New subject: Rep:Re: programs works as root, but not as user

9 Aug 2004

If this doesn't work, the thing I would do would be to launch mozilla in
gdb, wait for the SIGSEGV signal, and see in which line in the source of
Mozilla is the problem. Maybe a variable contains a reference to the
resource causing the problem.
Just a thought...

  Hi all,

 my Mozilla runs fine when I am the root user, but not when I use a 
 "normal" user. It starts OK, gets the default page, and produces a 
 segmentation fault when it is about to render the page.

 As it is OK when run with root permissions, I suppose it is a permission 
...
  or path problem.

 My more general question is: how can I find out which ressources are 
 searched for, accessed, and with what result? 
This is very strange. I would log in as a normal user and do a

mv .mozilla .mozilla.bck

Start Mozilla and let it create a new .mozilla. Check if the problem
still persists.

A good method to see which files are accessed is by using strace. But I
have never used strace on a big program like Mozilla.

Have you changed your Mozilla or do you use the default Slackware
package?

Greetings, Patrick Kaell
