i know, i have mentioned this before, but i am still having problems.
anytime i open a terminal (xterm, gnome-terminal, etc.) from within X,
the computer completely locks up and i have to hit reset. if i start
the terminal from a virtual terminal (alt+F2) then it runs fine. i am
running mandrake 6.1. i didnt have this problem with 6.0. i have
reinstalled several packages that seem to be affected, but no luck. it
seems like there is a software problem outside of the affected programs
that might be causing this. anyone know how i can track down this
problem? it is hindering some of my work in linux. please pass the
slightest bit of info!
thanks!
:P
ps - is there a quick way to reinstall all of the currently installed
packages from the cdrom? i would like to avoid redoing a fresh install.
