Hi Andrew, With the FC1 AccessGrid-2.3-5.i386.rpm and AccessGrid-2.3-6.i386.rpm, I forgot to increase the version number in AudioService.svc (located in AudioService.zip), if it's not increased, then the contents of the following folder don't get replaced with a newer version of rat: ~/.AccessGrid/local_services/AudioService
[I did remeber to increase the version number with the FC2 AudioService.zip] So, you could do the following (but make sure AGServiceManager.py is not running) : rm -rf ~/.AccessGrid/local_services/AudioService Restart the ServiceManager and a new AudioService will get unpacked the first time AudioService is used. The rat that comes with AccessGrid-2.3-5 and later was rebuilt with gcc-2.9.6 (instead of gcc 3.x), which seemed to fix the problem of the rat GUI not coming up in some situations. Also rat now has alsa lib statically linked, so I could remove the alsa-lib RPM dependency. Recently Steve Smith cleaned up and fixed some of the rat souce code (see "Big Linux fixup patch" thread in ag-tech mailing list). I've rebuilt rat with Steve's patches, if you want to try it, download: http://www.itee.uq.edu.au/~agn/ag_fedora/FC1/stable/patches/AudioService.zip to replace: /etc/AccessGrid/NodeServices/AudioService.zip It should automatically get unpacked as I've increased the version number in AudioService.svc. > I put AG 2.3 (from the UQ FC1 rpms) on a desktop running RedHat 9.
