I deduce that it was because of overheating. Fortunately, hardware

Help! What can I do? I do not care start gNewSense more times for a

I'm not sure about your system, but in mine the fan control is
connected to and controlled by the motherboard (it has built-in heat
sensors) and is completely independent of the operating system. If you
want, check the machine's temperature. I seem to remember seeing
software out there that lets you read data from the machine's heat
sensors, or maybe your BIOS will report that data to you.
Anyway, these don't sound like heat-related problems to me but rather
permissions or some other problem. It might be helpful if you could
provide some context for your use of sed and what happened (i.e.,
terminal output) from when you issued sudo halt so as to diagnose what
might be going on.
