KDE and xine Crashing, what logs should I be looking at?
In the last 3 days I have had xine and KDE crash alot, like 3 times each and firefox just simply quits every so often. Last night KDE crashed to console and the console screen kept flashing on and off and I had to reboot get any kind of console back to login. The lights on my modem where flashing like crazy after the crashes so I turned it off. I have looked at /var/logs/messages and dont really see anything of interest and some others but what are the most important logs to view and where are they? Thanks in advance.
Thanks, I tried netstat -an and iptables -nL but unfortunatly I have no idea what I am looking at. I did run guardog after and ran netstat -an and iptables -nL again and it seems to have had a major change. I only received 3 messages before guarddog when I ran iptables -nL but after I received like a dozen. netstat -an show many lines of stream listning and and stream connected, is that normal? Thanks again.
The only thing I can see in the xorg log is something about font cache but its just a warning. I also checked kdm log and nothing there. I dont see anything in any log that would give a hint as to what caused those crashes with KDE and xine. Well, I guess I will just wait until it happens again and immediatly check the logs after.
