Other research I've done today has indicated that this may have to do with xscreensaver (thus the idle time required for the problem to happen); reference http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/support/2001-February/000409.html for that info. Our cases have been intermittently repeatable but not reproducable at will; as all our machines which exhibit this behavior are running in random mode, I suspect it may narrow to a particular screensaver module or two, but that's pure gut feeling. We have seen this problem 9 times on one Linux workstation recently. The system is running RH 7.1 with linux 2.2.19. Syslog reports this: Jul 20 14:21:27 bills gnome-name-server[17074]: input condition is: 0x10, exiting Quentin Fennessy Advanced Micro Devices Ditto here. Every night the same thing: Aug 9 01:40:11 pc-005196 gnome-name-server[1122]: input condition is: 0x11, exiting Aug 9 01:40:11 pc-005196 gdm(pam_unix)[989]: session closed for user robr Aug 9 01:40:11 pc-005196 gdm[989]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 We are also getting this behavior on a dozen many RedHat 7.1 machines. The error occurs sometimes several times a day, sometimes not for weeks, sometimes when someone is at console, sometimes when there is no console activity, with the screen saver set to random, and when the screensaver is set to "No screensaver". The only *possible* (but not definite) correlation I have seen is that the crashes often (but by no means always) occur when changing the window size of a Mozilla window by dragging its border.

The "input condition" message is just a symptom of losing your X server; it simply means the file descriptor for gnome-name-server's X connection had an error, i.e. the X server crashed or was killed. The messages like this may help debug the X issue: Jul 1 21:52:13 lexus kernel: [drm:r128_do_wait_for_fifo] *ERROR* r128_do_wait_for_fifo failed! Please upgrade to the latest XFree86 release 4.1.0-25 for RHL 7.1, as well as the latest kernel. Does this problem still occur? I believe that our fix to this problem was upgrading the kernel to 2.4.9. We have not seen this problem in a long time. We have also not seen this problem with RedHat 7.2. Ah, indeed.. I missed that somehow. [drm:r128_do_wait_for_fifo] *ERROR* r128_do_wait_for_fifo failed! is a very very old error that came up, which was very long ago fixed, so I assumed this bug was a new bug causing the same to occur. Thanks for the update. Closing bug as fixed in ERRATA kernel 2.4.9 |
