I've had some rather exotic failures today.

Dialog fires up, but it doesn't close properly and fights me constantly.

Are these things that can be fixed with looking at the source and a
knowledge of C?

you'd need to know something about the system you're running this on.
Try an OS specific news group (Windows or Linux or whatever).

This being a newsreader specific group it is the best place to
find help for this problem.

Yes and no. Try shutting a few other programs. If you have *nothing* at
all running, I'd say you have a problem with memory failure. Assuming of
course that your install hasn't become corrupted.

Another thought comes to mind: how big is your swap partition and is it
enabled?

I crossposted this to a place where one discusses standard C and a place
where one discusses the inner workings of a newsreader. I'm unaware of
how aligned these tasks are. I do, however, think that it has little to
do with OS's.

I keep this dialog install on a memory stick and am able to fire it up
both with windows and ubuntu. It always "felt like" there was something
hanging about it, and now that I fired it up in a verbose terminal, I can
actually see these failures.

How does an ordinary mortal proceed? The 40tude site says it is freeware
for an underemployed carpenter like me. I find no place to obtain it,
however. Does anyone know whether it is written in C?

Thanks for your help, Chuck. I inquired at ubuntu forums how I might
determine this, because I think you were on to something there. The
unfortunate case is that my linuses all have decided not to boot, so I
can't even inform a person who is kind enough to make my problems his
problems.

I have less than a week before I leave to spend Christmas with my family
and friends, so my conquest of open-source development will have to wait
until I install it a fourth time in January. Next time I will *not*
upgrade to ubuntu 9.10. It's been so fun to have so many computing tools
at my fingertips, as one does on linux.

Let it snow.

Your trying to run 40tude Dialog a windows app under Wine on Ubuntu Linux I
think?, so a Wine newsgroup and Debian or Ubuntu Subject might be a place
to start asking about that error, but it looks like you need to allow more
memory for Dialog in Wine if that is possible?

Well running linux without knowing how to fix it, run it in single user
mode or whether you or not you are using a swap partition is expecting a
bit much perhaps.

No, you're taking the wrong direction there IMHO. I would say either try
posting your problem to one of: comp.os.linux, comp.os.linux.misc or
comp.os.linux.setup. The problem you're getting *is* running out of
memory, it isn't a problem with the code. Make sure you specify that
you're running dialog under wine using a ubuntu distribution of linux.

Try this however in a terminal:

mount<enter>

that will list the partitions you are currently using along with their
type and size.

If there's only one line with that information, then you don't have a
swap partition currently mounted. And I would be right in what I said
about my other post. After that, one gets into the actual partioning of
the drives, which can wipe *all* information if you don't know what
you're doing.

I've got the 9.04 install disc. I'll run that and pull out my source.

Then it's soddom and gomorrah. Well, maybe a little in reverse as it mixes
the bits of unwanted porn.

Take a look at my other post in this thread. There may be ways I can't
recall right now to find out how the disc is partitions (Microsoft world
can't see linux partitions) that involve /proc.
