine that causes Pale Moon to crash when clicking the menu/address bar. Please use a different theming engine and that should resolve the problem.

[vgevorgyan]

You are absolutely correct.

[vgevorgyan]

Can you please suggest any beautiful gtk theme the PaleMoon will work correctly?

[trava90]

Pale Moon should work with any gtk2 theme besides oxygen.

Howdy all,

I just finished reading all the threads here containing references to this oxygen (gtk2-engines-oxygen) issue.

I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 LTS with gtk2-engines-oxygen v1.4.5-0ubuntu1, and experiencing the crashing problem on 26.0.3 x86. (32-bit)

I read here about a special exception in an oxygen config file to include PaleMoon as a "mozilla" product, but for the builds with that setting does that actually fix it?

I'd really rather not change this theme because I really like it. Another option is to install either an updated theme or KDE build. Any suggestions for me? I can go to the Kubuntu people and ask about the latter option if that might be one solution. I prefer to run the LTS builds because I don't want to rip/replace the OS every 6 months or something.

Thanks in advance.


(PS: I've been running PM as my default browser on my Windows machines for a while now, and tolerated Firefox on Kubuntu until an update to Firefox 44 was installed today as a "security update" which killed ALL of my settings customizations and threw me back to default Australis settings. UGH. Couldn't take it any more..)

I've just patched the Debian Jessie source code for gtk2-engines-oxygen 1.4.6 to add "palemoon" and "newmoon" to the list in src/oxygenapplicationname.cpp, rebuilt and installed the updated package, and it does fix the crash problem.

Code: Select all

Anyway, the patched, Jessie-compatible i386 and amd64 packages are here: http://main.mepis-deb.org/mx/repo/pool/ ... es-oxygen/

Whether they will work on Ubuntu distributions in unknown. They should be rebuilt from the source files on your Ubuntu release to make sure they are compatible.

You may also want to add FossaMail to the list, considering it uses the same Mozilla-style UI coding oxygen-gtk chokes on.

Thanks, will do that.
