Do you know which packages were updated on your system? I assume that there is a yast or yum log somewhere that might tell you.

This is what I found:
http://www.sensus-communis.com/~boop/transfer/zm/yast/

The events of Aug 30 (y2logRMP) came before zm web stopped working. But zm web did not fail until after reboot. All the Perl and other installs done at once several days later, followed by reboot, seemed to restore zm web and fix the other original zm console problems as well (authentication/images; monitor settings).

Also of note, when I first installed zm, I built/installed ffmpeg directly. ffmpeg never worked, so then I tried installing RPM via Yast from ftp of the SuSE 9.3 distribution (ffmpeg not available in what I have, 9.1). Installed fine but ffmpeg didn't work. I went to mpeg_encode instead. The direct build/install of mpeg_encode didn't work, but a generic RPM I found worked great, I recommend it. Next time I opened Yast it complained up and down about inconsistencies with ffmpeg. So then I followed its "solve" recomendations, choosing to remove ffmpeg (rather than meet all its dependencies with things not available via SuSE). That's when zm web died (not right away, but after reboot).

Thanks Phil! I removed my system logs out of my paramoia (what do I know?), but let me know if you want to see any.

Oh yeah, possible bug: Delete and Prev / Delete and Next does not go to prev or next; instead, after deleting, it closes the window. True in my Mozilla anyway.... which, worth noting as an aside, makes gentle use of my XP laptop's CPU. In my other browsers -- Firefox, Opera or IE, the CPU max's when streaming via the cambozola.jar thingie. (Mozilla 1.7b; Mozilla/5.0 -- Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b -- Gecko/20040316) So the Netscape-ish Mozilla (not Firefox) is my favorite browser for ZM / Cambozola.

Cheers!

Mandrake 10.0

If do as mandrake prompts and update to:
apache2-2.0.48-6.11.100mdk
apache2-modules-2.0.48-6.11.100mdk
apache2-mod_ssl-2.0.48-6.11.100mdk
apache2-common-2.0.48-6.11.100mdk
apache2-mod_disk_cache-2.0.48-6.11.100mdk
apache2-mod_proxy-2.0.48-6.11.100mdk

ZM explodes with the same error as above. [ exit signal Segmentation fault (11) ]

I am not sure which one of these is the culprit though. Probably not proxy or cache.
