|
|
I'm having fun with Fluxbox...I updated it this morning as there was a bugfix release. However now I find that certain things crash my whole system. One way is to use Xemacs and try to open a file. This locks
up my pc solid...have to do a restart.
The problem's not Xemacs as this works fine in KDE.
Anyone else having this problem?
Very annoying really...back to KDE it seems, just when I was getting into fluxbox. |

Jep. I use ssh to log in and kill fluxbox, then log in again in X.
Hopeing -r2 fixes that _________________ Kind regards, enrique

I've been using 0.1.11-r1 without problems. Prior to that, I had no problems with any versions either. Have you tried backing down from r2? _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo? |

try RTFM'ing a bit about sysRQ in case you can't ssh into the boxen. it's under Documentation/ in the kernel source tree.
