I was catching up on my Dilbert funnies when all of a sudden my GNOME session died, and X restarted. I didn't get any error messages, but I found these in /var/log/syslog.
Jan 17 23:55:13 coffee gconfd (steve-6943): Received signal 15, shutting down cleanly Jan 17 23:55:13 coffee gconfd (steve-6943): Exiting Jan 17 23:55:13 coffee gdm[6559]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Jan 17 23:55:33 coffee gconfd (steve-9011): starting (version 1.2.1), pid 9011 user 'steve' Jan 17 23:55:33 coffee gconfd (steve-9011): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only config source at position 0 Jan 17 23:55:33 coffee gconfd (steve-9011): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/home/steve/.gconf" to a writable config source at position 1 Jan 17 23:55:33 coffee gconfd (steve-9011): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only config source at position 2 Jan 17 23:55:39 coffee kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,0) Jan 17 23:55:40 coffee last message repeated 3 times Jan 17 23:55:40 coffee kernel: VFS: Disk change detected on device sr(11,1) So I guess the real offender is gconfd?? What would cause this kind of behavior? A chkrootkit run 55 mins earlier shows a clean system. This is brand new to me. Any help? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen W.
