Hi all

has someone experienced this behaviour with microb? Sometimes the browser does not load a page after typing an address or text in the address bar.
The progress bar below the address keeps bouncing forever and never starts the load of the page. The only way i have to fix this is opening a xterm and kill browser and browserd. After that, if I open a new browser the page is load normally.

Any clue or fix?

Regards and thanks in advance

Carlos

Try in XTerm rename or delete the directory /home/user/.mozilla/microb. Microb stores all user data in there including any plugins you might have, so clearing that directory should reset the browser.

Perhap reboot your device first and do NOT start the browser, as once the browser has been started killall does not kill it completely (at least for me).

Maybe you are kidding.. but anyway as i said in my post, there is no need for a reboot....

killall broser
killall browserd

is enough...

I may be misunderstanding, but I occasionally see similar when loading a page in microb and I just hit the red cross to the right of the adress bar. that stops the hung page load process and I then just choose reload from the microb dropdown menu.

I'm having the same issue, still in PR1.3. No better fix than `killall browser;killall browserd`. Curiously, both must be done in order to get it unstuck, just one is not enough.

I tried looking at bugs.maemo.org, but I don't see anything similar reported there (at least in the bug summary).

I've checked with tcpdump that when this issue happens, the browser does not even try to do anything over the network.

Whatever I do, I can't kill browser or browserd, neither with killall or kill -9. The browser is not visible to kill although it shows up in ps and for browserd nothing happens at all.

Are you sure?

Both processes are automatically restarted when they get killed, and when checking ps after killing them you probably see the newly started processes already.

Check the process IDs (PID) with ps to make sure that this isn't the case. If the PIDs change, then the original processes have been killed and you are looking at the new ones.
