[SOLVED] Firefox and OpenJDK give buffer overflow

Hello all,
I hope I am posting this on the right forum. I am having some problems on sites with Java when opening them using Firefox 14.0.1 and the OpenJDK plugin.
Whenever I open a site that has any kind of java (even the simple applet tutorial given on oracle website) I get a buffer overflow error. If I switch to Sun JDK (well Oracle? whatever...) everything works perfectly. Opera with OpenJDK works perfectly as well.
This is what I get:
*** buffer overflow detected ***: firefox terminated

It's not a very big issue for me, it takes a split second to switch between OpenJDK and Sun but if I happen to forget, things go pear shaped. Anyone else having this issue? I remember something like that, if I am not mistaken, happening with Firefox 3.5 but that has been fixed long ago.

[Solved] Firefox 3 betas give me some weird behaviour with images

I understand that there will be problems with beta software, however I seem to have memory issues with the firefox 2 series, so I thought I'd give the beta packages a try. I'm using the firefox-nightly package from AUR (firefox3b4), and I'm getting some weird behaviour. The same behaviour can be seen in all firefox 3 beta builds, however. It's hard to explain the problem, so here's a screenshot:
Notice that the image appears twice, once in the tab, and once in the tab toolbar next to the title of the tab. It looks like an attempted preview gone terribly wrong. Upon closing the tab, the tab toolbar shrinks down to the normal size and all is well. This happens with most images up to a certain size. Any one else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions? This is very annoying and I would like anyone's input on the problem.

[SOLVED] Firefox and Java: Website broken

Hi Archers
I'm struggling to get my bank's website to work in Arch linux. It's been working without a hitch before, but now I can't make it work.
The site is located at https://www.portalbank.dk/9100/.
There should be a Java login box and if you press "hent nøgle" a 'file open' dialog should pop up. With my computer, there's just a grey box where the Java login should've been.
I'm using the current version of both firefox (3.0.4-1) and openjdk (1.3.1-2) on both my computers. If I go to http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp it looks as if Java should be installed correctly.
Can any of you guys see the page and have any idea why I can't?
I really appreciate your help.

[SOLVED] firefox and thunderbird freeze

Hi, since a few day I've had issues with both firefox 9 and thunderbird 9. Firefox starts normally, but whenever I touch try to open a menu it freezes. If I start ff from a terminal I don't get any error error messages it just hangs. Killing the program from the gui does not work, but I when started from the terminal ctrl-c kills it without any problems. The problem only occurs for the main toolbar, my bookmarks bar works fine, as do the home button, url bar and such. Thunderbird shows similar freezes, but they occur consistently after starting the program. I think the problems started after upgrading to version 9, but I am not entirely sure, since I don't use the laptop on which the problem occurs much for email and browsing.
I tried renaming my .mozilla folder so I could make a fresh start, but this had no effect, nor did starting firefox in safe-mode. I also tried downgrading to 8.x but then it froze on startup. Since gtk3 was updated at the same time as well, I tried downgrading that one as well, but to no effect As the program is frozen the memory and cpu use are normal.
Does anyone have any suggestions towards finding a solution?
[edit]I have two arch installations on this laptop and just tried updating the other (somewhat neglected) install. In this one all works fine.I'm trying to go over the differences between the two now.[/edit]

I assumed the .pulse folder is related to pulseaudio, because of the name and the contents, so I uninstalled pulseaudio and friends and deleted the ~/.pulse folder. Now firefox and thunderbird work again as they should. And as a bonus spotify finally works again as well. Pulseaudio has been giving me a headache on this laptop but I don't understand why it interfered with firefox.
Thanks for helping out.
If the glibc problem turns out to persist I can undo the solved tag ofc.

[SOLVED] Firefox and Thunderbird intermittently runs without a window

I'm having an intermittent problem with Firefox and Thunderbird. When I attempt to launch either firefox or thunderbird the respective application will show up in htop (I see a bunch of firefox threads) but no window appears and the CPU load is 0%. When the application (Firefox or Thunderbird) is running but not visible, the mouse and keyboard remain fully functional; e.g. I can launch a new terminal and switch work-spaces without trouble. Repeatedly killing the application and restarting it will sometimes result in the application loading properly (i.e. I get a fully functional window with working menus, etc).
I'm currently using Firefox version 8.0.1 and Thunderbird version 8.0 with the i3 window manager on my Macbook 5,1 (with nvidia drivers). I did a full system update about a month ago. I've not experienced this problem on my workstation: a custom built AMD system with ATI graphics. Both my macbook and custom workstation are using the same versions of i3, Firefox, and Thunderbird.
I did a little experiment and temporarily switch over to fluxbox for a while. While using fluxbox I was unable to replicate the symptoms; both Firefox and thunderbird appear to work fine. But, since the problem is "random" it is hard to say for sure if this was just a coincidence.
I tried launching firefox and thunderbird from a terminal: no errors or output of any kind are printed to the terminal even when the application window does not appear. Launching Firefox in safemode does not appear to have any influence.
I saw a similar bug report on the mozilla website dating back a few years (version 3.0 I believe of Firefox). But I didn't see any links to a solution or explanation of the problem.
Any advise on how to debug this?
Thanks in advance.
(I appoligize if this has already been addressed somewhere else. My search attempts did not yield any relevant hits.)
EDIT: marked as solved
Last edited by bsilbaugh (2012-03-14 23:23:52)

