Vadim, a guy in the bug blog said that this bug cannot lead to a freeze and I must have sth else. Pls advise how to save the output from the apport command to a file on the windows partition, so I can email it to you. or if you can advise how to email directly from the shell ( after first checking whether I have network at all ). I have not been able to use 11.10 for 2 weeks now. also advise what to do after the freeze. I would restart and go in recovery and then drop to a root shell, but maybe you want me to do sth else. please, be explicit, I am a good user but novice as administrator. none of the shortcuts that can take me to a shell work after a freeze (or at least the ones I know about). thank you very much. I appreciate your support. ________________________________ From: Vadim Rutkovsky <roig...@gmail.com> To: stephen.cb...@yahoo.com Sent: Wednesday, December 7, 2011 6:15 AM Subject: [Bug 899724] Re: desktop freeze *** This bug is a duplicate of bug 459730 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/459730 ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 459730 rsyslog doesn't create /dev/xconsole -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/899724 Title: desktop freeze Status in “rsyslog” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: system reaches the login prompt and freezes. nothing works at this time. syslog shows 'unable to open pipe /dev/xconsole' coming from rsyslogd. it says to look at rsyslog.com/e/2039 but there is nothing there. it smells like a permissions issue where the daemon does not have write permission. not sure why it happened.
