Using the -debuginfo is of little help, as no error is taking place, or can I make it log something ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Programmer <casualprogrammer@yahoo.com> 2007-08-13 15:13:47 MST --- Well, I suspect it has to do with setting up the installation with LDAP users. With the latest "clean" install I ran into some weird problems when no local user, but only LDAP users ( my usual setup ) are configured. After doing the umpteenth "clean" install from beta1 DVD, I decided to leave the LDAP stuff alone for the moment. Having only local users seems to solve( rather avoid ) some of the problems I keep experiencing. Presently taking a screenshot works nicely. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
