Nothing looks weird in the logs and things seem to run fine. Does > anyone know what this is and what it is trying to tell me? I've seen that occasionally, too, but don't really know why. It usually happened, for me, after I'd been remotely accessing my server (I found it waiting for me on the server, later on). I haven't seen it for a while, and I've probably updated quite a few things since then. It might have been fixed. Recently, I've occasionally found that I have to log in twice. The GDM login screen comes back at me, straight away, as if my X session had crashed immediately, but without protest. I wonder if they're related (something not properly initiallising for a new X session or GDM login screen). -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
