[SOLVED] System hang

Annega · 03-23-2011, 04:52 AM

Hi people!
I have problem with my Slackware 13.1.
When I run system under log in is "user" after 5 minutes system is hung! I can't move mouse and use keyboard! I didn't have this problem when I run system under log in is root. How I can decide this problem ? Any ideas ?

Try creating a new user with "adduser <username>" as root, then
login as the new user to see if you have the same problem.

Next time, open a second virtual terminal as root, when user "user" hangs, check with top which program crashes the system. If this doesn't work, if you have another pc on lan you can start sshd and monitor the system from a remote shell.

start openssh server on your system and connect to it from an another machine before system hangs.

I believe that X hangs and not the whole system.

Thanks a lot for advices! I think x server is broken. Before this crash I changed configures for X server KDE. How I can return old settings for my system ?

Remove your present KDE settings with these commands:

Code:

rm -rf /home/<username>/.kde/
rm /home/<username>/.kderc

where <username> is your user name.
