Hi,
I rarely run my Fedora Linux (FC3 2.6.11) machine
for hours at a time, even though Linux has the
reputation of being very stable.
I left my Linux laptop to run overnight. When left
the day before the command-line logon prompt was
showing, X was not running.
When I looked at the Linux screen this morning it
was covered with lots of messages (see below) and lots
of hex values. I pressed the "enter" key and the logon
prompt appeared. I was able to log on and start X.
I acccessed the Linux machine using VNC but running
a command caused the VNC Connection to drop.
Looking at /var/log/messages I have pasted a sample
below. I don't know if there is sufficent information
provided. I don't know where a message sequence begins
or ends.
To stop the messages I have shutdown and restarted
the machine. No error messages currently.
Regards,
Clive
