RE: [SLE] SuSE 8.1 broken? Kylix 3-issue
except for Kylix3 - which is why I wanted 8.1 Jumping off the [original] topic slightly... I'm using Kylix 3 OE. When I try to: - Open Project - Save Project As... The application hangs. Have to Kill it. Kylix installed as a server installation, with the license file in the users home directory. The same happens on both my desktop and my Laptop.

Have to earn a little money at the moment, so I can't switch back over as yet, but that sounds like one of the 'niggles' that I am trying to get round. I want the C++ IDE as all my stuff comes from Builder, but I am lead to believe that the 'niggles' left are no worse than the faults that still exist in the windows versions, so we just live with buggy software that we have to pay an arm and a leg for <g> I find the free stuff much more stable! -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services
Hi, I noticed your post a while back but haven't had a chance to respond. Too busy. Shortly I am glad that some people had problem free experience with SuSE 8.1, I am happy for them. I do hope that some of the SuSE developers are watching this list, but still I will submit my problems trough the feedback form. As far as the Kylix issue, I wrote a kylix 3.0 review for linux journal about a month ago. I think it should be printed in the January issue. I mention exactly that issue too. Since I don't want you to wait till than to get this info here is a summary. I haven't had a chance to toy around with the problem much but as I describe in the article one way to mitigate that problem is to run a "ps" on your system when kylix freezes. Than attach with "strace -p" to the only kylix process that is in a R state. Than watch kylix come back to life. I reported this issue to Borland a while back and got a ticket number but I never received any response as if either me or the problem existed. Afterall maybe we don't :-) Hope this helps. Just so you know, since I am terribly busy I am not sure when will I have more time to read this mailing list again. Anyway good luck :-) -- Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment. -Dr. Nikola Tesla

I also have Kylix 3 OE installed on SuSE 8.1 and I have the same problem as Hahnsson. Unfortunately this method of reviving Kylix does not work for me. When I do ps -efl | grep kylix, none of the processes are in the 'R' state. andre@obelix:/usr/local/bin> ps -efl | grep kylix 000 S andre 1881 1860 2 85 0 - 18073 rt_sig 08:57 ? 00:00:02 /usr/local/kylix3/bin/bcblin 002 S andre 1884 1881 0 75 0 - 18073 schedu 08:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/kylix3/bin/bcblin 002 S andre 1885 1884 9 75 0 - 18073 schedu 08:57 ? 00:00:10 /usr/local/kylix3/bin/bcblin 002 S andre 1886 1884 0 75 0 - 18073 schedu 08:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/kylix3/bin/bcblin 002 S andre 1887 1884 0 75 0 - 18073 schedu 08:57 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/kylix3/bin/bcblin 002 S andre 1888 1884 0 75 0 - 18073 schedu 08:58 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/kylix3/bin/bcblin 000 S andre 1931 1749 0 80 0 - 406 pipe_w 08:59 pts/2 00:00:00 grep kylix I tried strace on all of the processes, but none of them have any effect on Kylix.

I have played around a bit more. Up to now I have only tried Kylix C++. Now I tried the same thing with Kylix Delphi. It had no problems, open a preject with no hangs. Then I started Kylix C++ while delphi is running, tried to open a project and it hangs. ps did show one process that is in 'R' state. I straced it and after a while BCB came back to life, but the file select dialogue was gone. I tried to opena project again. This time it worked. I closed down all Kylix IDE's and fired up BCB again. This time it all worded fine. Looks like you need to revive one of them onece and then it works after that.

I opened a ticket for this issue long time ago: http://support.borland.com/webcustomer/clearexx_cgi/x_Site_Open_Bug.htm I have never received any co/information from Borland on the ticket. I am wondering if they are actually reading those tickets. I assume if more people report it than it would make them deal with it. -- Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment. -Dr. Nikola Tesla
