RE: [SLE] SuSE 8.1 broken? Kylix 3-issue
Andre, It seems to be [at least] the 'Project open' & 'Project Save [As]'- dialogues that tend to hang, so that is the process you have to kill, and therefore the dialogue will disappear. It does both with C++ and the Delphi separately, and, don't want to disappoint you but... unfortunately it does not seem to go away after one or two kicks - it will occasionally come back. I hope that this problem doesn't follow into applications created by Kylix C++/Delphi. I do not know, but I would be surprised if Kylix was written in something else than [Kylix] C++ and not using the same libraries. Most of my applications use file I/O, but right now I haven't had time to test (been busy with a Delphi-MySQL app on Windoz... :-o ) /Henrik w/ SuSE since 6.2 w/ Borland since Turbo Pascal 3.0 -----Original Message----- From: Andre Truter [mailto:andre.truter@intekom.co.za] Sent: 14. joulukuuta 2002 9:34 To: Dragan Stancevic Cc: Hahnsson Henrik; SUSE Subject: Re: [SLE] SuSE 8.1 broken?

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.
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.

Andre, there is a fix to this problem (temp. fix that is). Its on the borland code central site, or I can email it to you if you like. Peter. On Mon, 16 Dec 2002 06:45 pm, Hahnsson Henrik wrote:
