One of my dial-up machines will be locked up by kppp if I leave it running overnight (it doesn't always do this, but most of the time). Nothing unusual shows in my logs.
What happens is, when I "wake up" my machine in the morning, then click on the "connect" button in the kppp box, the button will gray out and the machine will just sit there. I can't kill kppp at all--I've tried killing the proc, but when I do that the kppp dialog box grays out completely (no writing inside it whatsoever), but the top bar and the xit square are still there. ktop shows the proc to still be running, no unusual cpu load, no unusual memory usage, etc. Anyway, as soon as the connect button grays out, it becomes impossible for me to logout. And, after I try to kill the proc, I can't even get to another terminal window--I'm dead in the water, except I can still open applications (but not terminal)--weird, huh? My only solution is a hard reboot (alt,SysRq,b). I'm running ext3, so no major problems doing this--yet. But, I'm getting very annoyed. Any ideas? e.
