I'm not using proprietary closed source software, but try running it from a command line to see if there is any error from the program. You can also try to check if it is missing any library (if it is not statically linked) with 'ldd <binary>', also if you have SElinux enabled (which is default on Fedora) check for its messages (I think in /var/log/audit/audit.log) (maybe it blocks some "actions" from you software, and if it does, you can temporarily try disabling SELinux and testing it again) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
