hey there

i have a n810 with the latest os. comix used to be working but stopped some days ago. i didn't do anything, it just doesn't start anymore. when i click on the comix icon, i doesn't load - nothing happens. i've already deinstalled - restarted - installed it. but it didn't resolve the problem.

anybody an idea about how to fix that?

The last time I had this problem, it was because I had tried to start it up as root and the files in .comix became unwritable by the normal user.

So, I'd suggest you try the following:

1. open a terminal and try to start it from the command line (the command is "comix")

2. see what error messages show up

3.If you're comfortable doing it, try to fix the problem using chown or chmod.

4. If you're not, just post the errors here and I'll try to make sense of them :-)

Let me know.

hey, thank you for you help!

unfortunately, i am not very familiar with x terminal. how do i start the program in x terminal?

Type in

strange. nothing happens...
when i open x terminal, the last line looks like this:
~ $
then i type comix --> a new line ~ $ appears, but nothing else happens.

Were there any errors when you re-installed comix?
You may have to try re-installing again, then (before quitting out of application manager) go to the application manager menu, Tools, Log...
And let us know if you see anything in there.

it still doesn't work.
here is the log (or at least part of it, the rest ist in the attachment):

any clues?

And still no errors when you run comix through terminal?

It may be worthwhile deleting your comix user-preferences.
In xterm type
And you should expect something like
If everything looks normal the following command will delete the .comix dir.
Any errors, let me know.
It should just execute and present you with the $

Then see if you can run comix again, which will recreate the preferences and hopefully you'll get some output.

if i type: "ls -ald .comix"
i get the following error "ls: .comix: no such file or directory"

and there is still no error if i try to start comix

Have you got any root packages installed yet? (e.g. easyroot, becomeroot, rootsh*)
* rootsh is the recommended one

They should be listed under application manager. Let me know which one you install, then we can check if there's any problems with your dependencies.
