Hi everybody,
I've installed Suse 8 with KDE 3 for the second time now and still the same error occurs over and over again.
The whole system just freezes (very randomly). Most of the times it does that in the first minute, after I've logged in with my default user account.
But sometimes the computer has been on for 2 days, not doin very much, but running, and then, about 10 seconds after I've started XMMS, it freezes too.
By freeze I mean, that the screen freezes, the keyboard and mouse become irresponsible and I cannot even log into my computer from another computer via ssh. So I guess that the whole system is down. It hasn't happened as root so far, but with every user account I've created.
I get this too. I don't run as root, so I don't know if that part is true for me, but everything else matches my experiences. I also run nvidia. So at this stage my suspicions lie with either the nvidia driver or the kernel or both. I don't *think* it's the nvidia driver, because I could run with it under 7.3 without these problems, but you never know. It could be some weird interaction between the driver and the new kernel in 8.0. I'm going to try running without it for a while to see if the problem remains without it. //Anders
