KDE suddenly logs out
Last modified: 2005-11-10 15:56:02 UTC
KDE intermittently and randomly logs me out (or more accurately, it probably crashes, bringing me back to the kdm login screen very quickly). I have 1GB of RAM, and another GB of swap space; I don't appear to be running out of memory, judging by my on-screen meters (KDE System Monitor applet). Usually, when I run out of memory because of Konqueror's memory leaks, some important process gets killed, such as kwin, requiring me to Ctrl-Alt-F1 and login to kill the remaining processes and re-login. This is very different; it's too convenient and clean in that everything just vanishes and I'm suddenly returned to the kdm login screen as if I had just turned on the computer.
we need logfiles. ~/.xsession-errors /var/log/messages - dmesg output
Created attachment 51566 [details] .xsession-errors file
Created attachment 51567 [details] /var/log/messages
Created attachment 51568 [details] dmesg output Ok, let me know if you need any more files.
nothing in there indicates any crash. Are these log files after such a crash? If so, I guess we need /var/log/Xorg.*.log
Created attachment 52014 [details] kdm.log file
Created attachment 52015 [details] Xorg.0.log.old file - shows crash This one seems to show the crash at the end, while the non-old one doesn't, but I'll upload them both anyway just in case.
Created attachment 52016 [details] Xorg.0.log file
Created attachment 52017 [details] /var/log/warn file This shows the crash as well. I've trimmed it down to just today's messages
Created attachment 52018 [details] /var/log/messages file This shows the crash as well. Might be helpful.
Ok, I've uploaded a bunch of files from my /var/log directory, showing the crash. I've trimmed a couple of them to just today's output so they wouldn't be so huge.
the interesting one is Xorg.log - the X server is crashing
Please attach the results of "nvidia-bug-report.sh".
Created attachment 52025 [details] nvidia-bug-report.log file Ok, here it is. Do you think this is an Nvidia-specific problem? Should I send this over to them?
Thanks. Yes, I think so. I've added Andy to Cc. Maybe he has a hint. For now I would recommend to uninstall the nvidia driver. nvidia-installer --uninstall
Settting to NORMAL. Probably we can't help here (nvidia driver issue). The nv driver should work for you reliable.
What is the approximate frequency of this, Daniel? (eg: once a week or so?) Here are a few experiments to try: - does this reproduce if you disable Xinerama? - does this reproduce if you use TwinView rather than multiple X screens on one GPU with Xinerama enabled? - does this reproduce if you disable GLX (don't load the glx module)? Thanks, - Andy
Daniel, could you help here?
Sorry, I've been pretty busy lately. However, in the meantime I've also upgraded to SUSE 10.0 (the release one) from RC1 which this bug was reported against, and I haven't had this happen any more.
Ok. Then let's simply close this one as FIXED.
