The Firefox pet is downloaded from nluug and I get the standard advice that it is installed and can be found under Internet in the menu.
It is there, but when clicked the browser does not come up.
I click a second time in the menu and a dialogbox tells me that updates are being installed. The browser comes up. I am able to do anything I would usually do from the browser but after choosing to reboot or shutdown, it crashes to a black and white screen with a half page error message with this first line:
Code: Select all
unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000054.
Sometimes after the crash, the system does not reboot/shutdown nicely; I have to power off (hard reset).
If I click Firefox in the menu once, that is avoid the update dialog, then either choose reboot or shutdown, the system does not crash. The crash occurs only after the firefox update.
Any ideas? I would rather not start over installing packages into a new pupsave file if there is a simple way to fix the prob. I had to do so before when I didn't get any sound at youtube,
On a hunch, I tried calling firefox from the command line after the first try from Menu and got the output shown below. The browser came up. The shutdown crashed.
