Problem with Ubuntu 9.04

Postby tomnick » Thu May 21, 2009 5:27 am

Hi everybody,

got newsbin installed on ubuntu 9.04, Wine 1.0.1, NB 5.53. Everything works fine for about 5 minutes and then NB freezes. Any idea what could be wrong or anybody experienced the same problem?

Thanks for help

Tom

If you google, you'll find a number of instances of those versions of wine ubuntu freezing on one form or another. I'd hunt those down for starters. Unfortunately it seems quite recent, haven't noticed any solutions so far.

One thing to try is to run from the command line - see if anything interesting comes up when it locks up. I'm suspecting not, however.
