https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801851 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=801851#c1 --- Comment #1 from Elmar Stellnberger 2013-02-02 16:15:39 UTC --- Created an attachment (id=523115) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=523115) tail -f /var/log/messages Another time I have suceeded to capture the tail of /var/log/messages; this time it did not crash but exit with the message "installation has failed". However the keyboard did no more work afterwards. As you can see from the llogtail a lot of things go wrong presumably due to a wrong memory mapping (free -m shows a wrong value.). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
