Need some help on IC5.033

    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

    Sounds like icfb is waiting for another program to start up. Try
    renaming your .cdsinit and other initialization files to see if that
    fixes anything.


    Try strace -p `pgrep icfb`. It's a start. If you don't get any useful
    info out of it, you may have to hack up the icfb script to launch
    icfb through strace so that you can find out which program is causing
    the wait.

    These are sort of general debugging methods.
