Re: freeamp linux freezes machine
[Again, sorry for not responding sooner] Twice now, I have gone into change the theme, and upon hitting OK, the theme partially appears and then the machine [appears to] hang completely. I can telnet into the box, and X doesn't seem to be running, nor do any of the apps I had running under X. However, back at the box, all keyboard and mouse input is completely ignored. I end up having to 'reboot' from the telnet connection. FYI: You don't need to reboot -- if Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't kill the X, then simply su to root and kill the X process. That should get you back to a login. This is bad. I am not sure what I can do to help track this down What version of GTK and Glib are you running? How about glibc? I would first upgrade GTK and Glib to 1.2.6 and take it from there. (suggestions are welcome), but if it continues I will have to stop testing, I can't afford to have my machine go down like that (various servers running on it). Is this still happening with the 2.0 release? I know that Elrod cleaned up a crash in the options dialog, and I hope that fixed it. --ruaok Freezerburn!

If I telnet in, su to root, and do a 'ps aux', X does not show up, nor do any of the processes I was running in X at the time. It is very strange. Is this still happening with the 2.0 release? I know that Elrod cleaned up a crash in the options dialog, and I hope that fixed it. It was happening in the cvs source from a few days ago. I updated last night and built, and was playing with it for a while and it did not hang. I will play some more tonight. rjf ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.freeamp.org/mailman/listinfo/freeamp-dev

That's quite cool -- so it seems that the X server dies and the system does not recover. Have you tried starting X again without rebooting? It was happening in the cvs source from a few days ago.
