Buggy behavior on BL5.1
by Bokkie from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4RQH1)
Hi Folks,
I'm experiencing what I can only describe as buggy behavior on BL5.1.
When starting BL from the grub menu and then selecting Manager, an accounting program that I use, everything behaves normally. However if I go into an invoice or a quote and try to change anything using the edit button, a black screen appears and the only way that I can get back to the program screen is to repeatedly hit the tab key and press the screen resize button.
VLC also has a problem, when opening it and selecting a file to play, it opens the file, then freezes the whole system, I can't even select the kill window option and the only way is a hard shutdown.
A workaround I've found is to boot to menu and select the repair packages option,let it do it's thing and then select Manager and/or VLC and both work perfectly.
Both programs work perfectly on my netbook using BL 4.5 without having to resort to package repair.
Is there something that I can download or adjust so as to avoid having to use the repair option on boot.
All other software appears to be working normally on a normal boot.
Any help would be appreciated.
