i can confirm this is irritating. the msgs window opens up and a pop-up from the systray pops up. i close the msgs window. a few seconds it tries again. definitely we need a "don't retry on fail" option, or better yet, a "retry on fail" option. and the msgs window can't be closed when the setup window is open. james. > > -- > FA > > O tu, che porte, correndo si ? > E guerra e morte ! > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-dev mailing list > Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev > _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
