Start up gdb in a terminal window, and then do 'attach PID' where PID is the process id you wrote down in step #1. Now if the process crashes you will be able to do an analysis of it in gdb. However, if the app doesn't come with source and (more importantly) isn't compiled in debug mode, it's often not very helpful doing this. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I recall in earlier kernels like the one in 9.0 mine would slow down at times real bad. I don't guess mine ever crashed, but using mem=nopentium helped my issues out (amd system). you might try that. hth, -s Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] UT2003 help?
haven't played it, but... three machines with same OS, same video card, same video driver, one of them keeps crashing? Sounds to me like the one machine is a) the one with the different video driver, or b) overheating. On Tue, 2003-02-11 at 08:29, Ronald J.
