Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 140198
Random Crash back to login screen
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:10:55 EST
Description of problem: Working along, then system crashes right back to a login screen. I think I've been transferring files from more than Windows machine to virtual HD at the time... but don't know if that is related. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC3 2.6.9-1.678_FC3 How reproducible: Random - I hate random bugs. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use FC3 updated to 11/18/04 on K7 1Gig and wait. 2. 3. Actual results: Login Screen - Relogin... No idea what happened. Expected results: Continued functioning... Not lose all data. Some error message. Additional info: What log(s) file should I consult to see if any record is made of the problem? I thought it might be a power problem, but don't think so, as it goes to login screen, not a system reboot.
sounds more like a gnome problem than a kernel bug.
Happened again: Found this is in the system log... Nov 21 12:07:06 localhost dhclient: bound to 192.168.0.13 -- renewal in 42484 seconds.

Are you using SELINUX enforcement targeted or strict?
I don't know if I'm running targeted or strict. How do I tell? But I do know that SELinux is currently "Enforcing". Currently a FC3 virtually out of the box, with everything installed. All patches including Kernel are up to date. This morning, I awoke to find this error in the logs, and my SSH session terminated (I'd left it idle the night before and forgotten about it).

It appears to be a totally random event?? Kernel is -: 2.6.10-1.741_FC3smp #1 SMP Thu Jan 13 16:53:16 EST 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
