Man pages blank ?
 
When i try to read a man page i get a blank screen. I have groff and nroff installed so its not that any ideas as to why it would be blank ?

At a command line or terminal, type man man
If it comes up with the docs on the manual pages, then there's nothing wrong with your man pages. What are you trying to use or doing to view your man pages ??

doing a 'man man' gets me these errors (Doesnt happen with other mans !)

groff: can't find `DESC' file
groff:fatal error: invalid device `ascii'

Im trying to use man to view my man pages. Every single man page comes up blank.
