I ran the test this evening while I was remotely connected to the machine from a different machine. When KDE stuck, I checked the Xorg log from the other machine, without switching consoles on the machine with the problem. The log ended like this: [261624.860] (II) AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch [261624.925] (II) systemd-logind: got pause for 13:65 [261624.925] (II) systemd-logind: got pause for 13:69 [261624.925] (II) systemd-logind: got pause for 226:0 [261624.925] (II) systemd-logind: got pause for 13:64 [261624.925] (II) systemd-logind: got pause for 13:66 [261624.926] (II) systemd-logind: got pause for 13:68 [261624.926] (II) systemd-logind: got pause for 13:67 So, no, I hadn't tried to switch consoles when those messages appeared. >> Have I mentioned that I installed TigerVNC on the system, then >> connected from a different one?

I opened an xterm on it and ran startx. -- Dave Close, Compata, Irvine CA +1 714 434 7359 dave@xxxxxxxxxxx dhclose@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Chaos theory explains why hindsight is indeed perfect." -- Owen McShane _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
