Nothing that I can remember. I have been dealing with an anoyance of
using a usb microsoft mouse at work but not at home( touchpad only
there) so I ususally let kudzu reconfig the mouse and write to
XF86config so X won't freak. Sometimes I miss kudzu and need to
ctl-alt-F1 to a VT to run mouseconfig and then ctl-alt-backspace while
at the gdm login to make sure I get the changes into X. Not sure what
happend that time.
There is also a 19" monitor at work that I do not have at home. That is
about it. 10baseT network both places.
After I sent the last post, I was digging through the logs and saw some
issues around the touchpad program that I use to disable the annoying
tap to click "feature". chkconfig -off touchpad then reboot and at least
it came up ok but still getting these messages and a few others I have
noticed sporadically.
I'll get these apparently randomly :
Jan 17 20:49:47 bretsony kernel: NET: 26 messages suppressed.
Jan 17 20:51:48 bretsony kernel: NET: 34 messages suppressed.
must be activity based since they will pile up very quickly sometimes
and then not be there for a couple of hours.
The NET: .* messages started on dec 31.That soulnds like win4lin install
time. I am using the new vnet stuff in win4line that lets windows have
its own ipaddress somehow. I bet that is it.for the net stuff.
More log digging:
It appears the usb stuff started on the 14th I will have to dig around
and find out what I did then. sounds like the rpm -qa -qf
%{installtime:date} or what ever that was a couple of days ago might
just come in handy :)
Man, I guess I have been balls to the wall for so long I have not had
the time to examine the logs on my own machine for weeks. I guess I
could run logcheck like i do on my servers at least I would know when
something weird starts huh?
TIA to anyone who might have some insight.
Bret
