An especially raw rawhide?
Running rawhide on my primary desktop for the last few years has always
been good for a surprise or two. It's part of the fun. But I'm
curious: is it just me, or is the experience a bit more rawer than usual
at the moment?
- nmh has some sort of locking trouble - commands just hang to the
point that only kill -9 will get rid of them. Local ext3 filesystem,
no NFS nastiness involved. Running the commands as root works. But
who wants to run MH as root?
- /tmp gets filled with tmprules-N.dat files. A bit of searching
points the finger at thunderbird on this one.
- X clients occasionally just exit, seemingly losing their connection
to the server. For whatever reason, panel applets (and the panel
itself) seem especially prone to this one.
- Sound doesn't work - all the files in /dev/snd are set to root-only
permissions. Looks like maybe the pulseaudio transition is stuck
partway?
So am I alone in all this?
Thanks,
jon
