Bug 15016

Created attachment 5805 [details]

I'm not sure whether live mode is relevant or first run is more relevant. I'll need to install without first launching firefox to test.

Adding some previous committers.

CC: (none) => doktor5000, thierry.vignaud, tmb

when killed and restarted it behaves normally.

Cannot reproduce here. Tested with Mageia-5-beta2-LiveDVD-GNOME-i586-DVD.iso (md5 6e4b94e7dfeb3e08ad91ec3b37685d08) in virtualbox, english language and english keyboard. Tested entering some text in mageia blog comment box without submitting, and used firefox to submit this reply.

Nothing in journal at that time.

en_GB Florian?

If installed without first using firefox, the first run is ok in the installed system. It seems to be only first run in live mode affected.

Could you please mention the steps to reproduce this? First you mention live mode, now first run in installed system. Just tried again in live mode, works just fine.

I did implicitly change to English instead of default English (American) and UK keyboard. How do you select en_GB, or do you refer to the firefox language pack?

Tried again as described above, and it results in:

[live@localhost ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ALL=

Firefox first run in live mode is just fine, used it again to reply here.

Ok. When booting the live iso, choose "english" and select uk keyboard and london timezone.

Then start firefox and click the blog post and click into the comments box as if to leave a comment and attempt to type. Firefox becomes instantly unresponsive and has to be killed.

After it has been killed and restarted it's then possible to enter text without issue.

On a system installed without using FF in live mode the first time FF is started work normally, as it should and text entry is possible, so this only affects FF when run in live mode.

I guess it could be related to bug 14476

Exactly what I did, and firefox worked just fine. Also above settings result in en_US as posted in comment 7 .

Hence please more details:
- md5sum of the image
(mine as posted before Mageia-5-beta2-LiveDVD-GNOME-i586-DVD.iso md5=6e4b94e7dfeb3e08ad91ec3b37685d08)
- physical test or VM? What settings?
I'm testing in virtualbox VM, 3d acceleration enabled and x86_64 capable (but i586 live media) with 4GB RAM

I don't think a different or wrong keyboard setting makes firefox use 100% CPU.

All details posted in original comment 0. Testing on athlon x2, nvidia-current, ivtv. The md5sum you gave is correct for the most recent, yes.

6e4b94e7dfeb3e08ad91ec3b37685d08  Mageia-5-beta2-LiveDVD-GNOME-i586-DVD.iso

btw, not sure it is using 100% cpu. It just appears to hang.

Is this bug still present in recent ISOs?

I'm editing this using Mageia-5-LiveDVD-KDE4-i586-DVD.iso running in Virtualbox with 2 meg ram. I followed procedure Claire's procedure from comment 8. Seems to be OK.
