Hi Bob, This happened to me in the last day or so, I /think/ because an update to the updater system was applied the night before. I got it working again, as follows: -> right-clicked the "orb" and quit it -> opened a shell and su'd to root -> ran an 'rczmd status' (returned "dead") -> ran 'rczmd restart' -> ran an 'rczmd status' (returned "running") -> launched the "orb" again from the menu via "System > Configuration > Update Software" I think I had to repeat this sequence twice, for unknown reasons, for it to 'stick' in running mode. hth & regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
