Package: iceweasel Version: 3.0.6-3 Severity: normal
When I start iceweasel, even in safe mode, two full minutes pass before the window appear. After that, browsing seems to work as normal. But this waiting is not exactly interesting. I get a small window with a big error message: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Could not send message to GConf daemon: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)

All the guesses are wrong. The network is up, including loopback. I don't use NFS, and the lockfiles mentioned in the URL aren't there. "ps aux" reveals a process called /usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2 I guess iceweasel tried to communicate with that? There are no other processes with "gconf" in the name. I wish this app would use a simple textfile for its config, instead of this complicated and bug-prone attempt at communicating with _another process over a network_. The textfile approach works so well for many other apps, some bigger and some much smaller than iceweasel. Keep it simple. A single config file under .mozilla. and no big directory tree there either. Well, I know that won't happen, but one can dream. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (700, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-rc5 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=nb_NO.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nb_NO.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 3.2.2 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.8.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.2-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.3-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnspr4-0d 4.8-1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libstdc++6 4.4.2-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii procps 1:3.2.8-2 /proc file system utilities ii psmisc 22.10-1 utilities that use the proc file s ii xulrunner-1.9 1.9.0.13-0lenny1 XUL + XPCOM application runner iceweasel recommends no packages.
