What is 'npviewer'?I do not seem to have it on my system and I can not determine what package it is in.
mns@xander:~$ dpkg -S npviewer dpkg: *npviewer* not found.Are there other processes that could lock the device in a similar fashion that I could be looking for. I could set up a batch file to look for and display potential culprits, but I need to know what they are, first.
