Hi,
I was attempting capture the outputs from htop and dstat -tcdngmy after
Chromium started eating CPU and RAM as detailed in the previous thread.
However, before I could complete that, the system shut itself down.
Normally, I have found that restarting the system brought it back after
a bit of disc checking within the boot process, but this time my system
was trashed.
It boots up, but hardly any of my Activities have any Widgets left.
More seriously, my wired connection seems to have lost its
configuration. According to the Internet this config should be in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/, but I don't have a sysconfig directory
so no network-scripts! I have no idea what else has happened under the
bonnet.
The WiFi connection works when I plug in a USB dongle.
Normally I am able to restore everything using the most recent backup,
(last Thursday), but I don't normally backup the root directory because
that can always be restored with a clean installation. However, a clean
installation necessitates several days reinstalling and reconfiguring my
favourite packages, so before I do that, I'd like to work out exactly
what has been broken.
Any ideas?
