Hi,
I just experienced a complete freeze of my laptop - amarok was stuck
looping through the same second of music from an online stream, and the
keyboard and mouse stopped responding completely. The screen appeared
fixed, viewing an xpdf window. I couldn't even switch to a terminal to
poke around there, as C-A-F1 etc. didn't respond.
I'm running Lenny with fluxbox, and had just done an aptitude update. I
don't recall anything heavy, about 40 packages including iceweasel. I
had also just plugged in to the wall socket after running on battery
power for several hours.
I have checked /var/log/Xorg0.log.old, and the only EE messages are:
(EE) Error compiling keymap (server-0)
(EE) XKB: Couldn't compile keymap
These show up periodically in this file, but not in /var/log/Xorg0.log,
which I take it is the log for my current session. I use a USB keyboard
and USB mouse sometimes, so maybe the error is when the keyboard is
first plugged in or removed?
I don't know where to begin trouble shooting - what's the first step? Is
there something I can do to make it easier to find the problem if it
happens again? I had similar problems in the past that I think were
associated with doing some image manipulation in Inkscape or Gimp that
were taking all of my RAM and CPU, but I wasn't doing anything like that
today.
Thanks,
Tyler
