Recent Windows refugee on Ubuntu Feisty. Pan 1.2 ran fine for a few
weeks, then yesterday unexpectedly closed without any warning in the
middle of a batch retrieval, and I haven't been able to re-start Pan
from the Applications menu since. Clicking on the launch icon gets no
response, no error message.
I've tried:
1. Uninstalling & re-installing from Add/Remove
2. Re-installing over using Synaptic Package Manager
I found out that I could start Pan from the Root Terminal, which started
without the newsgroup server or newsgroups list (probably removed when
I did the above.) Pan runs normally started from the Root Terminal, but
I still can't start it from the Applications menu launch icon. I looked
through System, Administration, Users & Groups, Manage Groups but wasn't
able to find any setting that appeared to affect user permissions for
the Applications menu items.
Oops, upon closing Pan, the following message was in the Root Terminal
console. Have no idea what it means, or if it's related to my complaint.
(pan:11844): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_text_layout_get_iter_location:
assertion `GTK_IS_TEXT_LAYOUT (layout)' failed

(The computer name btw is just my motherboard model.)
Would appreciate any suggestions. If possible phrase your instructions
for a former intermediate Windows user, rank Linux newbie (2 months.)
Thanks! -- rtimai
