Maybe. I've been having some bizarre lockups and things like multiple applications segfaulting at the same time followed by a complete freeze. Or it could be hardware issues that I'm having. I guess I'll have to try debian again. I just dont want to lose the setups I've already got. But this particular issue only has happened twice, and it seems to be a possibly related side effect of the whole udev & hal subsystems coming down (the part that allows me to mount a usb stick, or automatically pops up a filesystem browser when I insert a usb stick or a CF card). When that happens, nothing but a reboot will bring things back up to the point I can mount things. I had this happen in my prior install (Debian Lenny) on an old (since replaced) 386 athlon box, and I had to reboot to get the usb stuff to load again, but Debian doesn't do (or didn't then) anything with consolekit. And I can't see the advantage of doing things this way. What really is this freedesktop.org stuff? Why is it enabled? -- Console kit deamon can't acquire freedesktop.org https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242186 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
