Hi all,
When I got this laptop (Thinkpad W530), I ran F17. It was always
perfectly stable. When I installed F18, it started to (seemingly)
randomly lock up Gnome 3. I could never see much in syslog of use.
I knew it was just gnome because I could still ctrl+alt+fX to other
terminals. If I restarted dbus, gnome restarted and most of the time I
could log back in. I thought it might have been my bluetooth mouse, but
it still crashed when bt/wan were disabled (airport mode mechanical
switch flipped).
The random lock ups continued when I upgraded to Fedora 19 and I
never was able to sort out why. Finally I started noticing a pattern;
When I used the USB3 ports, it would crash within a few hours. I
recently stopped using the USB3 ports and it's not crashed since. The
USB2 ports are just fine.
So how can I debug this further?
Cheers
digimer
