This is a really strange problem that even I don't believe;)
I have 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #22: Fri Sep 23 05:39:20 CDT 2005
skype-1.2.0.11
kde-3.4.2
And when I start skype I get a hard lock. No console message, no log
messages, nothing. I have to turn it off and back on.
The strange part involves the work arounds that are independient of one
another that I have found:
Kernel compiled prior to around Sept. 9 works fine, zero problems with kde.
Current Kernel and using xdm in place of kde, works fine.
Now I try to keep my box clean of old libraries and did a portupgrade
-Rruf of skype and kde with no changes and even that doesn't explain
why an older kernel would work unless I had some old libraries around,
I would assume and the working kernels aren't that old.
To make it even more unusual I have 4 other machines showing the same
symptoms. They are all AMD 32 bit w/ different motherboards and from
256M to 2M in memory. I don't have anything with an intel chip to test
on.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, I have no idea where else
to look.
Thanks,
ed
