Firefox 70 broken with pulseaudio

Is it possible to get iso slitaz-rolling before the last?

Today update to the latest rolling version 2019-Nov-10 and firefox-70.0.1 lost the audio that worked with pulseaudio.

Before updating firefox 70 it worked very well with audio and video

Re: Firefox 70 broken with pulseaudio

SOLVED!

I had some problems with firefox-official.

1) First problem with "locale", send this error:

-----------------

locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory

locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale: No such file or directory

locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory

LANG=es_ES.UTF-8

LANGUAGE=

LC_CTYPE="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_NUMERIC=es_VE.UTF-8

LC_TIME=es_VE.UTF-8

LC_COLLATE="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_MONETARY=es_VE.UTF-8

LC_MESSAGES="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_PAPER="es_ES.UTF-8"

LC_NAME="es_ES.UTF-8"

-----------------

Solution: export LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8

2) Second problem, the audio: "pulseaudio" aborts the start of firefox.

-----------------

$ firefox-official

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 597: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

-----------------

A library was missing "libwrap.so.0"

Solution: tazpkg -gi libwrap

3) For firefox to play twitter videos or live streams from youtube.

You need to install ffmpeg and other files. You solve by installing "VLC".

Now firefox-official updated to version 70.0.1, works very well

Re: Firefox 70 broken with pulseaudio

Great news and congrats solving that alone. I usually install "apulse" with firefox so the sound work fine.

Re: Firefox 70 broken with pulseaudio

Good to see you again in the forum @pankso !!

With pulseaudio you have to fix the configuration files by hand as indicated by @mojo here http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/issue-with-pulseaudio#post-37164

With apulse it also works for me following this thread http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/no-sound-after-31655-update#post-46048

tazpkg -gi apulse

sed -i 's/Exec=firefox-official %u/Exec=\/usr\/bin\/apulse firefox-official %u/' /usr/share/applications/firefox-official.desktop

-----------------

Thanks for fix firefox-official by adding libwrap and vlc http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/f95c417fc3b6

@Rerivero

Another workaround after install apulse is patch libxul.so with

patchelf --set-rpath /usr/lib/apulse libxul.so
