Agreed. This is a userland program error message and not a device driver error message. > I/O error : Input/output error > /usr/share/omf/gnome-netstatus/gnome-netstatus-zh_CN.omf:1: parser > error : Document is empty > ... > Any ideas as to why I get this kind of error? That file is part of the gnome-netstatus-applet package. What is the size of that file? Is it zero sized? ls -ld /usr/share/omf/gnome-netstatus/gnome-netstatus-zh_CN.omf If not zero sized then does the file look normal? less /usr/share/omf/gnome-netstatus/gnome-netstatus-zh_CN.omf The stable version is an xml file with xml tags. I suspect that your disk filled up or something crashed during the installation or something and the file was left as a zero sized file. Or that the file contents are somehow corrupted. If the file does not look like xml then that is likely the problem. You might want to reinstall the package. sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-netstatus-applet Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
