------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-02-08 16:43 ------- I have managed to get it working: 1) Alter the xindetd.d/fam properties as mentioned above. 2) In first terminal window (as root) manually start 'fam -d -v' 3) In second terminal window (as user) start gnome-theme-manager 4) In first terminal window, after fam spews out lots of 'can't lstat/chdir' messages, kill fam with a ctrl-C. 5) Remarkably, the theme manager starts (and works with whatever themes are available). Subsequent starts of gnome-theme-manager work (after spewing out lots of 'FAMOpen failed, FAMErrno=0' messages). ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: Even after confirming portmap/xinetd aren't blocked, it's still a no-go for g-t-m. I suspect this has something to do with fam, since if I stopped xinetd (thus stopping fam), g-t-m starts perfectly (with tons of FAMOpen error mesg). strace log is attached. It just hangs there when doing the last write(), until I interrupt it with Ctrl-C. Sounds like it was trying to write to a non-operational socket. At this point, the connection to fam/portmap was already terminated (according to the output of netstat).
