Hi, I was happy to finally get my hands on Axiom after nearly 20 years. So, I was overjoyed that Ubuntu 9.10 had a ready-to-go package.
However, there is a cloud over paradise. Open Axiom fails to properly initialise.
The hardware is Intel Quad Core CPU, the OS is Ubuntu 9.10 AMD 64. I keep the CPU microcode up-to-date. Appended is the rather cryptic output I captured. I would certainly appreciate some help.
