I rebooted, and it stopped doing it. I went back into messages.0 , which was the LARGE file, and found lots, and lots, and lots of these lines: Nov 17 07:53:24 paulandcilla kernel: [68956.446825] Unknown InputIN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=127.0.0.1 DST=127.0.0.1 LEN=972 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=1103 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=53543 DPT=53543 LEN=952 Nov 17 07:53:24 paulandcilla kernel: [68956.446825] Unknown OutputIN= OUT=lo SRC=127.0.0.1 DST=127.0.0.1 LEN=788 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=1104 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=53543 DPT=53543 LEN=768 Nov 17 07:53:24 paulandcilla kernel: [68956.446825] Unknown InputIN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=127.0.0.1 DST=127.0.0.1 LEN=788 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=1104 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=53543 DPT=53543 LEN=768 I did a CTRL-ALT-F9 earlier that day, thinking I was switching to my OTHER user logged in, and those lines were on the screen, instead of the gdm login screen. Then did a CTRL-ALT-F7 to get back to where I was, and was back to my logged in account. Looks like gdm didn't like me going to that screen without starting a new login session through the menus? -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
