Anton,
Ok, I need to clarify myself a little: Font server crashes in GIMP
everytime I try to select a font. I can click and preview the first four
fonts in the list without problem. Click and preview number five locks the
program and creates the error mesage.
I am not completely familiar with the boot process. I see a comment that X
number of blocks were cleaned..followed by a statement that /dev/hdb1
reached maximal mount count, check forced..I watch the percent process. It
finishes with the statement that .01% is non contiguous. The login finishes
in a normal manner
Kppp is configured for server assigned addresses. I have two ISP's. I've
never had the *reset* problem before, if this is a *normal function* that
is all I need to know.
I don't know what precipitates the Gnome errors. I get the same error even
if I do nothing more than play solitaire and log out. [Gnome always starts
with two windows open.]
Everytime I log out I see many Gnome error messages. Here is a small sample:
rm: Cannot remove '/home/ibi/.gnome //gmc-0L6CF2': No such file or directory.
Gnome VT-warning **: Could not open help topic file NULL.
Warning: gnome_is_image_filename called, you should use gnome mime instead.
BTW, I don't think the AMD CPU is the problem. I am quite unsure about the
motherboard though. I don't know that I've ever seen the TYAN S1590s
mentioned in this list. In fact I don't recall any Tyan/VIA chip being
mentioned here.
Thanks to our list for your continuing support,
Pj
