Machine crashes after logging out of Gnome
Hey all, I have a very annoying problem. Everytime I log out of my
gnome session, my machine locks up hard, and I have to power it down and
reboot. This is also causing data loss, especially with my
configuration files. After the machine comes back up, strange things
don't work. For instance, every time it happens, I have to completely
re-configure my Thunderbird prefs.js file, because it looks like it was
still in the running state, and the prefs.bak file is empty. Today I
lost part of my evolution configuration (all of the folder shortcuts are
gone, replaced by the defaults). But the rest of the evolution config
is ok (I can get my mail, etc.). I think it might have something to do
with noflushd not flushing info back to disk before the machine crashes.
At any rate, the root of the problem is gdm crashing, but I can't get
any logs because it doesn't save any before the crash occurs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me nuts.
Jason
