Web editors wont start/running slower than molasses


Hey all
I'm having some difficulty running my fave web editor Bluefish. Upon startup it show a white splash box (where the splash screen should be) and never starts. Justs hangs for a while then disappears
I installed screem thinking it'd be different ....and it was. I got as far as the tip of the day after ten minutes of waiting but it wouldn't go past that. My system specs are:

64-bit Hardy beta (yeah I know beta=buggy)
2 GB of ram
amd turion64
120 GB Hdd

I know the beta is called such for a reason but bluefish ran fine until some updates the other day...hmmmf. Any advice/help is greatly appreciated but I've been having trouble getting any responses on this site since I joined...

Best solution when running beta releases is to file a bug report at launchpad.net so that the developers fix the problem before the actual release.

Try running bluefish from a terminal to see if there are any errors, those errors you can't see if you click or double-click on a button/icon.

No errors, it just freezes and the UI goes blank.

Look in your home directory, and in /etc, for a bluefishrc. Look for the name and location of bluefish logs, if any. You might get information about the problem from there.
