[Xastir] test

Wed May 6 20:08:06 EDT 2009

I launched Xastir with "-v 528 -m"; it crashed.

Here's the tail of the log file:

map_indexer: Returned from map_search
map_indexer() middle
Finished indexing maps
map_indexer() end
Making user /home/xubuntu/.xastir/config/selected_maps.sys file
*** Reading WX Alert log files
*** Done with WX Alert log files
ICE default IO error handler doing an exit(), pid = 5574, errno = 32

The complete log file can be viewed here:
http://mckeehan.homeip.net/aprs/startup.log

I was watching /var/log/messages the entire time...no messages.

Is there an easy way to switch window managers in the Xubuntu virtual machine?
