[Cooker] Problem with Xchat?
I am running Mandrake 9.0 with Xchat (1.8.9). I have it both on my Dell Latitude desktop and my home computer (Athlon XP 1800+) Neither box is running cooker, so I am ready for the flames about which list to use, but I am looking for someone that can possibly duplicate the error. Who better than the people that make my OS of choice? =) Anyway... when running xchat (under Gnome 2) if I open an gnome-terminal, su -, and do an rpm -Uhv or a urpmi --auto, xchat core dumps. It has done it on both platforms. If anyone can duplicate this, or if I can provide the core file to anyone, please let me know, I will take it off list. Thanks, Patrick

I can verify this. Happens to me also. I also find that
gnome-terminal gobbles up a lot of CPU (and as a result, so does X), so
I'll find myself occassionally stuck until I can manage to CTRL-ALT-F1,
log in, and kill gnome-terminal. After a few minutes, X settles down
as well. This happens *very* sporadically tho, but I've noticed that
upgrading packages does seem to trigger it, although I don't know why.
I've got transparent backgrounds in gnome-terminal, and I thought that
might have been the cause, but it still happens with the standard
background as well.
I haven't had an opportunity to dig into it further, but I do find it
really frustrating as I don't want to use any other terminals (now that
I've gotten spoiled with the tabbed terminals, I don't want to go back
to having five terms open at the same time).

Re: [Cooker] Problem with Xchat?
In my configuration, no. Nothing else core dumps. I too am using gnome-terminal with a transparent background. Also, xchat is running with transparent windows. I will test without each of those features. thanks for the confirmation and test ideas!

Not that I've noticed... galeon runs and never skips a beat, same with
gkrellm. vmware, no problem. Those are about the only apps I have
open regularly.
