Hubbard" Subject: Re: netscape 2.0b2 In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Here are some Netscape 2.0b2 bugs that seem directly related to the BSDI version and/or FreeBSD's BSDI compatibility mode. Is anyone else having these problems? 1) Whenever I start 2.0b2, I get the message: "Netscape has detected a /home/jehamby/.netscape/lock file. This may indicate that another user is running Netscape using your /home/jehamby/.netscape files. You may continue to use Netscape, but you will be unable to use the disk cache, global history, or your personal certificates." The odd thing is that there is NO lock file in my .netscape directory and I even deleted the entire .netscape directory with no change. Also odd is that I can still edit my bookmarks and entries are being added to the disk cache even though the message says that this is impossible. This did not happen in 2.0b1 by the way... 2) When I run Netscape 2.0b2, I am getting messages echoed to console from syslog: Nov 6 19:50:56 buk syslog: /etc/pwd.db: Invalid argument Nov 6 19:50:56 buk last message repeated 7 times Again, this sounds like a FreeBSD->BSDI mapping problem. Does anyone have an answer for either of these? I also reported the first problem (as it is more severe, and less likely to be FreeBSD's fault) to Netscape. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jake Hamby | E-Mail: jehamby@lightside.com Student, Cal Poly University, Pomona | System Administrator, JPL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
