Or command 21 | tee error.log in case you want th see the output while it is running. -- hendrik If this doesn't work for you for whatever reason, you can use gpm instead (apt-get install gpm) which gives you mouse copy and paste on the text console. Also note that there is usually /var/log/XFree86.0.log and sometimes ~/.xsession-errors which give you details.

Install gpm. Highlight with the mouse, open your text editor in another in another tty (ALT+F#) and paste. This will only work if the error message isn't too long. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
