-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I already managed to get my girlfriend leaving windows and using linux. Unfortunately this is the only occurence where a system freezes on a regular basis. Whenever she leaves the system a little bit (and once, while she worked) the system freezes. To my suprise the one time it happened, when she was working, the screen went to power save some time after it. I can't connect via ssh to the system when this occurs. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace won't work, switching to another console neither. We have Fedora Core 5 with KDE. Attached to 2 SuSE server, where I mount the homes ( I made extra /home/fc5 directories which I mount as /home on the fedora box, so I won't mount a SuSE home. I also mount /home of the servers as /suse_home on fedora, so I can make a symbolic link to the suse homes into the fedora homes ) and have a NIS server running. /var/log messages won't tell me any interesting things. Neither on the fedora box, nor on the servers. The only thing which get's me worried a bit is: Apr 19 09:55:52 snoopy gconfd (ina-2746): (Version 2.14.0) wird gestartet, Prozesskennung 2746, Benutzer »ina« Apr 19 09:55:52 snoopy gconfd (ina-2746): Die Adresse »xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory« wurde an der Position 0 zu einer nur lesbaren Konfigurationsquelle aufgelöst Apr 19 09:55:52 snoopy gconfd (ina-2746): Die Adresse »xml:readwrite:/home/ina/.gconf« wurde an der Position 1 zu einer schreibbaren Konfigurationsquelle aufgelöst Apr 19 09:55:52 snoopy gconfd (ina-2746): Die Adresse »xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults« wurde an der Position 2 zu einer nur lesbaren Konfigurationsquelle aufgelöst Which is German for: xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory« gets resolved on position 0 as a readable configuration source »xml:readwrite:/home/ina/.gconf« gets resolved on position 1 as a readable and writable configuration source »xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults« gets resolved on position 2 as a readable configuration source Could anybody give me a hint, where I could look further.
