Ubuntu :: Programs Close Randomly - Result Been Crashing Most
Feb 17, 2010
I've never seen this before, but for the past few days whatever I'm working on has had a tendency to close out with no warning. Just in the last two days evince, empathy, and eclipse have closed randomly. Since I use eclipse constantly and as a result it's been crashing the most I went ahead and started it from the command line. Here's the output I get when eclipse closes:
[code]...
it appears to have something to do with the "decorator," but disabling compiz all together doesn't fix it. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. The issue seems to have started shortly after installing a triple-core processor - but I'm not sure that's related.
So basicly I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I am experiencing something I always experience when I install Ubuntu. I will be using a window and then when I switch to another window it will randomly crash and it takes me ages to be able to close it down, sometimes I can never close the window down. This has stopped me from being able to use any version of Ubuntu on my computer which is disappointing because I really love Ubuntu.
I have no idea how to fix this issue at all, I have downloaded drivers for Linux from the Nvidia website but I get a window saying it cant be opened, and no surprise after many efforts I can't even close that window. Its a .run file so I don't know if I have to run it via terminal? I am fed up of not being able to use Ubuntu because these windows freezing is making it unbearable to use.
Evolution for quite some time now, seems to be crashing n burning. Back when I had Karmic on, I lost a hard drive to that because it caused HD errors that became impossible to repair (at least beyond my knowledge on how-to). So I buy a new HD, and install Lucid Lynx, but the problem seems to continue...
I've been using Ubuntu on my machine dual-booting it since Jaunty.... but with Lucid I decided to drop Windows completely... I wasn't using it anyways... Ubuntu does all i need, and then some.
If only there was a fix for these random Evolution crashes... the program does not go grey, or unresponsive, it just vanishes, and I have to re-run it.
It seems like it is mostly happening when I am running fire fox. The screen goes black (but in in sleep mode) and I have to push the power button. After I push power button the screen goes marron-ish with an ubuntu logo with a 4 animated dots and then turns off.
when I start the PC up again I get an error about the Power Manager not ending correctly. It has happened 3 times so far today alone.
I'm using version 13.37 for Slackware (not current). I've tried using XFCE and KDE (currently using KDE) and after using it for a while, it will seemingly randomly crash (20 minutes to multiple hours). The only thing that seems to be constant is that I'm always using Kate when it happens.
randomly firefox (3.59) will not close properly, using the x button will remove it from my de, but it will keep running in the background, and i cant reopen it, receiving a message stating that another ff session is still running. i have to kill its pid id manually. not a big deal but... any idea? (11.2/kde4.3.5 release 0, x86_64)
I've (finally) got the 64-bit Flash driver installed and working, but now I get an illegal instruction when I run a flash operation (video, game...) at a random point while it runs. I see this in the terminal:
My Suse 11 computer has been crashing; randomly once every couple of days. This computer mostly sits unattended downloading torrents, except when I'm browsing torrent sites or moving files.
Typically, the mouse, keyboard and screen freezes, though some processes may (or may not) still be running in the background.
It seems to crash more often when there is intensive harddrive usage. A fiend tested the hard drives. And the drives formatted and OS reinstalled without fixing it.
1) What software can I use to test the ram?
2) I know my powersupply is marginal (and consumption highest using the harddrives), could low voltage cause this?
when my PC hangs my terminal do not open and it is not possible to go to System->Administration->System Monitor and close the unresponsive programs. Is there any way to close the unresponsive programs?
I've recently installed ubuntu, and right away from a fresh install programs would crash whenever I closed the last window. It doesn't give me any error messages, so I don't know what the problem is , just poof the programs is gone and I have to launch it again. This happens in almost every program, I've used except rtythmbox. it's not a big deal for the small programs that load instantly, but for firefox or openoffice it's big pain in the neck.

