Re: Feodra Core 3 corruption

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Some times the the file manager (Nautilus) does not show up.
if I want to reboot the PC at that point for some reason, the Actions->logout
won't respond. Terminal does not open for a while .... instead of waiting for all this
to happen I was playing with pushing the power button. I have done this several
times. At one time I see this corruption. I am using this in a lab environment.

I guess my question is why pushing power button causes this random writes ??
This is so happened that some of the kernel header files are corrupted (some
junk characters in a header file) and could not compile a kernel module ...

I know I need to do proper shutdown. 

What if this happens? How do I protect this ... ?

Thanks

I can believe that a force shutdown like that could corrupt
anything. What exactly are you hoping to get as a response
to this message?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
