Gaim problem as user, as root works fine

i've been running gaim for just about forever without any troubles, but today i ran into one. i turned on my computer, signed on gaim just fine, then i went to remove a person from my block list but it crashed the program. i did nothing after that, no changes, but went to just start gaim again and it appears to sign online but then before the buddylist can even show up it all goes away and shuts the application down. here is what it is telling me when i ran it from the command line:
[brian@schi6068dap ~]$ gaim
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x083470c8 ***
Aborted
the signon window comes up, i type in my password, then it shows the progress bar and then once it gets all the way, everything completely disappears.
now if i run as root and open gaim from the command line, it works just fine. can someone help me out?

I had the same problem after performing a sysupgrade. Moving the .gaim directory worked, thanks.

  • Problem displaying link in Firefox, works fine in IE.

    I just noticed a problem yesterday after a customer called and said that they weren't able to view the 24 volt computer link on our website.  So I went can check with Firefox and it won't display when I never used to have any problems with Firefox.  I tried in IE and it worked fine.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  The website is www.lamppakuuma.com and the link that won't display is http://lamppakuuma.com/24%20Volt%20Computer.html.  It is under our furnace section.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated because this is my 1st website design and it used to work correctly.
    Thank you,

    Just giving a link isn't any good to anyone, no-one can see a link unless they start clicking on everything on the page.  Can you tell us what words/image to click on?

  • If I add a cas array to an existing setup, will users continue to work fine until their settings are updated?

    I have an existing Exchange setup that never had a CAS array added, I would like to add one and realise the Outlook clients won't pick up the new settings automatically.
    But if I add one now, will the Outlooks continue to work fine with their old settings until they are updated to use the new array?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    In addition to above suggestion, I would like to clarify the following thing:
    Once you set the CAS Array FQDN as the RPCClientAccessServer on the mailbox databases with Set-MailboxDatabase, Outlook users will need to create new Outlook profiles or "repair" their profiles to find the CAS Array. However, they will continue to work even
    if you don't do that, those Outlook clients will just continue to connect to the single CAS instead of the CAS Array endpoint.
    Hope it helps.
    Best regards,

  • Acrobat 8 problems one user opening hyperlinks, works on admin account

    Hi,
    I have a user that has trouble opening hyperlinks on Adobe Pro 8. I can open hyperlinks fine when running as admin account and in FoxItReader as the user. I've also mirrored the settings of the admin account for Adobe Pro 8 with the user's settings for Adobe Pro 8 and it still doesn't work. Any idea on what's going on? I've also added full control permissions for the user to the Adobe folder in Program Files. Thanks for any help.

    Hi,
    I've tried doing that and nothing is in the Blocked list. My settings are:
    1. Let me specify a list of allowed and blocked web sites
    2. nothing in the list of My Websites
    3. Always Ask, for Default behavior for web sites that are not in the above list
    I've checked out many other sites looking for an answer to this problem but nothing would work. I figured I might as well see if there's anything else that I can do. Thanks for the help.

  • Firefox having problem with farmville where safari works fine

    I've been working with Farmville support to no avail. They finally told me to try another browser so I tried Safari and guess what...everything works great! So the problem:
    When I try to give a gift in Farmville certain lists of people do not ever load on my screen. I can provide an attachment of what it looks like in Safari and what it looks like in Firefox. I think it might have used to have worked prior to my installing the firefox beta which I had to remove because it was not compatible with too many of my sites. It is interesting that this functionality works ok usually on farmville.com but not on farmville on facebook.

    Take the plastic protective sheet off the back of the iPhone.
    The plastic is diffusing the flash so that it shines directly back into the lens washing out the picture.
    Also if you have not removed the plastic protective sheet from the front, you want to do that as well, since the front sheet covers the microphone as ear speaker making it difficult to hear.

