[ARMedslack] Current: Problem with xterm and seg fault on firefox

[Ottavio]

Hello,

I am trying to build a minimal installation with X11 and Firefox,
mirroring what I have already on 64 bit PC.

I am running this image in qemu with command line:

qemu-system-arm.exe -M versatilepb  -drive
file=slackware-arm-root,index=0,media=disk   -kernel zImage-versatile
-initrd initrd-versatile.gz -append "root=/dev/sda1 rootfs=ext2"  -m
256 -usb  -no-shutdown

I've started from the current miniroot and added packages with
slackpkg (a painful process). So I've got to the point where I thin I
have all the necessary packages and all packages have been upgraded so
they are all up to date.

On the pc target I have no window managers and start firefox from the
console with this line:

$ startx firefox &

but on the ARM target I get error:  xterm: bad command line option "xterm".

If I start xterm with this line:

xinit -- :0

I can start xterm fine. I wonder if anybody has any ideas.

Then I have a second and bigger problem. Once I have started xterm I
launch Firefox and I get a segmentation fault:

I have reinstalled Firefox but I get the same error.

Thank you for your attention
