Yet another problem in the new install saga - thankfully I have a mostly useable machine now. This issue hasn't been a high priority on the list - until now. Mplayer won't run and I can't entertain myself :) Actually, its a bit more serious than that as I need it for work, and several other related tools use it too. After install I ran umplayer and it gave me nothing; so I ran mplayer at the cli and it did nothing - and I mean absolutely nothing. Even with -vvvv there is not a spot of output after the command is entered. So I ran truss, and didn't see anything useful there either. Then I looked at top to see if it was burning the cpu at all - nope. All I see is mplayer in a urdlck condition. Googling this points to an issue in 10 with posix compatibility and to avoid it in the application programming. Some ssh problems too. Any ideas what could be wrong? Or how to diagnose? Cheers
