xaralx and slackware not working properly?

I'd like to know how rixtr66 is getting along though?? I think his problem might be somewhat related... but to the templates.desktop in OOo

hehe.. Thanks Keith... (I think)
And not have to spend countless hours on the phone with a tech support personnel who often seem to know even less than the person who's calling for help does

You dont know how right you are.....

Thanks for looking into this issue, when I got the problem I didnt have the energy to look for any other solution than removing OOo...used XaraXtreme on windows for a while, damn that 3d function is sweet(!). But there's just something about Xaralx that makes me more creative, dont know why..

ver..7rev16.im baffled cause it used to work.

Try 0.7rev1785 if I remember correctly, I could be wrong, there were some patches added to it long ago (and oh so far away(sry couldnt resist)) to make it work with some stuff that changed in some lib or something.


EDIT: Just tested 1692 and it works. Could you start xaralx from the commandline and post the output here?

Corrupted? How does that happen? Been using linux for 6+ yrs and well...I've only seen corrupted Windows installs in that time.

...and especially of all distros... Slack corrupt? Odd.

Well, glad it has worked out in the end for you. Stick around though... it's nice to have a fellow XaraLX fan around
