Hello all,
Starting up my FC5 machine (2.6.16-1.2080_FC5) today, I noticed that Thunderbird retrieved messages and then suddenly crashed as I tried to do a compose or a reply. Restarting made no effect, so after hankering around a bit, I upgraded to 1.5.0.8 (I think I was on .7 ot .6 before, which worked fine). On doing so, I ran into all the usual extension troubles and uninstalled all of them. Still no effect. Well, so I start looking at websites to figure out what might be going wrong, when suddenly firefox crashes. Assuming there might've been some incompatibility between the 2 versions, I upgraded FF to 1.5.0.8 as well.
(I'm using Yum Update off FC5 repos here btw)
Alright, so far so good, except that I can now neither receive or send messages in t-bird, nor can I access gmail or anyother https authenticating website. I get the typical error :
# Check to make sure your system has the Personal Security Manager
installed.
# This might be due to a non-standard configuration on the server.
Which a lot of people have talked about on this forum, except that most of them have referred to it using FF 2.0. Alright, so the next thing I tried was running both in safe mode. I also removed all FF extensions (2 or 3 of them in all). Still no https. A word for those who would recommend firewall etc settings - Opera, my backup browser on the same machine is doing fine accessing HTTPS sites. And I think this is the exact same issue which t-bird faces too - since it uses SSL or similar to authenticate with gmail pop servers or other IMAP servers.
I then tried some troubleshooting tips on mozilla.org, but to no avail. I did notice however, that when I run with --g-fatal-warnings, I get an error:
/usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5.0.8/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 5421 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
My assumption - there seems to be a messup in the Personal Security Manager files which handle SSL or HTTPS authentication for some reason - the cause of which i can't figure out. I couldnt find a method to only reinstall the PSM off the FC5 repos. Does anyone have recommendations on how I can fix this? I couldn't even check out mozilla bugzilla because of the https issue.
Any help's really appreciated! Thanks.
