I've got a bizarre GNOME 3 issue on my openSUSE 12.1 RC2 laptop. I usually am in the Chrome browser, but it fails in Chromium as well. At seemingly random times, I'll browse to a web site or activate some JavaScript widget and the screen will suddenly drop back to a login prompt! I think I can poke around and find a sequence of operations that will trigger this, but what do I have to do to get log files / crash dumps to figure out what's happening?
could be a Xorg crash. Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
if there is a segfault, you can get a useful backtrace by following http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bugreport_X#How_to_test_the_latest_Xorg
It looks normal - no segfaults, anyhow. I'm guessing GNOME at this point. Are there log files from GNOME somewhere?
I did push ulimit up - with luck I'll get a core dump and can find a guilty / victim process.
Ciao Bernhard M.

Perhaps the other way to backtrace that is opening the chrome then in a console session like tty2 use gdb attach Pid of chrome so the debugger is outside X Another place to look is inside ~/.xsession-errors -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-testing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-testing+owner@opensuse.org
