Howdy, About one month ago, I crashed my system something fierce. My mouse has a bouncy middle button that I havn't gotten around to doing anything about. Anyway, I was running Ghostview and draging the scroll bar down and I wandered ooff the bar and onto the page. OK, no problem except my mouse decided to bounce the middle button about 40-50 times. After Ghostview tried to open the 15-20th zoom window the system froze. After an ugly reboot, xdm would not start X Windows unless gpm was killed.
Now that I have everything back to "normal", I have decided that I don't need gpm any more. But when I run 'dselect' I get: > running dpkg --pending --remove ... > (Reading database ... 16450 files and directories currently installed.) > Removing gpm ... > dpkg: error processing gpm (--remove): > subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 137 > Starting gpm -m /dev/ttyS0 -t bare > /usr/sbin/gpm: /dev/ttyS0: Device or resource busy > Errors were encountered while processing: > gpm > > dpkg --remove returned error exit status 1. > Press RETURN to continue. > Now, my question is; how do I get rid of gpm gracefuly? -- <Signature deleted for lack of anything witty or thoughtful to say> Kevin McEnhill [EMAIL PROTECTED] Machintosh fanatic and Linux guru in training. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
