Running RH 8.0, with all the patches that the little red check mark has
warned me about.
I came in one afternoon to find my system powered off, and pushing the
power button did no good. Took it in for diagnosis, and was called
back: it worked for them.
Sure enough, I went in, and there it sat. I've backed things I can't
reinstall up to CD-R...but now I'm finding out a little more about the
symptoms.
When I log in and startx (call me paranoid; I start up in text mode),
the Redhat splash window appears and things grind for a while as
usual...and then the system abruptly powers off. I have to unplug
before I can turn it back on. OK...is it the graphics card, or the
NVidia driver I downloaded? Perhaps...so I log in as someone else and
startx. No problem.
So...something about how my X or Gnome session starts up is making the
system unceremoniously shut off the power. Because it does that,
checking the session log isn't going to find anything. Once I send this
out, I will grab memtest86 and see whether my RAM is OK.
Any suggestions would be welcome. How can I go back to the way that my X
and Gnome sessions are initially set up for me?
