I had numerous applications open on my newly installed Xubuntu laptop - Claws Mail, Firefox, Synaptic, Terminal, Ktorrent, Gedit, Evince, and a couple more. I was in Firefox reading about the latest mobile CPUs from Intel and suddenly all applications vanished. The OS is running fine. I just relaunched Claws Mail to write this.
I've had one application die, I've had the entire OS die, I've had X die, but I've never even heard of having all running apps die simultaneously. I'm wondering if there is a global kill-9 command that might have been invoked somehow. But the only apps that died were those on the desktop; all the numerous service apps that run in the background were apparently unaffected. This is turning out to be a really weird Friday. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
