Fedora Core 1 compatability?

Beach · Post by **Beach** » Fri Dec 03, 2004 11:54 pm

I created a small application for a client that has a server running Fedora Core 1. My app's main window has a couple of text gadget that should get updated with last run time and status (which is set in a process that is running in a thread) but this does not happen.

The application was compiled on Gentoo and works perfectly there (and on my Mandrake 9 server), however, on his server it does not update any of the gadgets. In fact, it appears to be locked up - but it is running because the process is doing its job in the background. If you drag the app window off the screen (like under the task bar) then some gadgets disappear completely.

I have also tried to compile the application on his server thinking this might help but it did not. The results are the same.

Are there some distros that just do to not play well with PB apps?

Could be... I think it has something to do with the thread. I also had it working on Mandrake but it did the same thing after leaving it running for a while (missing text fields, disappearing buttons, etc..) I will rework the app later on without the thread.

If you could get more informations about this problem, it would be cool as it sounds strange to me than the application launch (so all commands from external libraries like GTK are found) but doesn't work correctly.

Thanks Fred, I reworked the app minus the thread and it cleared up the problem. I will try to redo what I had later on this weekend and post it.
