[opensuse] suse10.2 system crash
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/edd2713f802f9ef99f7ec27b614ab315.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I have been plagued by system crashes and I think they have come about since I updated a number of programs. The system freezes and I end up having to shut down. On recovery I usually go through the `rescue' and e2fsck -fvy or -cfvy. Most of the time there misplaced/orphan inodes and the `FILE SYSTEM IS MODIFIED'. 1. I used the *.rpm from the suse 10.2 list to update. 2. I used the *.rpm from `stable test' for both the new samba and OpenOffice2 files. 3. I also installed the scrot program mentioned in July Linux Mag. I haven't been able to pin down any one culprit and I was wondering if any one was experiencing the system crash and what program[s] they might have recently added?

Is the system on a network? When the system freezes ( I assume you mean the desktop becomes inactive ) can you ping the machine--- from another machine on the network? Can you get to a black screen console... using the key sequence ctrl+alt+F1 ? (be patient, if the cpu is being hammered it might take a little bit) If you can get to a console then login (again, may take a while if the cpu is being hammered) and run the "top" command. See if something is hogging cpu or memory... also could try ps ax and try to determine which process is taking over the system. It is highly unlikely that the kernel will "freeze". -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
