Nobody has a clue on this ?
Hi, I experience very odd X crash these days. We have 3 opensuse boxes here at work. One is Opensuse 10.0 32 bits, another is Opensuse 10.1 64 bits and the third is Opensuse 10.2 32 bits. The 2 first boxes crash regularly since yesterday. It seems to be related to the network: X serverb crash at the same time on the two boxes. The other is unaffected. When I unplugged the network of one box, it does not crash anymore, while the other do. It is not related to the proprietary driver (nvidia on both, however not the same release since one card is too old and must use legacy driver), since the use of the opensource driver (nv) does not fix the problem. One major differences between the two first box and the one which do not crash is it uses Xgl as X server, while the two other uses Xorg 6.8 and 6.9. When it crash, the X server is killed and restarts automatically.
Is anyone has any ideas ?
I join parts of two log files : I masked my IP.
Do you mean that these boxes are available on the internet, with VNC? It won't have anything to do with your crashes, but it's not a very good idea. VNC is totally unencrypted, and should not be used on unprotected networks such as the Internet
Is there another log file to look at ? Xorg-log is not very helpfull.
Is someone logged in at the time of the crash, or is it just the kdm/gdm login screen? It might help to look at the log file for the display manager you're using It might also be useful to enable coredumps for the X server. I *think* you can do this by adding the line "ulimit -c unlimited" to the /etc/init.d/xdm start script, and restarting the display manager with rcxdm stop; rcxdm start I say I think that's how you do it. By that I mean that's how you normally do it. I'm just not sure if it will work for X, since it's multiple processes starting there. But I think it will work. Once you have the core file, it can be investigated. You can, for example, open a bug at bugzilla.novell.com, to get someone to look at it -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