  • TreeCellRendering problem in linux... works fine in windows

    Hi,
    Can somebody point out what I am doing wrong here? I have a JTree with to
    which I add DefaultMutableTreeNodes nodes as below:
    DefaultMutableTreeNode dnNode = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(new
    NodeRecord());
    In order to customize the look of the JTree nodes, I have overridden the
    DefaultTreeCellRendereras below:
    class MyTerminalEndpointsRenderer extends DefaultTreeCellRenderer
    ImageIcon nodeIcon;
    public MyTerminalEndpointsRenderer() {
    nodeIcon = new ImageIcon("images/middle.gif");
    public Component getTreeCellRendererComponent( JTree tree, Object value,
    boolean sel,
    boolean expanded, boolean leaf, int row,
    boolean hasFocus)
    super.getTreeCellRendererComponent(tree, value, sel, expanded,
    leaf, row, hasFocus);
    if(leaf)
    DefaultMutableTreeNode node = (DefaultMutableTreeNode)value;
    NodeRecord nodeInfo = (NodeRecord)(node.getUserObject());
    <------- Throws exception
    return this;
    However, when I try to cast the UserObject returned by node to a NodeRecord
    type of object it throws a class cast exception although I had used a
    NodeRecord object to create the tree node. I have the details of the
    exception thrown below. Hopefully someone can see the bug I have here and
    bail me out.
    The exception thrown is:
    java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String

    Before casting check the type of the object with instanceof. And use an else leaf where you do a System.out with the name of the class that would have been casted.

  • I have a MAC running 10.6. I cant get firefox to connect to the internet unless I first open Safari and connect. Firefox works fine after that. This is a new problem on my machine How do I correct for this?

    When I boot my Mac (Snowleapord 10.6) and attempt to start Firefox, the system alerts me that it cannot find the internet and requests that I try again. It is not until I start Safari, establish a connection that I can get firefox to work. This is a new problem. Until recently, things worked fine. How do I resolve this issue?

    Same proble here, although the Firefox system requirements says it is OK to have PowerPC G3 G4 or G5 ( I have G5 2GHZ)
    My solution; very simply use timemachine to restore the previous Frefox 3.x
    worked great in 3 mns

  • Mount -o users doesn't work as intended, why not?

    I'm trying to modify some of the udev rules in the Arch wiki to work better for my setup. So I have this as /etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules:
    BUS!=usb, KERNEL!="sd[a-z]*", GOTO="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
    # Import FS infos
    IMPORT{program}="/sbin/blkid -o udev -p %N"
    # Get a label if present, otherwise specify one
    ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}!="", ENV{dir_name}="%E{ID_FS_LABEL}"
    ENV{ID_FS_LABEL}=="", ENV{dir_name}="usbhd-%k"
    # Global mount options
    ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="noatime,users"
    # Filesystem-specific mount options
    ACTION=="add", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="vfat|ntfs", ENV{mount_options}="$env{mount_options},utf8,gid=100,umask=002"
    # Mount the device
    ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/mkdir -p /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/mount -o $env{mount_options} /dev/%k /media/%E{dir_name}"
    # Clean up after removal
    ACTION=="remove", ENV{dir_name}!="", RUN+="/bin/umount -l /media/%E{dir_name}", RUN+="/bin/rmdir /media/%E{dir_name}"
    # Exit
    LABEL="media_by_label_auto_mount_end"
    And it mounts usb sticks just fine. Problem is, I still get a permission denied error when trying to unmount them, despite using the "users" mount option, which is supposed to let *any* user unmount the device.
    So I tried mounting the stick manually with the users option...
    # mount -o users /dev/sdb /mnt
    And still got the error on trying to unmount it:
    $ umount /dev/sdb
    umount: /dev/sdb is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
    So it looks like the users option is not working the way the fstab man page says it should. What am I doing wrong here?
    Edit: the users mount option works fine for CDs. Is there a way to make it work for USB sticks, or am I just stuck?

