I am getting segfaults, kernel & X display, frequently. They appear to be related to kde but I'm not sure yet. I have switched to xfce and have noticed no problems, but withhold judgement until I can be more sure.
The faults:
Apr 18 19:46:16 wahoo kernel: X[30183]: segfault at 00002b29bf0dba24 rip 00002b29bea50300 rsp 00007fffeeab4960 error 4
Apr 18 19:46:17 wahoo kdm[8456]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly
Apr 18 19:46:17 wahoo gconfd (pat-31490): Received signal 15, shutting down cleanly
The memory location is never the same but the error 4 is.
Three times today, twice yesterday according to /var/log/messages. It seems like more.
kde 3.5.6-10.13 openSUSE 10.1 X86_64 Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-SLI nForce 4 SLI AMD x86_64 4200+ X2 4GB kernel-default-2.6.18.8-396.1
reverted to kernel-default-2.6.18.8-379.1, but same problem.
more information available if needed.
Could it be a memory module and, if so, why only X and not the computer crashing ??
btw, X restarts automagically.
MORE INFO: It's not kde, happened again: Apr 18 20:58:23 wahoo kdm[8456]: X server for display :0 terminated unexpectedly Apr 18 20:58:23 wahoo gconfd (pat-20457): Received signal 15, shutting down cleanly Apr 18 20:58:23 wahoo gconfd (pat-20457): Exiting Happened 5 times yesterday, 7 times so far today and 16 times since the first of March this year. It is only X this time, not kernel. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 OpenSUSE Linux http://en.opensuse.org/ Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
