How do you run diagnostics on video drivers. Also, I seem to recall a kernel update yesterday. Well start tailing your logs (journalctl -ef ) or your xsession errors. Its probably not the actual drives, but something interacting with them. I've not seen this on a variety of different hardware.
The plasmashell crash stakanov mentioned is a real possibility. But even that is unexplained until you start digging around in all the usual places.
Try opening a konsole and launching the application from the commend line and watching for error messages directly in the console, while watching journalctl -ef in another konsole.
You haven't even mentioned what kind of email client you are using.
Come on, James, you are better than this.
I'm running Seamonkey, but it's running 24/7, so it's not starting it that causes the problem. This happens when I reply to or create a new email. If I do the same in Thunderbird, I get a brief dark flash, but not the several seconds I get with Seamonkey.
I tried that journalctl -ef and get the following when I get black desktop: May 03 15:46:31 linux systemd[1]: dev-disk-by\x2did-scsi\x2dS__Generic_Flash_Disk_8.07\x2dpart1.device: Job dev-disk-by\x2did-scsi\x2dS__Generic_Flash_Disk_8.07\x2dpart1.device/start timed out.

There is no flash disk attached to that computer at the moment. Also, I guess someone's trying to connect to my system via ssh. I don't recognize that IP address, but it appears to be coming from India as does another that appeared later.. They won't have much luck getting in via ssh, as they wouldn't have the RSA key.
The constant attacks on ssh filling my logs is why I moved ssh to listen on a nonstandard port. (Yes, I also use fail2ban as well - belt and suspenders) Now as for the Glash disk mount, I wonder if there USED TO BE such a disk and some part of the mail application(s) are still trying to write to that? Does it try to mount that flash drive on EACH mail send? Or only that one you posted? In the Tbird/Monkey setups did you have archives or sent-mail on a flash drive at one point and just left it in the config by accident? -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
