Guest CloakedPenguin Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 I keep getting this error message in my terminal. What does it mean? $ Mutex destroy failure: Device or resource busy Oh and it is computer number 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 You didn't give specifics about what GUI or WM you use or your video card or when this error occurs, but I found some info about koffice apps like kword and stuff here (KDE 3.01, I think): http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41867 Maybe that's it?

Guest CloakedPenguin Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Okay I think I should make this list and have it available for copying and pasting. :) Sorry about forgetting. GNOME 2.2 Maxtor 80 Gig HD (Linux) Western Digital 60 Gig HD AMD XP 2000+ 2 Gig Ram Sony DVD Sony CD-RW SIS 900 Fast Ethernet Onboard SIS 7012 Sound Video Card: Nividia GForce4 MDK 9.1 RC1 The thing is that I open up a Terminal, nothing is running and I get this error message. THanks for the link but I don't use KDE or KOffice. What the heck is Mutex anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 I dunno, but one of the links I found mentioned the NVidia card, but gave no solution. Let me dig some more. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Mutex has something to do with locking variables in memory. Over my head. It may have something to do with your bash profile or bashrc being corrupted....just a wild guess. Maybe someone will come along that knows the answer. Sorry I couldn't help.

Guest CloakedPenguin Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 Thanx anyway. I've been searching on the web and trying to find answers. *SIGH* oh well it's just annoying not really affecting anything. But now of course my Galeon Browser has died. Just won't start, and sucks all my CPU power. *SLURP* I have to open up GNOME System monitor and kill it. I must have done something stoopid. I uninstalled it and re-installed it and still have the same prob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
