Are you using a custom login script (~/.eboard/scripts/autofics.pl) that does weird stuff, maybe? If yes, please try without the script. > If you need any more information or want me to try a patch, just ask me. Please try to get a backtrace with debugging symbols after the freeze occurs and you hit CTRL-C. The wiki has a farily comprehensive guide [1], if you need further assistance, just contact me. Thanks in advance! [1] http://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace Can anybody else reproduce this on PPC? Kind regards, Patrik
