Coredump after openSuSE upgrade

Please remember to copy the list on all replies.

GnuCash 2.6 uses an obsolete version of the WebKit library that hasn’t been updated in several years. It shouldn’t be used for anything besides GnuCash because it has a huge number of known exploits that have been fixed in the current WebKit2. The actual crash was triggered in a Java plugin named IcedTeaPlugin. I don’t know anything about that, but I suspect that it requires the WebKit2 API and crashes when WebKit1 tries to load it. You’ll have to find out from the OpenSuSE community how to adjust your system so that that doesn’t happen.

If you remove the .gcm file in ~/.gnucash/books corresponding to the file that’s causing trouble GnuCash will open it with only the Accounts tab open. The .gcm is just an “ini” file, so you could even edit it to remove the report page(s) and leave the others.
