Description gsr.bugs 2000-07-13 23:03:10 UTC
When I try to launch Netscape (6.2 one, or 4.73 new RPMs) it launchs, two 
processes appear in top, but nothing more, no windows, no alerts, just the 
processes doing nothing, and I have to kill them.

As temporal workarround, I installed the kernel from a 6.1, that allows
Netscape to be launched. BTW, the kernels are for 686, not K7 specific. I 
did not tried with 586 or 386 packages.

The machine is a K7, Asus K7M MoBo with upgraded BIOS. The rest of things 
seem to work acceptably, except a problem with network that seems protocol 
related and is reported in another bugreport (maybe all are kernel 
related).

After rebooting and installing other things, it worked, well, works with 2.2.16, 
2.2.14 and 2.2.12. Maybe it was something with the libraries? I think this bug 
could closed. Maybe the problem was with the Netscape RPM (it seems I got 
confused due the install of another kernel, and blamed the wrong package). I 
will reopen it if the responsible really was the kernel. Sorry. :]
