I get the same error messages. Firefox can run as the sudo local user. But, when a user authenticating with ldap and mounting a homedir on another machine, firefox and openoffice just hang. Other gnome programs do run.
What other info can I provide? -- firefox will not start. https://launchpad.net/bugs/39351 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
