Dear All, I have an interesting problem with my office computer. The O/S I am using is Redhat Enterprise Linux AS3.0 Beta, The Kernel version is 2.4.21-1.1931.2.399.ent I have had this system installed since 31st October, and when I try to open various programs, and use various applications, the app locks up or fails to open. Specifically,I install StarOffice 5.2 and when I power cycle and then try to use the program, I get the error "segmentation fault" until I remove and reinstall again. Open office 1.1.0 won't open a variety of spreadsheets and documents, especially those with links to other docs. in, and just freezes up. The gimp no longer opens, but works if I deinstall and reinstall it until I power cycle the system. Interestingly enough, I did a local install on this computer of star office 5.2, so all data is stored on my home partition. I have the home partition on an extractable disk, which I have now extracted and put on another computer that is running RH v9. When I try to open star office 5.2 now, it opens fine, but I know I will get the error message if I go back to my office machine with the redhat AS3.0. Therefore, the reason my programs are not opening must be related to the operating system, it seems to occur only after a reboot, and it is probably not a file on my home partition that is causing the problem. I heard about the segmentation fault error being typically due to memory problems,but I feel it is an OS problem in this case, as it does not occur with all apps and only occurs after I power cycle once. To fix the problem, I have decided to reinstall the offending OS, and replace it with a fresh version of RH9.0B, because I am sick of this problem now, as I rely on my computer for work.So I will then quickly discover if the problem is due to a memory error or not... However, I'd be very interested to hear if anyone else has had any similar problems or experiences, and some idea of what the problem might be... -- Stephen CS Howe <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
