You can find out what the name is by right clicking the icon and looking to see where it points. Then from the command prompt you can see what happens - error message etc. Before you can really get any help you need more info though. Thanks

You are most likely missing some libraries. Take the red pill www.calacademy.org/blogs

Whats the deal here, can this be fixed??

The Default is /var/lib/locatedb 1.2. You ca update /var/lib/locatedb or your desire file with "updatedb" 2. Of cource it's better update db before locating 3. You must get sth like around this 3.1. /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1 3.2. /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1.0.17 3.3. ... vigol mehrshad moslehi mehrshad moslehi vigol vigolyas www.vigol.com mehrshadmoslehi@yahoo.com

It encounters errors with loading the Daemons. Maybe I should give up and try another distro.
