First of all, you need to have a little bit of a "clue" -- all of these
log entries you posted are normal -- noise. One generally looks for
words like "error" or "warning" and then google's appropriate technical
terms from that. With some smart searching, you will find a page where
a human being has posted the exact same log entry and will tell you
exactly what it means and what he did to fix it -- it will be exactly
the "hey guy, here's what's going on, and here's how to fix it" you're
looking for. Googling Debian bug report lists is usually helpful.
For instance, if I saw an entry like "process foo crashed" -- I would
google something like "foo process crashed debian" and with some careful
search usually find a VERY specific fix. It takes a month or two before
you get the hang of it. You have to become to non-ignorant. That takes
about a month.
