I recently installed the Gnome Commander rpm on my FC1 box. It ran very smoothly the first few times I opened it (very nice little file manager, by the way). I also created a launcher icon (I'm using GNOME) on the desktop, and it started from clicking that no problem. Well the last few days, I have not been able to run Gnome Commander. I can neither click the icon nor go the "Alt+F2 -- gnome-commander -- click run" route. It won't execute from the command line, either.
Second problem: This may be an indication of intrusion, but I'm not sure. I can't tail or cat /var/log/messages anymore. Although tailing or catting /var/log/messages.1 works no problem. Running either command simply returns me to a prompt, with no error message. Something fishy is going on, because the logs are updated in messages.1 (i.e. yesterday I checked messages.1 and it held info for Apr 16, while today it holds info for Apr 18th) so the information is getting there, maybe just a little late.
Finally, I don't think this has anything to do with it, but since I started using Samba, I have been getting the x.x.x.x sent an invalid ICMP type 3, code 3 error to broadcast on x.x.x.x on eth0. This is a very well-documented problem, although there is no solution, other than to ignore the messages with
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses
I have encountered the first problem when, in terminal, I run by su hostname <something> to change my hostname, then returning to GUI, as user I cannot run anything. Problem can be resolved by going to virtual terminal, logging in as root, and resetting hostname to localhost. This is not the issue with Gnome Commander, though, because I can execute other things. Anyways, any help on any of these issues is greatly appreciated.
