Hello Peter,
Yes, I did.
Nice script! - over my head but I waded through this with my home setup
that I use to test before even doing updates at school. A new version of
firefox did it to me a month or two ago at home...
I'm running a 32 bit version of Firefox out of /opt on my 64 bit systems now
with all of the plugins working... Everything was fine until the update
that included a newer Firefox. I knew I shouldn't have let into the
update. Just too tired to think!
Today I've got the same problem on one of my three production servers. I
let Firefox update and now all of my plugins are trashed in K12LTSP... This
is in another thread.
I wonder if the EL5 that Eric massaged for all of us in 64 bit is now
polluted by soem repo mistake??
Thanks,
Jim

------------------------------
This is a problem that happens when a new profile is created and the
latest flash-plugin (installed from repo). The crash happens after
logging into a Gmail account.
(Gecko:819): Gdk-WARNING **: shmget failed: error 28 (No space left on device)
/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 819 Segmentation
fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
Apparently the Flash plugin doesn't release the shared memory that it
allocates.
After I run this script the problem goes away. Is anyone else
experiencing this?
#!/bin/bash
ID=$(ipcs -m | awk '{print $2}')
for id in $ID
do
ipcrm -m $id
done
