Hi,
My computer, started crashing pretty frequently, after installation of
Ubuntu 8.10. The question I want to know is, what logs do I read to figure
out what exactly went wrong?
I know this is pretty ambiguous, so here are some more details.
I've already checked out kern.log, syslog, dmesg logs, daemon logs. Nothing
seems suspicious. Clipped version is here :-

My hardware config:-

I think the possibility could be pidgin and/or gnome-do (cause i've enabled
a number of plugins which came with it), and am currently logging it in
debug mode, just in case....
It's still pretty ambiguous because you haven't defined what do you mean
by "crash". What does it actually crash and when? When it is showing the
splash screen during boot up? or at the login screen? or after you have
logged in and when the desktop is loading up? Or when the desktop has
completely loaded and there is some app started on first login? Unless
you tell it out it's very hard to diagnose what's causing the problem.
I'm not expecting anyone to solve the problem for me here, just want notice
on how to proceed, what to look out for.
Well, that's weird. Any help asked is generally towards solving the
problem. Even if we say how to proceed and what to look for, it's
towards finding the culprit and solving the problem.
