Hello everybody!
I’m having some trouble because my opensuse 11.1 crashes and i dont know why. It crashes sometimes very soon and sometimes it works fine a couple of days and then crashes… i think it has something to do with my wireless card cos of the /var/log/messages… can somebody help me please?
this is an extract of the /log/messages from the last time it crashed

near the bottom of your messages it show you plugged in a memory stick
or something made by LG…

does your machine always “crash” when you plug that device in?

explain what you mean when you say “my opensuse 11.1 crashes”?

-that is, what do you see?

-does the screen go black? white?

-or suddenly have pink stripes all over? crazy? (how so?)

-do the shiftlock and numlock LEDs on the keyboard go out, or flash?

-if you press the shiftlock key does the shiftlock LED turn on/off?

-the hard drive light, does it go on and stay on?

-or, does it go dark and stay dark?

-if you could hear the fan(s) turning, when it crashes does that stop?

-is this a laptop? what brand and model? how much RAM? graphic card?

thanx for the answer! ok here we go:

near the bottom of your messages it show you plugged in a memory stick
or something made by LG..

does your machine always "crash" when you plug that device in?

Its my mobile phone… i didnt think of that, ill figure it out…

explain what you mean when you say "my opensuse 11.1 crashes"?

-that is, what do you see?

-does the screen go black? white?

-or suddenly have pink stripes all over? crazy? (how so?)

-do the shiftlock and numlock LEDs on the keyboard go out, or flash?

i cant move the mouse, i cant switch consoles (atrl-alt-fx), the shiftlock and numlock leds stay as they were and i cant switch them… i see my desktop but i cant do anything. the hard drive doesnt work anymore… its like it freezes and stays so.

-if you press the shiftlock key does the shiftlock LED turn on/off?

no.

-the hard drive light, does it go on and stay on?

-or, does it go dark and stay dark?

it goes dark and stays dark.

-if you could hear the fan(s) turning, when it crashes does that stop?

i dont know… :S

-is this a laptop? what brand and model? how much RAM? graphic card?

its not a laptop. i got 4gb RAM, core 2 duo…its a good desktop computer…

can we have some more hardware info please?

graphics, sound, mobo, etc…

And which drivers for graphics if they are Nvidia, ATI or Intel ( standard
or propriety )

You could also enable the SysRq key in Yast>System>Sysconfig Editor

Just use the search function and then read here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key

At least you might not suffer as much data loss and have to sit through a
fsck on reboot unless this is a full blown kernel panic/crash and it might
write some useful info into the logs that might help in diagnosing what it
happening.

asysat, i agree with baskitcaise that this is probably a software
problem, and i guess most likely a graphics driver problem…so, you
have to cough up some hardware info to get the help you want…
