Crashes OOo and FireFox

[Andy Choens]

Binary package hint: resilience-theme

This theme has been causing me problems for weeks and I didn't even know it.

I started using this theme about the same time Gutsy went gold. Since then FireFox has been crashing on me often, sometimes several times a day. To make matters worse, OpenOffice.org Base started freezing up whenever I tried to edit a table or start a new project.

I have been looking for problems in FireFox and Base and I couldn't find anything useful.

Tonight I randomly changed my theme to Clearlooks. Base runs perfectly and FireFox is running faster and hasn't crashed yet.

I am running Gutsy with the ATI-FGLRX (possibly the real problem) driver. I am not using any desktop-effects. All of my packages come from the default Ubuntu repos.

l Would guess that the problem is actually the new SDL libraries, which don't get along well with any ati cards, Fgrlx or Xorg powered. Try switching anything with SDL in the name back to a feisty version, it may resolve the problem temporarily.
However, the most accurate way to detect the problem is to run the application that is crashing from a terminal by entering the program's name in. The name can be found in Alterce (I think) ,which is the gnome menu editor(not included by default, I think), by opening the menu editor and double clicking on the name of the program.Then you would see a application path below a title. simply copy the second line and paste it in a terminal. Using the broken theme , fool around until you get errors, and feed us any of those errors that have the words gnome, resilience, or just anything you think could be related, and we will have more evidence to solve this. This theme has been around since before edgy. I really don't think the problem is with the theme itself, the odds are rather low. It was last updated on Bazaar(Launchpad) 42 weeks ago by Daniel Holbach (<email address hidden>) who made some minor changes to a script in the package at that time and has been responsible for
 other changes in it since it was uploaded to Launchpad.
