continual acpid and gdm3 messages in syslog
List, good evening,
Syslog is logging thousands of reports that I've not seen before, and
I wonder if anybody on the list could advise how I should deal with
these reports.
In syslog there are pretty much continuous messages (extract below)
issued by acpid and gdm. The gdm3 message warns that GdmDisplay is
lasting a very short time. The machine's raid1 array redundancy is
being recovered, and to do a disc replacement I took the machine
offline onto a workbench where it does not have a screen or keyboard.
(Controlling via ssh.) The machine is an older server, still
running D6/Squeeze.
If the problem is because there is no screen connected, is there
anything I could arrange so that neither acpid nor gdm3 keep warning
about this? (I've no other screen available, nor any available KVM
connections.)
Grateful for any insights,
regards, Ron
