If you're using the .deb version of xawtv, then I suggest you deinstall it and download the latest source version. The debian package is old and broken. Then, read the documentation and run program--if you want to run xawtv as a normal user, the v43-conf (or whatever it's called) wants to be installed suid root. The docs will tell you how to avoid the app-defaults error. Thanks. Syrus. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Syrus Nemat-Nasser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> UCSD Physics Dept.
