I said "where", not "what". 8) Please send problem reports with the Linux emulation to emulation@freebsd.org (I've asked you to do this before...) > after staroffice 4 has been running for a few seconds it locks up and i do > a ipcs and see all my shared segments are used up. Do you have sound support of some sort enabled? I'm not seeing similar problems here. Try removing the SYSV_SHM option from your kernel - there are some fundamental problems to do with the differing layouts of shared memory segments. > this also happens with x11amp after every song it plays, it looses a > segment every time a new song is loaded. Turn it off, definitely. It's not actually very useful. 8) > also linux programs attempting to use raw sockets don't seem to work > anymore. all this "breakage" (for me) seems to have occured about a month > or so ago. This is a completely useless problem report. How about suggesting an application, mentioning where it can be obtained, how you installed it, and explicit steps to reproduce the problem. If you don't, we're not going to try to read your brain, or wander around trying to guess what it is you're talking about - we're going to delete your messages and go on to something that we have some hope of dealing with. In short - the lack of action on the problems you're talking about can be directly traced to the poor quality of your problem reports. If you're willing to participate just a little more in the resolution process, you might be amazed at how much faster things get fixed. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
