much badness and weirdness on nefarious (figures, just as i was resolved to get php & mysql working). recent calamaties include, but are not limited to:
* weird ie default font
* copy/paste not working
* stickies changes not "sticking"
* custom icons not enabled or not sticking
* things have been "unexpectedly quit"ing all over the place. i noticed this with audion several days ago, but now a lot of applications are doing it (stickies, help viewer, dreamweaver(?) etc.) one app unexpectedly quit so suddenly and thoroughly that it threw me out of aqua all together and made me log back in.
* netinfo manager doesn't work: it repeats this message 4 times: "Domain (null) has no root account. You must log in on the computer named (null) (where the master is located) to make changes." when i launch it, my console log fills with "ATSServer got a fatal exception!! Please check /var/tmp/ATSServer_168."
* process manager won't -do- anything when loaded
what's going on? i've rebooted & run disk utility several times. i tried to use norton utilities but i couldn't get it to even see nefarious while i was in 10.2 and when the cd booted into 9.2, i got a message about fixing a major error in the b-tree catalog and then, "norton disk doctor has come across an unexpected problem and is unable to continue scanning the disk. error found: 23019. please try scanning the disk again." i've never seen that before! >:(
i so don't want to do this right now. i so don't want to spend all this energy troubleshooting.
