Sitsofe, That was it. It was me not waiting long enough. While technically not a bug, it is very unusual to see an application window and no data (for like 20-40 seconds). It sure would be great to see some kind of "working" message. I ran the command you gave me and there were no error messages. The response was lots of info and then "Dumped 49 devices..." Re: Your comment to Chip. There is some kind of disconnect between this program and other parts of the OS. For example, this information is recorded in /var/log/dmesg "[4294667.605000] CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.60GHz stepping 02" but in the device manager, it lists "unknown" as the processor manufacurer and type. thanks for you help, -- http://kimbriggs.com -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
