I was building X over night (It failed strangely...) and my gnome session died as well as a screen session(Well it was marked as Dead when I did screen -r, and I wiped it before checking further).
Also from the kernel logs.. some ide problems: Jun 17 00:34:17 ciderbox kernel: hda: timeout waiting for DMA Jun 17 00:34:20 ciderbox kernel: ide_pmac_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_timeout func only: 14 Jun 17 00:34:20 ciderbox kernel: hda: status timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy } Jun 17 00:34:20 ciderbox kernel: hda: drive not ready for command Jun 17 00:34:20 ciderbox kernel: ide0: reset: success Jun 17 00:34:20 ciderbox kernel: hda: Enabling Ultra DMA 4 Jun 17 00:34:20 ciderbox kernel: ide_pmac: Set UDMA timing for mode 4, reg: 0x0c50014a Jun 17 00:34:20 ciderbox kernel: hda: lost interrupt Jun 17 01:43:31 ciderbox kernel: ide_pmac_dmaproc: chipset supported ide_dma_lostirq func only: 13 Jun 17 01:43:31 ciderbox kernel: hda: lost interrupt Jun 17 01:43:31 ciderbox kernel: hda: dma_intr: status=0xd0 { Busy } Jun 17 01:43:31 ciderbox kernel: hda: DMA disabled Jun 17 01:43:31 ciderbox kernel: ide0: reset: success FYI: I did have: hdparm -m 16 -u 1 but I didn't have it set to save on reset, so after the reset: multcount = 0 (off) I/O support = 0 (default 16-bit) unmaskirq = 0 (off) using_dma = 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) nowerr = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 8 (on) geometry = 19485/16/63, sectors = 19640880, start = 0 busstate = 1 (on) My X build died at: Jun 17 02:35 @ gcc -O2 -fsigned-char ... -c glint_dri.c make[6]: *** wait: No child processes.

I am not sure when my xsession died. gnome-session from gdm doesn't log to ~/.xsession-errors and I didn't check the timestamps in ~/.gnome before I logged in and removed any evidence. Any hints as to what I should do? -- David Stanaway
