Hey guys, I honestly have no clue what changed my ROX settings, but I had ROX-Filer as my desktop manager for close to 5 months without a single problem. The last thing I did was emerge latex in Gentoo via ssh, then when I got home and tried to click on an icon on my desktop, rox-filer crashed and exited. I cannot determine why it is crashing, I can't find a debug flag so that I can get some messages... If I rm -fr ~/Choices ... then restart ROX, I can click on icons and it does not crash... so it must be something in that folder causing it to crash. Thanks! George |

The program forks off, so I can't seem to debug it easily... I did try recompiling but that didn't work... I also tried upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3 and it still happens... the only other thing I can remember installing between this problem was LaTeX ... no clue Any other ideas? Thanks!

It shouldn't do that if you use '--debug', since '-n' is the default in that case (unless you specify some other arguments to 'run'. There are more instructions on debugging here: http://rox.sourceforge.net/desktop/node/16 I did try > recompiling but that didn't work...

Do you still have the old Choices directory that makes it crash? It may be worth finding out which file inside causes it. -- Dr Thomas Leonard=09=09http://rox.sourceforge.net GPG: 9242 9807 C985 3C07 44A6 8B9A AE07 8280 59A5 3CC1 |
