Knode won't quit
Hi, I originally posted this on a KDE list but the only response I got was that someone else had duplicated the problem. He was also running 9.2 Pro so I thought maybe it's a SuSE thing.... Here's the problem. When I exit Knode the window goes away and all appears normal. However there is still a Knode process running so the next time I try to read news the program won't start. I have to find the process and kill it and then, of course, all is well again. It's SuSE 9.2 Pro, KDE 3.3.0, Knode 0.8.0 on a P4. Ideas on what's wrong? Or even how to further diagnose this? -- Frank Holt University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee I&MT Technical Services Senior Dept. of Technical Solutions Phone : (414) 229-2982 Fax : (414) 229-6389 e-mail: frankh@uwm.edu

Frank, When you say "quit" it, how do you mean. If you are just closing the window with the close gadget in the upper right corner, then you are not quiting the program. Most KDE programs don't quit like that anymore. You must go to the menu to select quit or use ctrl-q to close it down. Not sure why things are setup that way, but if you check you'll see many are like that. Not sure if you can change that in your knode settings or if there is any need, because ctrl-q works just as easily. If you are quiting the program correctly, then it may be that an extra process is starting up. You aren't double clicking on the icon are you? You can always check for the process with ctrl-esc which brings up ksysguard to show all your running processes. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.8 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "He's not my brother, he's just heavy." ........Bucky Katt

That's the first of heard of that. Also, it's intermittent. It'll work well for a while, then the problem reoccurs, where it won't start again, until you kill the previous one.

I've quit both ways but there is no difference. There is only one process running and no double clicking involved.

It's a well known problem. Don't know about a fix though.

It can't be that well known if I haven't heard of it ;-) Oh well, maybe I'll just leave it running. It's not a big deal.
