One thing I have noticed in /var/log/messages is it's full of these: 'kernel: [53379.147068] power_supply hid-00:1e:52:f9:5d:dc-battery: driver failed to report `capacity' propert y: -5' Hundreds & hundreds of lines. More pertinent are probably these lines: 'kernel: [52915.018110] tg3 0000:03:00.0 p5p1: Link is down 23384 May 26 16:28:57 pathstar NetworkManager[660]: <info> (p5p1): carrier now OFF (device state 100, deferring action for 4 seconds)' 'NetworkManager[660]: <info> (p5p1): device state change: activated -> unavailable (reason 'carrier-changed') [100 20 40] 23388 May 26 16:29:01 pathstar NetworkManager[660]: <info> (p5p1): deactivating device (reason 'carrier-changed') [40] 23389 May 26 16:29:01 pathstar NetworkManager[660]: <info> (p5p1): canceled DHCP transaction, DHCP client pid 852 23390 May 26 16:29:01 pathstar dbus-daemon[685]: dbus[685]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher' (using serviceh elper) 23391 May 26 16:29:01 pathstar dbus[685]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher' (using servicehelper) 23392 May 26 16:29:01 pathstar dbus-daemon[685]: dbus[685]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher' 23393 May 26 16:29:01 pathstar dbus[685]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher' 23394 May 26 16:29:01 pathstar avahi-daemon[662]: Withdrawing address record for 192.168.1.79 on p5p1. 23395 May 26 16:29:01 pathstar avahi-daemon[662]: Leaving mDNS multicast group on interface p5p1.IPv4 with address 192.168.1.79. 23396 May 26 16:29:01 pathstar avahi-daemon[662]: Interface p5p1.IPv4 no longer relevant for mDNS.' These came out at about roughly the same time as Thunderbird was complaining about 'no netowrk connection' Cheers, Phil... -- currently (ab)using CentOS 5.9 & 6.4, Debian Squeeze & Wheezy, Fedora Beefy, Spherical & That Damn Cat, Lubuntu 12.10, OS X Snow Leopard & Ubuntu Precise, Quantal & Raring GnuPG Key : http://www.horse-latitudes.co.uk/publickey.asc -- 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?
