I have observed these messages being written to the system log when initially booting up the machine and then starting KDE.

I am particularly interested in the two "WARNING" messages (5 & 6); the "core dump" (item 12); the "timed out" (item 16) and the last one, although that one appears to be harmless. Is there something I should be doing to correct these apparent problems? -- Carmel ✌ carmel...@hotmail.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