I recently did a full system update, which includes a kernel upgrade (from 3.0 to 3.2), and the symptoms have disappeared. Firefox and Thunderbird appear to be functioning normally.
It's still not clear what was causing the original problem. I guess I'll just have to live with the mystery.

[solved] Firefox and ed2k / aMule links

Hi,
I want Firefox to add ed2k links to the Transfers in aMule if I click on one.
I opend the Firefox config (about:config) and created these two entries:
network.protocol-handler.external.ed2k user set boolean true
network.protocol-handler.app.ed2k user set string /usr/bin/ed2k
but if I click on a ed2k link in Firefox I get this error:
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address,
because the protocol (ed2k) isn't associated with any program.

I did it like described on amule.org

I don't know what exactly MozEx is, but there are no MozEx Packages in the Repos and AUR.

So the problem is that firefox seems to ignore this entry in about:config

now it works. don't know why, but it works.
I just
- deleted the two entries in about:config
- closed Firefox
- startetd Firefox and added the (exactly same) entries in about:config

[SOLVED] Firefox and bad fonts

I would like to start using Firefox and its excellent plugins, but the only thing that prevents me are the fonts. They seem plain evil!
They are fuzzy and somehow too large and CTRL++ or CTRL+- won't help with the look. Take a loot at these:
Firefox: fonts are fuzzy and some characters are looking like painted - see the copyright sign for example! :evil: Also the distance between different characters in a word doesnt seem to be equal all the times and that makes it hard to grasp the word.
Mozilla Suite: crisp and clear
I think it is somehow xft - related, because I downloaded the standard Mozilla suite build and it also had these awful fonts and then tried the non-xft build and fonts were ok. In Appearance-Fonts they are described as Serif -> adobe-times-iso8859-1, Sans-serif -> adobe-helvetica-iso8859-1 and so on. How could I get these fonts appear in Firefox, too?
I have tried to compile Firefox myself with disable-xft option, but it fails with an error about gtk not being found in pkgconfig path.

What you call "crisp", I just call "aliased". The fonts in Opera are also aliased, which makes them look poor. Your Firefox's fonts look nice, except the fact that the autohinter is making them look sloppy. Comment that part out and see how it looks.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">

well, i've solved my problem by changing main font from Lucida Grande to another font.
Last edited by ras0ir (2009-07-14 08:43:05)

I had exactly the same problem but i didn't want to change my system font because i really like the elegance of 'Lucida Grande'.
I tried a bit tweaking Firefox with creating userChrome.css but it didn't work for me.
Then i installed the stylish addon and created a custom userstyle:
* Bugfix for the firefox input fields when using 'Lucida grande' as system font
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
input {
font-family: sans-serif !important;
With this workaround all input fields are at the right size again. Of course 'sans-serif' shouldn't again point to 'Lucida Grande' For me it's 'DejaVu Sans'.
Could someone help me to realize this workaround with a userChrome.css so i don't need the stylish extension anymore?
Also this tweak applies to all 'input' fields - e.g. to buttons, too. How can i specifiy, that it should only target single-line text inputs?
cheers

How to manage buffer overflow

hi
If stored procedure is written and if the buffer overflows then how do i tackle buffer overflow.
Thanks
ram

