Not entirely on-topic, but this problem is delaying 7i76/7i69/7i70/7i71 support, so is at least vaguely relevant.
My setup is a bit strange. I have a part-finished CNC controller up in my workroom which is a flatscreen, D510 with PicoPSU and SATA DOM SSD. This has accidentally become an EMC2 development platform. I actually do the development from the comfort of the living room, editing the code with XCode on my Mac with the git repo remote-mounted, and kicking of compiles and debugging in halcmd through SSH. Last night I started to have problems saving a file to the EMC2 machine. When I went upstairs to the machine it had dozens of identical error dialogs on screen stacked on top of each other, complaining about a problem with XKB (KBX? KXB? something about Gnome and Keyboard anyway) After I rebooted it would only start in low graphics mode (and then wouldn't actually boot to a gui). This morning it brings up a login dialog (which is unusual) and won't let me log in with the correct password (though this _might_ be a keyboard translation problem, it's hard to say). ssh from the Mac times out, and there is a pop up about Gnome Power Manager. My suspicion is is that I have worn out the SSD after a year of dozens of EMC2 compiles every night. (If I had known I was going to use the machine this way I wouldn't have used an SSD). Does this sound likely? Getting the data off the SSD ought to be easy enough (if it still works read-only, which I suspect it will) if I can find some way to connect it to something else. I have an eSATA port, but would need an adaptor to plug in the SSD which is SATA + separate 5V connector. I hopefully have a remote backup too. (I took a "Snapshot" in Xcode. I am hoping that does what I think it does) -- atp "Torque wrenches are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
