Hi Anne
What I can see from the logs that you presented was that all the way down
Xwindows seemed to be healthy.
Well that rules out one thing. FWIW, Rex also said on IRC that if I could
move the cursor around with the mouse, like that, X hadn't crashed, so we are
looking for something else.
You say that you were able to switch over to a console. The next time
it
happens please post the output of
ps aux
I'll do that.
One possibility that comes to mind is that it is very possible that
the
computer overheated.
I don't think so. I run gkrellm, and this laptop reports about 10' cooler
constantly than my older laptop did when idling. It never seems to raise more
than a few degrees.
Konqueror / Chromium) hmmm....
I have had some problems with Konqueror in the past, which is why I use
Chromium quite a lot. It just seems more stable. I wouldn't be surprised to
find that Konqueror is implicated.
Questions (probably silly). Are you using
adobe's flash plugin? Is it the 64 bit version or the 32 bit version?
I have flash-plugin-10.1.53.64-release.i386
If
the 32 bit version are you using it in a 64 bit environment?
No.
If you are
using flash do you experience the same symptoms if you were to use firefox
or google-chrome?
Flash videos run perfectly in FF and Chromium, but not at all in Konqueror. I
had clicked on a video link, forgetfully, earlier, so Konqueror would have
tried to run it and failed. It's possible that there is a connection there.
At Rex's suggestion, I'm trying xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.12.0 from koji. In this
morning's logwatch I see
WARNING: Kernel Errors Present
ACPI Error (psargs-0359): [ ...: 8 Time(s)

I don't think the ACPI errors have any connection, but the rest probably do.
I haven't yet trawled through logs to find out exactly when this happened, so
I don't know whether it is building up to the crash, or whether it concerns
the new driver. Later today I'll see if I can put a time on them.
One thing I have found in the logs - prior to installing this experimental
driver, the kdm.log showed
intel_bufmgr_gem.c:1069: Error setting domain 601: Input/output error
intel_bufmgr_gem.c:1069: Error setting domain 828: Input/output error
intel_bufmgr_gem.c:1069: Error setting domain 639: Input/output error
With the new driver that has disappeared, so that has to be a step in the
right direction :-)
'messages' is full of kernel errors, some of which are probably related. It's
probably too big for pastebin, but I could post it somewhere and send the link
to anyone wanting to read it.
