When I try to run MAE, an error message:
Unable to open the file /dev/appletalk/lap/ethertalk0/control, please be
sure the file exists. (1235)
prints in the launch window- after MAE starts, it fails to make a Keyserver
connection, presumably because this file is missing, and hence can't run
Photoshop.
As far as I know this was working 4 months ago and hasn't been touched
since. The directory /dev/appletalk/lap/ethertalk0 is there, but it's empty.
Could this file somehow gotten lost across Athena releases? Is there a way
to restore it? I'm not sure if we will need to run MAE yet, but I need to
be prepared for the possibility.
Alex
