I suspect, if you're running Sid, that you've run into a fairly commonissue of /tmp/.ICE-unix file not belonging to root. "chmod -R root.root/tmp/.ICE-unix" should fix this is this is the problem.I looked at the  files in that folder and the folder itself. They all belong to root. If KDM is runnin

AFAIKWhat does that mean? Nonetheless, thank you for that information. It's nice to know that it won't break in the cold. I've actually solved the mystery. It was the programme Azureus. My computer is very allergic to it. It froze every time. At least that is solved.There is another problem, though

I have an interesting update. I normally use my laptop in my room, which I like to keep between 11 and 15 degrees centigrade. However, in the kitchen, where I am currently, it is around 22 degrees centigrade. After three or so hours of usage, it has yet to freeze. Could it be that the temperature i

Are you using ATI or nVidia proprietary kernel modules?  If so, get rid ofthem and see if the crash goes away.  If it does, you know where to direct your complains.If you are rederening to what is currently in my kernel, I am using the standard linux-image from the Debian repository and, subsequent

I haven't had the pleasure of running an smp kernel. Those are for Symmetricmulti processing if I'm not mistaken, and you need two processors or maybe a dual core cpu.I have a multithreading processor. After doing more research, I finaly figured out that the smp is the kernel for me.So, I highly do

I have a Pentium Four processor with 3.06GHz speed. As far as I can tell, this means that I am eligible to use a 686-smp kernel. Though in comparison to the non smp kernel it seems to be much faster, an odd thing is also happening which I can only attribute to the smp (since I have not really seen
