I was never around to see it actually crash, but when I switch my KVM to it, my monitor gets no signal. I did manage to take a picture of one crash that happened about 10 minutes after bootup, however I did not see it happen, I just switched my KVM and saw the screen like [url=http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/8499/01150007zl2.jpg]this[/url]. After this last crash, I looked at the /var/log/messages to see what was there, but I don't know what to look for. I know it crashed sometime between 10:58 and 11:28 because I have an IRC bot that runs on the machine and it got disconnected at 11:28 and the log stopped at 10:58. This is what I see in /var/log/messages before the crash: [quote]...

So, it looks like it's GConf's fault? Are there other logs I should check? [url=http://www.zavaboy.com][img]http://asylum.zavaboy.com/zavaboy.gif[/img][/url] Loading...
