Already did KDE4 on F21 (kernel PAE 3.13.0-0.rc4, server 1.14.99.902, xorg-x11-drv-mga-1.6.2-11), leading me to believe KDE4 on 13.2 (server 1.14.99.905, xf86-video-mga-1.6.3-31.6) would behave the same. I don't install other DEs on test systems on which I install KDE3. Space allocated to test partitions is limited. That said, booted to today's Head 3.13.0-rc3-7 kernel-default I opened an IceWM session, then an Xterm, from which mozilla.org's 32 bit Firefox 26 binary, and while otherwise idle, the computer turned off within a minute or so of FF finishing painting its restored single tab previous session. I booted back into F21 with IceWM but no crash from same xterm -> Firefox sequence. -- 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.
