Hello All,
I have read and reread all suggestions for which I thank you all.
At last, I think I have found the problem by searching journalctl -d
after yesterdays lockup. The following lines are what I found......
----------------------------

-------------------------------
wlp2s9 is a wifi card inside my box. Earlier tonight I had another
lockup so rebooted and went straight to journalctl. This is what I found
and it refers to the same wifi card....

-----------------------------------
Btw no hw alterations have been made, and I have been running mageia2
for the last 2 weeks or so with no problems. Would I be correct in
assuming a faulty software driver is the cause of my problem?
My cure is to install the latest kernel and hope.
Thanks
Barry

Hi all, could I have some words of wisdom pls re this problem.
Every so often the box just stops and screen freezes. No mouse, no
keyboard. I have to switch off then reboot. The 2nd last time this
happened I had booted, got to the login screen and left it idle for a
time. Screen was frozen so tried to login from another box but wifi had
not started (naturally). Next time I logged in & went straight to kde
system guard to see what was running. The last item started was sleep
with cmd "K sleep 60". There was another app started by mgaapplet but
was a zombie so I deleted mgaapplet & crashed the box. Until now I
thought it was an app I was running but not now.
Any suggestions as to where to look to solve this problem are most welcome.
uname -a = "Linux TheBox 3.12.20-server-1.mga4 #1 SMP Fri May 16
16:03:00 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux"
Memory currently 501.4mg/1.5gb. sleep is still running with the highest
pid.
TIA
Barry
