I've finally narrowed down some really bad system freezes/crashes to my smbd logs, particularly log.smbd.old. For some reason, the smbd log grows to several gigs overnight periodically, fills my hard drive, and crashes the system. Any ideas on how to stop this from happening? I'd like to keep...

Register me! Me! Register!

Yeah, I definitely have that problem (that's why I'm booted into OS 9 at the moment...). On MacFixIt.com today, it is mentioned that a lot of fonts (esp. Postscript fonts) in the MacOS 9 folder might be a cause. I haven't tried moving any out yet, but that's something to try...

yup, my Que! shows up in the system profiler... maybe you've got a bad cable or something.... although, if it shows up in 9.2.1, that's kinda weird... do you have it plugged into the native firewire, or a firewire card?

I've got a Firewire Que! (8x4x32, i think...) which OS 10.1 (and even iTunes in 10.0.4) recognizes, but it has some problems... I haven't tried burning any Data CDs in 10.1 (although, when I put in a blank CD, it does ask to "prepare" it for me for burning), but I haven't been able to get...

... I picked mine up at MacEntusiasts (on Pico near Westwood) at almost 4pm today... btw: they're a great Mac store/repair shop if you ever need anything... not the best prices, but good service :) --Greg

Actually, DiskWarrior seems to work just fine on an OS X drive.... I wouldn't run it in OS X, but if you boot from an OS 9 drive (or the CD), it works fine. In fact, it has already saved my drive twice after various crashes rendered it unbootable... --Greg

thanks! it seems to install fine ("make install" doesn't come up with any errors), but anytime i try to run configure for any gtk+ program, it says it can't run the GTK test program... any ideas? --Greg

okay, i\\\'ve got gtk+-1.2.8, ran the configure without any hitches, but in doing the make, i get this: gdkwindow.c:1295: bad macro argument list repeated 4 times and then gdkwindow.c:1301: bad macro argument list repeated 3 times then make[2]: *** [gdkwindow.lo] Error 1 make[1]: ***...

i\'ve found that that archive seems to be corrupted (i get errors when running gnutar on it), so i also downloaded the glib-1.2.8.tgz from ftp://gnu-darwin.sourceforge.net/pub/gnu-darwin/ i ran gnutar on both of them, and copied the contents from the darwinfo distribution into the sourceforge...

What file(s) contain the setting for the keyboard layout in the OS X command line? I want to change to the Dvorak keyboard layout when using the CLI, which works with the GUI translating for the CLI, but no when I login straight to the console... thanks, greg
