[Solved] Can't properly close Seamonkey

#1 Post by MakeTopSite »

I start it from terminal, Ctrl-C is needed to close Seamonkey. Can it please be fixed ?

Debian 11 32 bit.
No apparent problem in log which BTW seems to be incomplete:

Code: Select all

# journalctl -r

systemctl status systemd-journald
looks ok, there is enough disk space.

Seamonkey is not a Debian package, so Debian is not the place to ask if it can be fixed.
Unless it's a window manager issue but you have not supplied any info to suggest what it may be.

@MakeTopSite Why are you closing the GUI with the command line? I run seamonkey natively and have no issues even when trying the CTRL+C....though I have lots of keyserver issues in journal....
Typo perfectionish.

I'm using seamonkey downloaded from www.seamonkey-project.org. Excuse me I'm using IceWM. This problem doesn't appear on openSUSE Tumbleweed 32 bit (same seamonkey binary)

Because clicking on Seamonkey's "X" icon does not work. It's still runing.

version of icewm?

version of seamonkey?

Are they up to date or patched.

Does ctrl+q work? shutting down from seamonkey directly

Does Alt+F4 close the window from icewm?

Have you changed any setting in icewm? The newer versions make it very simple to enable and disable features and there
are lots of setting that are very powerful but to easy to change either with out knowing exactly what the outcome is or accidentally. Once configured I disable the settings submenu see below.

# Show settings submenu
ShowSettingsMenu=0 # 0/1

Backup or rename your hidden .icewm and try the default settings. If it fixes it redo your icewm preferences.

Everything is of latest stable version.

ctrl+q does not work even with new-default icewm profile.

Alt+F4 close the window from icewm (with exception of seamonkey).

I've extracted again archive with seamonkey binary and run it. Session was reset (without apparent reason). After few restarts of seamonkey it seems to be solved.

It seems your old seamonkey profile was corrupted

Installing a new binary will have changed your default profile.

~/.mozilla/seamonkey/xyz123.default/

I can't recall if it gets over written so you may have several seemingly random named directories in .mozilla/seamonkey. I think it just updates the profiles.ini file to point to the new settings. If so you can manage/create/delete/switch profiles to test them. I use them to view dodgy streaming sports sites and keep my main profile clean.

From the seamonkey toolbar: tools > switch profiles This is handy because it means you don't have to reinstall a new binary if your profile gets corrupted it also allows movement of heavily customised profiles to other systems.

profiles.ini
------------
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=xyz123.default
Default=1
