Firefox doesn't start anymore

Hi,

(PA-RISC/UX-11.11i) After installing Gimp, I noticed Firefox doesn't start anymore. Removed Gimp and all dependencies, but still nothing. Removed and reinstalled Firefox, again nothing. No error message either.

Can someone help me out pls?

Thanks.

Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

Maybe you removed some dependencies?

Any messages?

Did you try this:

Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

I don't get any messages at all. No core dumps. I've redownloaded Firefox using another computer, copied it to the PA-RISC, removed and reinstalled it. No go.

Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

Can you see it is "ps" output? Maybe it runs on another DISPLAY? ... Just an idea ...

Hope this helps!

Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

The output of "ps -ef | grep -i firefox" shows no Firefox at all. Other ideas?

Hmm, I would have thought these two would fix it. Or at least there should be an error message.

Do you have a system where it still works?
You could try using tusc to see where they diverge or if any errors before it exits.

Thanks for the tusc hint, but seeing the many options that can be given: do you have a suggestion which one(s) to use?

Use these to start:
tusc -fp -ea -o tusc.out firefox ...

Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

OK, now I have a problem. It seems I don't have tusc installed, and I don't have a supplemental CD. I found the options on the internet. Can I get tusc from the internet? (where)

Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

ok, installed tusc. Now I get a message:

#(firefox-bin:3909): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

This is odd, because previously I didn't need to set a display.
