First: please don't publish this email.
Please use quixote7@gmail.com for that. It is, however, much
easier to reach me on this one. Stretch seems very good, better battery life, speed, even better-looking fonts. But I can't move from jessie until I can find a working text editor. Kate, kwrite, and even leafpad all cause a complete system crash after some random period of time. The window has occasional flickers before it crashes. The symptoms are that the screen goes black, but for a while the computer is still on. After about 20-30 seconds, it shuts down. On reboot, there are usually about three orphaned inodes with userid=0, and a variable number, about 5, with userid=1000. There are no other users on my system. GNU Emacs, gui version, so far, does not seem to have this problem. What was really bizarre is that when I tried to use reportbug after rebooting and before running anything else, it had the same behavior when I was in the cli editor portion of the report. I think it uses nano? Not sure how that could possibly cause a system crash...?? Apologies for trying to submit a bug report when I obviously don't know what I'm doing, but I don't see it already listed. Quite possibly, it's just my system, since this has been going on since I started trying to use stretch (6 months ago?). This was a clean install on a separate partition, and I've been updating it regularly. quixote. |