I'm having some trouble getting all my wines programs to work together. When I change workspace or minimize dvd decrypter it disappears but is still running in the background, this is fixed by running it in an emulated desktop but I would like to have it working without the emulated desktop. When I have dvd decrypter in an emulated desktop and autogk running if I close dvd decrypter it closes all wine apps. I think wine shuts down everything when its emulated desktop is closed.
programs (especially Firefox, though I haven't used other programs much) stop responding rather frequently without warning and after some time they just start responding again. Apt-get also takes ages to unpack stuff when I'm upgrading/installing something, that might be related. According to top there is barely any cpu usage at all during these freezes. I had this issue on a stock Lucid install. When Maverick came out, I tried that one, and the issue still existed. On a fully upgraded Maverick system, it's still there as well. Windows works without a hitch, as does Ubuntu running under a VM on windows.

I'm running Xubuntu 10.10 via USB on a Dell Latitude D505.Wireless card is a Netgear WPN111 and I'm using ndiswrapper to make it work.
My problem is this:when I open any web browser and try to navigate to a page, the whole system freezes for a few min before crashing to desktop.Using Task Manager during this time reveals that processor usage jumps to 100% and stays there until the program closes.I've tried Xubuntu on another, faster machine and it was fine. From this I conclude that it's related to the hardware, and I think it may be some hardware protection feature operating.
I get ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed on my PC and laptop , and I tried ubuntu one.It worked and I want to have a test, so I removed the two devices that already subscribed to my ubuntu one account, after that, I found I can't get them subscribed back.Everytime I start ubuntu one preference , I'll get the error message: got empty result for devices list.How can I add my two devices back to my ubuntu one account (I googled a lot and found that someone pointed that delete the ubuntu one's key will work, so if this is the right solution, how to delete it?
Have been using Ubuntu for 18 months now - its great.Just added a second PC - both hard wired to a wireless router.Have been trying to use NFS to share files with no result.I want to share all files in "home" on PC called "Dimension".
I scanned pen drive using clamscan and I closed the terminal after scanning without reading the result. Now one of my folder is missing in pen drive. I wanted to know if clamav deleted it. So I want to view the last scan result.
I have installed postfix with amavisd, spamassassin, and clamav on ubuntu 10.04 server, all works as well. But, when I test to send 2 messages from outside to my server, the report from mailgraph and pflogsumm is different. To avoid pflogsumm count twice from amavis, I have combine pflogsumm with preflog. And the result like this .
Quote: root@mail:/home/venol# /usr/sbin/prepflog.pl -d today /var/log/mail.log | pflogsumm | more Grand Totals messages 2 received 2 delivered Host/Domain Summary: Message Delivery
I have installed snort + mysql + acid base, I add some rules into /etc/snort/rules/local.rules to test the alert:
alert icmp 192.168.1.20 any -> 192.16.1.21 any (flags:A;ack:0;msg:"NMap icmp ping") alert icmp 192.168.1.20 any -> 192.16.1.21 any (content:"abcdefgh";;msg:"ping de windows") alert icmp 192.168.1.20 any <> 192.16.1.21 any (flags: S; msg: "HOULA SYN Packet!"
After I restart snort and I tied 2 pc by cross cable (192.168.1.20 for windows and the victim is 192.168.1.21 for Linux where the snort is installed), my HOME_NET 192.168.1.21 and the EXTEREL_NET !$HOME_NET. The problem is when I run: snort -dvi eth0 -c /etc/snort/snort.conf
I see the packet transmitted and received (the received conten "abcdefgh" ), when I stopped snort CTRL+C I don't found any alert in the result!!! Run time prior to being shutdown was 218.523030 seconds.
taking out the windows master drive while installing ubuntu on the slave drive as i'm not entirely sure about the reasoning -- something to do with a GRUB confliction.
I have an Ubuntu Linux on a VMWare running and I've installed RPM Package Manager. However when I try to query all packages using the rpm -qa command, I don't get any results returned.
