Since several weeks, I get regularly thei Sad Computer icon which tells me in disconnect and re-connect. But that does not work (and that is true with every variants of gnome installed on my computer). In the same situation KDE seems to work well even though that's not my favorite setup. All this seems to be related to switching between a configuration where the laptop is docked and has two screens and a stadalone configuration where the internal panel is the only screen. When I first had the problem, I was unable to login, rebooted and then had the trouble. With time, I learning that I could take a console, kill the screensaver and then call the gnome-control-center to switch the display, but this does not solve the problem completely as it still happens sometimes after a while. I have tried to remove my .gnome[-2] stuff and various other config stuff such as monitors.xml. I have looked at the various log (messages, Xorg, ... without any clue at the issue). So I'm asking advice in how to analyse and cure definitely this problem. Any idea ? Thank's Theo. PS: Another stange behavior on my computer is that I often get a no more processes situation in cases I have a relatively low number of processes (~320). I strongly suspect chrome, but it is difficult to be sure as the system information given by ps seems reasonnable. I do not think this is related (except maybe on the fact that it may create the situation in the beginning, but since the sad computer remain after reboots, what is corrupted remains even after the process problem is solved, PS2: hum and I also must say that I use the nvidia drivers. I know this is not the best setup to ask for help here, but this is mandated by my company, and I believe that the problem is more to be found somewhere in the gnome configuration files than in some drivers settings. PS3: Generally speaking, gnome works great (even though some interface choices might or might not please people), but when it fails it is sometimes very difficult to understand where the problem is.... This is true for some small problems (failure in applets at start which seems realted to timings problems and are easily solved by re-logging), but in the case of this sad computer, I believe that more information should be provided on what fails (or at least where to look for that information). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
