Till today morning, I was a happy KDE user and now this!

I use a Dual-boot computer --- Kubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu Gnome 13.10. Ubuntu Gnome is almost never used.

Today, I got a Update notification in Kubuntu. A new kernel version was downloaded and installed. On restarting, I accidentally booted into Ubuntu Gnome 13.10. And because I wanted to do some browsing, launched Firefox there. But soon logged out of Ubuntu Gnome and restarted to come back to Kubuntu.

Now, when I try to launch Firefox, it refuses to start. When I start it from a terminal, I get an error saying:

(process:2334): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

(firefox:2334): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::sm-connect after class was initialised

(firefox:2334): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::show-crash-dialog after class was initialised

(firefox:2334): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::display after class was initialised

(firefox:2334): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: Attempt to add property GnomeProgram::default-icon after class was initialised

** (firefox:2334): ERROR **: Resource problem creating '/tmp/orbit-uname'

The error is similar for Thunderbird.

Amarok when started from terminal gives an error:

QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
QDBusConnection: session D-Bus connection created before QCoreApplication. Application may misbehave.
KCrash: Application 'amarok' crashing...

unnamed app(2426): Communication problem with "amarok" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "

What is happening? How do I set it right?

re: FF
1st could you try running FF as a new user

2nd are you using qtcurve as a GTK theme in systemsettings, if so try a different theme

I attempted the second remedy first and it worked like charm! Writing this reply from Firefox in KDE.

The Thunderbird is also normal now. I could start that, too.

Thanks google01103.

But I am still unable to run Amarok. Anything I need to do there?

for Amarok please start a new thread in the Amarok forum

also run in Konsole place output in the thread (using code tags or pastebin) and also try as new user

Code: Select all

 amarok --nofork --debug

Sure. Will do that. But as if by miracle, it is working now

Thanks!

i have some problem and do your advise,but still not working
any problem at other part,maybe.

Could you please open a new topic, and include in it console output when you try to start those applications, as well as a list of other affected applications?
