The log out core dumps occur as well.
Besides that. My mouse freezes at the GDM login prompt.
I reboot to find all my settings have been lost (mail etc...)
And, this time. The GNOME task bar is missing.
I think that all of this is related to the XServer. It desperately needs
some work.

I found that the core dumps occur upon log out from both the task bar and the pull down menu.
KDE 3.0
So I switched to GNOME 2.
Let's see if GNOME 2, gives me the same behavior.

Core dumps are an entirely normal part of running Linux. Anytime an application 'segfaults' a diagnostic dump is produced. If you run flaky applications then core dumps are the consequence.However ordinary users are generally not interested in core dumps and wish to suppress them. This is easily done by inserting the command ulimit -c 0 in the file ~/.bash_profile for a single user, or /etc/profile for all users. Looking at my own system. My laptop is producing coredumps (because I keep running Opera 6.1 which crashes regularly) and I can see the current setting by typing ulimit -a is to allow core dumps up to 1MB in size On the other hand ulimit -a on my desktop machine tells me that coredump size is set to zero, and I am not getting core dumps. So clearly there is a difference in the way my two computers are configured. The only difference that comes to mind is that the /home directory on the desktop was from a previous 8.2 install, while the laptop was a clean install. I will take a closer look to find out where the coredump size is being set. derek On Tuesday 03 Dec 2002 2:05 pm, kjc wrote:I'm running the ftp 9.0 version.

What is up with that !!!What set up are you running? I have had 9.0 running since beta 1 and through 3 rc's and a final and now the store bought power pack and had no core dumps? I am always amazed at the variation in problems showing up on the list, course it isn't any dif than problems associated with that other OS as far as I can see, but it must have to do with the possible permutations of hardware running the software. Oh, I did have a problem early on with shutdowns, but that was cause I put the heatsink on my Duron processor backwards and it wasn't even seated, hot stuff! Lucky the processor still runs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
