You can look in the VenueClient.log file for an indication of what went wrong. You might be able to determine the source of the text failure by looking in the log. Since the client locked up trying to enter another venue, that problem may not be reflected in the log.
Of course, if the log isn't all that helpful to you, you can send it along for me (and others) to look at. I'd be happy to answer any questions that will help you get the software working properly on Debian. Tom Gavin W. Burris aka 86 wrote: That fixed it. I can even fire up: $ VenueClient.py --personalNode That lets me import my certificate and into the lobby. But then I can't see text I type into the chat window and it locks when I try and navigate to another venue. Any tips for me on debugging? Thomas D.

We've been using gpt3.0.1, which is the version included in the gt3.0.2 source installer ( http://www-unix.globus.org/ftppub/gt3/3.0/3.0.2/gt3.0.2-source-installer.tar.gz ). You can also get gpt from http://www.gridpackagingtools.org . I need to update the linux build howto document to reflect the details of the new build process, to facilitate packaging for other distros I'll let you know when that's done. Meanwhile, let me know if you have any questions. Tom Gavin W.