    Thanks... Kind of strange, that. Is there a way to use pmount and give unmount permissions for all users, so that I don't have to do the silly mount-as-a-specific-user thing?
    Edit: Oh N/M, just unmounting with pumount works great. Thanks!

  • With 10.2 I can only use system speaker output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps. How can I set this device in FCP 10.2? (it is set in both system preferences and midi)

    With 10.2 I can only use a system (e.g. speaker) output for audio, NOT my RME FF400 I used without any problems previously. The FF400 works fine with other apps (some like TwistedWave) setup in the program, and others (like Spotify) using system preferences & audio midi setup. How can I set the FF400 to be the sound output device in FCP 10.2? N.B. The FF400 is set as sound output device in both system preferences and audio midi setup.

    From the fcp.co forum. See if this does anything for you.

    I have the solution! Well it at least worked for me. This is the response I got from Apple, Can you please try the following steps towards fixing your audio issue, and report back with your results?
    1. Open the application Audio Midi Setup (located in Applications : Utilities)
    2. Select the Output Tab for the current output device
    3. Select the Configure Speakers option
    4. Select the Multichannel tab
    5. Change the setting to Stereo Now mine was set to stereo but the left channel wasn't showing left. re-clicking on stereo reloaded the settings and after clicking apply it worked. 

  • Right shift and c not working, Left shift and c works fine for a capital c

     I have a Lenovo G560 laptop. Had this problem once before and computer tech fixed problem, but moved cities. Worked fine but recently had a windows update. Now when I press the right shift key and c nothing happens. Left shift and c displays a capital c. How do I restore the right shift c ?

    hi richiestac,
    You can try to remap the Right Shift Key so that it will function as Left Shift using Sharpkeys.
    To do this:
    1. Download and install Sharpkeys
    2. Open Sharpkeys, click on Add and on the Map this key (From Key) , select the Right Shift key, then on the To this key (To key), select the Left Shift key.
      - Link to picture
    3. When finished, click Write to Registry and reboot.
    As for the display driver installation, you need to uninstall first any signs of Intel HD Graphics from the Control Panel (Icon View) > Programs and Features. After that, open Device Manager > Display Adapters and uninstall the Intel Graphics (ensure you put a check on Delete the driver software for this device and try to re-install the Intel Onboard Graphics Driver.
    Alternatively, you can skip all the procedures above and just press the OneKey Recovery button to restore the system to factory settings (note that all data will be wiped on the OS partition).

  • Ibook g4 cant turn on with charger, but works fine with battery

    i have a ibook g4 cant turn on with charger.
    using battery, ibook works fine-----so not the battery problem
    charger works fine on other ibook-----so not the charger problem
    the DC-in board works fine on other ibook-----so not the DC-in problem
    reset the PMU----no work.
    when the battery is on ibook, plug in the charger, light is green, but will not charge the battery. in OS X it shows running on battery. if run out off battery, will turn off.
    if took off the battery, and plug the charger, cant turn on; and light is dark.
    any idea?
    PMU chip is broken? how can i change the PMU?
    thanks a lot

    you are holding Shift-Control-Option-Power correct?
    To replace the PMU requires a new / refurb logic board.

  • Edit will not open in Elements 12, organiser works fine

    I Have just purchased Elements 12 and installed it on a laptop running Windows 7.  It appeared to install without problems and the organiser section works fine, but the editor section will not open.  I have changed the 'opening page' to all 3 different choices but the editor section will not open.  Please advise what I can check to try to find the problem, including me!

    Thank you for your advice, I have followed your instructions and SLCache and SLStore are now shown on the Desktop.
    I then launched Elements from the icon on the desktop and the following message displayed:
    Please uninstall and reinstall the product.
    If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
    Error: 16
    http://www.adobe.com/support/
    I have not uninstalled and reinstalled as I have done this previously and presumable it would put SLCache and SLStore back to their original location.
    Have you any further suggestions?
    Regards
    Don
