Hi, Here is the problem. I have IC5.033 running on RH8.0. Today, when i typed icfb at the command prompt, I got the CIW open, but it hanged very soon after displaying the message of the number of color bits that I use. It hanged and no signs of life although Linux became very slow when I tried to do other things with it. I waited for 10 min but nothing changed. Whatever I see in CIW is also written in CDS.log and nothing more. It behaves the same way if I start icfb from another account. The installation uses 24 bit color and nothing has been installed recently on that machine. If I try to start the Library manager for example I get the following message: cdsServIpc: ipcIsAliveProcess connection timeout Waiting for ipc:0 to initialize Waiting for ipc:0 to initialize So, I really don't know what is happening. Interesting thing is that everything worked perfectly up until yesterday. Can someone give any hints? Or at least what can be done to see what is going on? Thanks
