Hi, Lately, and seemingly inexplicably, firefox will lock up my X server with it if I click a button where filesystem access is required eg. if I'm in an 'upload file' form and a 'Browse...' button is available to go to a filesystem browser. If I ssh into the machine remotely I can see that Xorg is using 90+% CPU and the only way to recover is to reboot (which doesn't even execute cleanly). Interestingly, I can reproduce this situation when running firefox on a remote host but displaying locally so it seems more likely X/system related than specifically firefox. When the machine hangs, even the keyboard is non functional eg scroll lock won't light. I have USB keyboard/mouse. I'd appreciate any tips for diagnosis/recovery. I've appended the most relevant configuration information. I've already rebuilt and installed kernel/world to ensure I'm up to date, and portupgraded as much as practicable. I should note that I haven't changed my build options for firefox since pre-crash, either. regards, -- Joel Hatton -- Infrastructure Manager | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national CERT | Fax: +61 7 3365 7031 The University of Queensland | WWW: www.auscert.org.au Qld 4072 Australia | Email: auscert@auscert.org.au Firefox options: # This file is auto-generated by 'make config'. # No user-servicable parts inside! # Options for firefox-1.5.0.4,1 _OPTIONS_READ=firefox-1.5.0.4,1 WITH_NEWTAB=true WITHOUT_SMB=true WITHOUT_DEBUG=true WITH_LOGGING=true WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=true 6.1-RELEASE-p1 Information for xorg-server-6.9.0_4: Depends on: Dependency: expat-2.0.0_1 Dependency: pkgconfig-0.20_2 Dependency: pkg-config-0.20_2 Dependency: libdrm-2.0.1_1 Dependency: freetype2-2.1.10_3 Dependency: fontconfig-2.3.2_5,1 Dependency: xorg-libraries-6.9.0 Information for firefox-1.5.0.4,1: Depends on: Dependency: libiconv-1.9.2_2 Dependency: expat-2.0.0_1 Dependency: gettext-0.14.5_2 Dependency: jpeg-6b_4 Dependency: pkgconfig-0.20_2 Dependency: pkg-config-0.20_2 Dependency: png-1.2.8_3 Dependency: freetype2-2.1.10_3 Dependency: popt-1.7_1 Dependency: perl-5.8.8 Dependency: glib-2.10.2 Dependency: nspr-4.6.1 Dependency: nss-3.11_1 Dependency: fontconfig-2.3.2_5,1 Dependency: libxml2-2.6.24 Dependency: libdrm-2.0.1_1 Dependency: xorg-libraries-6.9.0 Dependency: libXft-2.1.7_1 Dependency: tiff-3.8.2 Dependency: xorg-fonts-encodings-6.9.0_1 Dependency: shared-mime-info-0.17_1 Dependency: bitstream-vera-1.10_2 Dependency: libIDL-0.8.6_2 Dependency: atk-1.11.4 Dependency: xorg-fonts-truetype-6.9.0 Dependency: hicolor-icon-theme-0.5 Dependency: glitz-0.4.4_1 Dependency: desktop-file-utils-0.11 Dependency: cairo-1.0.4 Dependency: pango-1.12.2 Dependency: gtk-2.8.17 My current kernel config file: machine i386 cpu I686_CPU ident GX260 options SCHED_ULE # ULE scheduler options PREEMPTION # Enable kernel thread preemption options INET # InterNETworking options FFS # Berkeley Fast Filesystem options SOFTUPDATES # Enable FFS soft updates support options UFS_ACL # Support for access control lists options UFS_DIRHASH # Improve performance on big directories options NFSCLIENT # Network Filesystem Client options MSDOSFS # MSDOS Filesystem options CD9660 # ISO 9660 Filesystem options PROCFS # Process filesystem (requires PSEUDOFS) options PSEUDOFS # Pseudo-filesystem framework options GEOM_GPT # GUID Partition Tables. options COMPAT_43 # Compatible with BSD 4.3 [KEEP THIS!] options COMPAT_FREEBSD4 # Compatible with FreeBSD4 options COMPAT_FREEBSD5 # Compatible with FreeBSD5 options SCSI_DELAY=5000 # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI options KTRACE # ktrace(1) support options SYSVSHM # SYSV-style shared memory options SYSVMSG # SYSV-style message queues options SYSVSEM # SYSV-style semaphores options _KPOSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING # POSIX P1003_1B real-time extensions options KBD_INSTALL_CDEV # install a CDEV entry in /dev options ADAPTIVE_GIANT # Giant mutex is adaptive. options IPFIREWALL #firewall options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE #enable logging to syslogd(8) options INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE # Include this file in kernel options TCP_DROP_SYNFIN #drop TCP packets with SYN+FIN device apic # I/O APIC device pci device fdc device ata device atadisk # ATA disk drives device atapicd # ATAPI CDROM drives options ATA_STATIC_ID # Static device numbering device ahc # AHA2940 and onboard AIC7xxx devices device isp # Qlogic family device scbus # SCSI bus (required for SCSI) device ch # SCSI media changers device da # Direct Access (disks) device sa # Sequential Access (tape etc) device atkbdc # AT keyboard controller device atkbd # AT keyboard device psm # PS/2 mouse device vga # VGA video card driver device splash # Splash screen and screen saver support device sc device agp # support several AGP chipsets device pmtimer device sio # 8250, 16[45]50 based serial ports device ppc device ppbus # Parallel port bus (required) device lpt # Printer device em # Intel PRO/1000 adapter Gigabit Ethernet Card device loop # Network loopback device random # Entropy device device ether # Ethernet support device pty # Pseudo-ttys (telnet etc) device bpf # Berkeley packet filter device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface device usb # USB Bus (required) device ugen # Generic device uhid # "Human Interface Devices" device ukbd # Keyboard device umass # Disks/Mass storage - Requires scbus and da device ums # Mouse options NETSMBCRYPTO options LIBICONV options LIBMCHAIN options UNIONFS #Union filesystem options NULLFS #NULL filesystem