> DBMS_OUTPUT knows nothing about "Standard Output".
Exactly. And to expand on William's comments.. <adding some weight to it by brandishing a lead pipe> ;-)
That "buffer" sits smack inside the PGA as a PL/SQL static variable. And throwing tons of data into is just plain stupid.
The best place for data is where? In some PL/SQL collection variable? That consumes "expensive" (dedicated and not shared) server memory? That needs to be "cleaned" by a client call (and does this really free the memory malloc'ed)? Data that cannot be filtered, aggregated, sorted, and analysed?
Or is the best place for data in a table? An Oracle table? That can be filtered, sorted, aggregated and analysed? That can have a trigger to capture PL/SQL call stack and neat session stuff for debugging and analysis.
And yes, I think we need to be very clear and very blunt about this.
DBMS_OUTPUT is primitive.
DMBS_OUTPUT is primarily for debugging purposes.
DBMS_OUTPUT has no place in production code.
DBMS_OUTPUT is not a "write" method to some "standard output".
Using DBMS_OUTPUT as some render-client-display is missing the very basic issue of what client-server is.
Is missing the point of how to use Oracle. And use it correctly.
And if you think that DBMS_OUTPUT is a means to buffer/cache data for some report writing purposes, or for some client to retrieve.. then. you are missing it by a very, very, obscenely wide margin.

Doing Data acq. and buffered period measurement using counters simultaneously, gives an buffer overflow error

Iam doing Data acquisition using NI-PXI 4472 and buffered period Measurement using NI-PXI 6602 simultaneously,my program gives an buffer overflow error

murali_vml,
There are two common buffer overflow and overwrite errors.
Overflow error -10845 occurs when the NI-DAQ driver cannot read data from the DAQ device's FIFO buffer fast enough to keep up with the acquired data as it flows to the buffer (i.e., the FIFO buffer overflows before all the original data can be read from it). This is usually due to limitations of your computer system, most commonly the result of slow processor speeds (< 200 MHz) in conjunction with PCMCIA DAQ boards, which have small FIFO buffers (e.g., the DAQCard-500). Sometimes using a DAQCard with a larger FIFO can solve the problem, but a better solution is to lower the acquisition rate or move to a faster system. Another cause of the -10845 error could be due to an interrupt-driven
acquisition. For example, PCMCIA bus does not support Direct Memory Access (DMA). If the system is tied up processing another interrupt (like performing a screen refresh or responding to a mouse movement) when it is time to move data from the board, then that data may get overwritten.
Overwrite error -10846 occurs when the data in the software buffer that you created for an analog input operation gets overwritten by new data before you can retrieve the existing data from the buffer. This problem can be solved by adjusting the parameters of your data acquisition, such as the lowering the scan rate, increasing the buffer size, and/or increasing the number of scans to read from the buffer on each buffer read. Additionally, performing less processing in the loop can help avoid the -10846 error.
See the NI-DAQ Function Reference Manual for a listing of all NI-DAQ error codes.
Have a great day.

Device buffer overflow error and Log component missing

I have some previous information in "Error device buffer overflow" post.
I am currently running a windows XP machine with a 3.4 GHz
processor and 3 GB of RAM. I tried using just one 9233 module with the
cDAQ9172 and it worked. I added the second 9233 module and it started
giving me the error. I checked the memory usage when acquisition is not
started it was 868 MB and the CPU usage was 0-2%. When I started
acquisition the memory usage did not change much it went to about 880
MB and the CPU to about 100% and the error was displayed. The code shows the error that device buffer is overflowing when I use the program on a new machine even for one module with cDAQ9172 but when I switch it back to the original machine it works for single module but not for multiple.
As the error suggests. I tried switching the update views in "Update
signals while running" and "Prepare log data for viewing" off but it
still did not help. If I switch both these off I wont be able to see
what kind of impact data I am collecting. Please do correct me if I am
wrong.
I need to colelct the impact data on a printer and I have
a many locations on it that I need to collect data from. Please
suggest a solution for this problem.
Also, if i try using the same project on some other machine it gives me an error indicating some log component files are missing from signal express and need to be installed. This happens when i transfer the project from one machine to another.
Thank you.

Stu,
You will still be able to print your data in a later step when setting the two options recommended by the error code. What is likely happening when you try to move the project is that the project has log files still associated with it from previous attempts. You should save a copy of the project and in that copy delete the log files, then try to move the project over. SE projects are directly associated with the log files they create. This should allow you to move the project to a new computer.
When you go to run your project, you should shut down as many background processes as possible, such as IM clients. If you can disconnect from your network, I would suggest doing that and turning off any antivirus/anti-spyware software you have to free up resources.
A couple of further questions:
Are you connecting to a USB 1.0 or USB 2.0 port? You should be able to determine this by opening the device manager on your computer and expanding "Universal Serial Bus" section. If any of the drivers have "Enhanced" in their name, you have a USB 2.0 port.
Does this behavior repeat with any combination of the three modules? For instance, does it work if you just have module one, module two, or module three install? Do you still get the error if module two and three are used instead of one and two? (This will help determine if we are encountering a problem with the modules or with SE)
Finally, if you create a project that contains only one step that only reads the data off of all three modules, do you still get the error? (This will help isolate the problem)
