Could be. How do I find out?


On startup from konsole I always get this:
(process:5719): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

(firefox:5719): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::sm-connect after class was initialised

Comment 5 Manuel Hiebel 2014-03-16 19:29:39 CET

start it without and enable them one by one, btw these are plugin not extensions, but may be the cause too.

Comment 6 Hans Micheelsen 2014-03-16 19:59:57 CET

I haven't got any extensions. I'll try to analyse as you suggested.

Comment 7 Hans Micheelsen 2014-03-16 21:24:32 CET

Even with all plugins switched off firefox crashes

Comment 8 Hans Micheelsen 2014-03-17 16:08:37 CET

I just had a crash on TexStudio, so maybe its not a firefox issue, but an OS/distribution/installation issue. Firefox is just the usual suspect because its run more frequently than other apps.

How do I get more info out of the system to when crashes occur?

Comment 9 Hans Micheelsen 2014-04-04 17:05:03 CEST

I'll close this one. It seems to be my hardware that wrecks my system. With memtest86 I got 64000++ errors.
