Description Dave Hodgins 2012-03-05 07:26:51 CET

Going to any website that has text enterable fields
causes opera to crash when running a cauldron install.

This does not happen in a Mageia 1 install.

This has been reported to opera, with the bug id DSK-358726.

I cannot get a backtrace, as attaching gdb to the main opera
process stops opera from responding to any input.  As this
does not happen with Mageia 1, but does with cauldron, it
appears to be a cauldron problem.

While I realize opera cannot be supported by Mageia developers,
this is clearly a mageia problem.

If someone with a faster system can manage to get a backtrace,
that may help.

seems we cannot follow the upstream bug report. :s

Anssi any ideas ?

Comment 2 Anssi Hannula 2012-03-06 04:17:43 CET

I cannot reproduce on 64-bit or 32-bit cauldron. You can try moving ~/.opera away or run opera as another user.

As for opera stopping responding to input, that is expected as gdb stops the target process when attaching. Use the gdb command 'cont' to resume execution.

Created attachment 1685 [details]
Backtrace from crash.

Doesn't happen if I use opera -pd /home/dave/newdir

The attached backtrace is using my regular .opera directory, which
is a symlink to a directory on an encrypted filesystem on a lvm
logical valume, with around 30,000 messages accumulated over more
than a decade (originally imported to opera from a dos email pgm).

I'll forward a copy of the backtrace to opera, although it
doesn't look very useful.

Comment 4 Dave Hodgins 2012-03-27 04:25:50 CEST

Seems to be fixed in opera 11.62 Release Candidate 1, build 1347.

Comment 5 Marja Van Waes 2012-05-26 13:07:22 CEST

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

While it initially seemed to be fixed in 11.62, it just reduced the frequency.

Also occurs with opera-next, which will soon be released as opera 12.

Changing to release 2 bug, with upstream keyword.

I finally gave in and created a new opera profile, copied the mail subdirectory,
and wand.dat, imported bookmarks and contacts, and the error no longer occurs.

No idea what was causing the error, but given I'd been using the same profile
since Mandrake 10, it had a lot of obsolete stuff.
