Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

> It is a C3700 PA-RISC workstation running CDE
On a local graphics console right?

Log out from CDE and login again with a new CDE session. Post the output of "echo $DISPLAY". The DISPLAY variable should already be setup and should not have to set it again. If it is not, then something is wrong in your profile or the CDE environment.

What is in the tusc.out file?

Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

After re-login, "echo $DISPLAY" is "Somerset:0.0". I attached the output from tusc.out.

Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

Is "Somerset" your **exact** hostname?

Hope this helps!

Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

"hostname" gives Somerset as output.

A simple Copy+Paste of the actual command and
its actual output would be more credible.

Who sets it to that? Something in your shell
start-up stuff?

Does any other X program run this way? Say,
xclock or dtterm? (That is, is this problem
limited to Firefox, or does everything fail
when you run it from a command line?)

Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

I know copy/past is more credible. Problem is that I can't do that without a browser running. And that's what my whole problem is right now.

The hostname is set in /etc/hosts.

X-programs running fine are Adobe Reader and Scilab. Both are started from commandline.

This indicates: DISPLAY=10.0.0.7:0.0
There were a bunch of connect(2) to a socket that got:
connect(5, 0x7f7f1134, 16) ... ERR#239 ECONNREFUSED

It then did an exit(1). The last message it wrote to stderr was:
write(2, "\n( f i r e f o x - b i n : 3 4 ".., 60)

Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

I ran tusc again, now with DISPLAY having the default value. I assume it contains the same errors.

It is completely different.
DISPLAY=Somerset:0.0

(You actually have machines with uppercase letters? :-)

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/firefox:/opt/firefox/plugins:=/opt/gtk2.6/lib/mre/mre-2.0.0.19
SHLIB_PATH is also broken.

This embedded "=" isn't going to help.

And you have this xhost error:
write(2, "X l i b : c o "n n e c t i o n t o " S o m e r s e t : 0 . 0 " r e f u s e d b y s e r v r \r\nX l i b : C l i e n t i s n o t a u "

Re: Firefox doesn't start anymore

Do you have any suggestion on what action to take?
You say "This embedded "=" isn't going to help."; what should be better?
Also "And you have this xhost error:
write(2, "X l i b : c o "n n e c t i o n t o " S o m e r s e t : 0 . 0 " r e f u s e d b y s e r v r \r\nX l i b : C l i e n t i s n o t a u "" What does this indicate? That I can't start firefox because xserver refuses a connection? Why?
