Hello All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I wanted to edit a graphic today using ImageMagick. I haven't used |
| 4 |
ImageMagick in a while and recently, I did a bunch of mucking around |
| 5 |
with my system (upgrade to KDE 3.5 where kaudiocreator started |
| 6 |
exhibiting weird behaviour, then downgrade to KDE 3.4.3 and in the |
| 7 |
course of this, I removed anything that had been installed in a new |
| 8 |
slot, but I suffered no repercussions afterwards). |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
When I right-clicked on the graphic that I wanted to edit and chose |
| 11 |
"open with" and display, ImageMagick didn't launch, but the |
| 12 |
configuration screen for KRandRTray (the KDE screen resize and rotate |
| 13 |
utility). When I noticed this, I thought that maybe it was my mistake, |
| 14 |
so I unmerged ImageMagick. After doing this, I checked /usr/bin and no |
| 15 |
executable named "display" existed. When I emerged ImageMagick again, |
| 16 |
the display executable was back in /usr/bin and exhibited the same |
| 17 |
behaviour as explained above when I tried to launch ImageMagick to edit |
| 18 |
the graphic. This occurrence was on my desktop. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Over the past couple of days, I have been updating my laptop. Since I |
| 21 |
didn't want any slotted occurrences of packages, I removed all packages |
| 22 |
that would have resulted in new slots being created - xorg-x11, |
| 23 |
kde-meta, etc. Then I emerged them again. Everything seems fine. |
| 24 |
However, as I was keeping tabs on the progress of the 272 package |
| 25 |
install of kde-meta, I noticed a couple of lines during different |
| 26 |
compiles that said something to the effect "seems to have been relocated". |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
So, I'm wondering has anyone noticed the behaviour described above with |
| 29 |
ImageMagick and could there have been a problem with the header used to |
| 30 |
compile the program. (Don't laugh, I'm not a programmer, but am taking |
| 31 |
a stab! :-) ) |
| 32 |
|

Regards, |
