I googled and found that other have this bug, but I couldn't find a fix. The computer is working OK as far as I can say. Is there anything I should do with this or can I ignore this message? I have two other questions related: 1. This error message is shown repeatedly in a working virtual terminal window (vt 1-6). If I login to a vt the message interrupts my typing and makes impossible to work in the terminal. How can I fix this? 2. I tried to have a look at log messages and discovered I don't have /var/log/messages file? Where is the log file, I mean a simple text file I can read with any simple text viewer from any operating system.
