Does anyone know of a good firefox mailing list?
I have a customized LTSP that runs all applications on the local
thinclient. For example after it configures X, makes sure /tmp is
writable, it switches to a "user" user and runs the local
(/opt/ltsp/i386)/usr/X11R6/bin/startx, and it starts up IceWM and works
fine. (No login is needed.)
(I do not rsh/ssh back to client to run apps.)
From the server hosting the LTSP, I can chroot into the /opt/ltsp/i386
directory and run my firefox from there successfully. I have all
components, libraries needed by firefox all installed under the
/opt/ltsp/i386 hierarchy.
But when I boot my thinclient, the window manager works and I can run
local X clients. But firefox just hangs.
The only main difference from it working in the chroot and not working
from the actual booted ltsp thinclient is the kernel. The chroot
environment is running Linux 2.4.21-202-smp4G kernel (and SuSE Linux 9.0
(i586)). The LTSP thinclient boots using Linux kernel 2.4.24-ltsp-4.
I have various strace debugging saved. When running from the thinclient,
firefox never loads the libgconf-2 nor libORBit-2 libraries, for example.
It hangs before that.
Running it from the thinclient, it does:

Then it just stops there. Notice the stat64() straced line never
completed.
Another time, it just stopped here:

I can provide complete strace logs if needed (for successful in chroot and
not successful when booting the thinclient).
I wonder if the LTSP Linux kernel is missing some functionality needed?
Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
