various problems with RH!

Weird.  I've never had any of those utilities crash on me.  Have you been messing with your system as root or something?  When did this start?

First I would suggest you think back to any software you have added, or changes you have made, no matter how seemingly innocent. Maybe you changed a setting and it is having knock on effects.

Secondly have you tried creating a new user? I had a segmentation fault that seemes to have had something to do with the gnome GUI. When I deleted and recreated the user the fault vanished (if you try this backup is recommended  ). It has never returned, of course that does not rule out the possibility of drive problems.

Do other users experience this problem?

I can't think of anything I've installed in the past couple of days.
The only thing I can think of is when I added the repositories void main suggested in his RH tip, I ran an upgrade all and then synaptic hung.
When I tried to start it up again I was told that 2 versions of gettext were present on my system and synaptic wasn't able to handle that.
I removed gettext and everything was back to normal (I think).

I tried to log out and log back in as root and the problem persists, so creating a new user would not solve the problem I think.

voidmain:
Weird, I run an upgrade almost every day on all my machines and haven't run into a problem yet (other than with the mplayer-skins package a while back seemed to have a problem but not any more).

[edit]
That is until right now.    There appears to be a problem with the codefactory repository right now. I am going to comment it out of my apt instructions page and check on it later. I got a corrupt package list from it and Synaptic wouldn't run until I commented it out in my sources.list file.

The problem seems to be far more serious than I first thought; liker Linux Frank I thought of a program I had installed that messed things up but I ran rpm -VA and a BUNCH of files are missing, another bunch have changed permissions and others have the checksum changed ....????

Yesterday while I was on irc suddenly my pc froze completely, I could only sporadically move my mouse and had to do a hard reboot.
Could it be that a malicious sob hacked my box?

voidmain:
Is your machine connected directly to the net or are you behind a firewall? It is not uncommon for some files to be different (configuration files). Otherwise that tells me that it's either a corrupt file system or you've been 0wn3d.
