Alex,

I may be off target here but have you run out of HDD space?

My xastir didn't lock up but was only displayng parts
of maps, and it was getting worse, when I found the full HDD.

Good question so I checked just now in case you were right:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2             8.3G  4.7G  3.2G  60% /

I kind of wish you were, alas not.


I know this was a couple of weeks ago but I finally started getting lockups with bulletins turned on, but I can't be absolutely sure of what's causing them. I first suspected xfbb because it appeared to happen around housekeeping at 2.00am, but the next night the time was different, and then it happened through the day when, in a sense, nothing was happening except the usual apps - fpac, fbb, xastir - were running. The system has been stable for near two years so it's hard to point the finger at the "usual" things.

The only thing different that I did over the weekend was to change the zoom level on the maps I use. I normally run 270 to see the local digi coverage area but I took this to 700 to keep an eye on a mobile about 150km away. In total, the machine locked up 4 times in two days.

Since turning off bulletins, and retaining zoom 700, the machine hasn't locked up again.

The maps are topographic maps, if that is significant.
