X crashes
1 Attachment(s)
X crashes rather often, but not in any consistent way. It seems to involve web browsers and especially flash player, but it has crashed entirely without provocation and sometimes it won't even start. I'm really hoping it will last long enough for me to post this thread. Below, I'm pasting one crash message, and I am attaching the log.

Could you please post the result for the following command:
Code:
lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i vga Also run the memtest available in many live cd/ rescue live cd. Regards |
Hi. Also, with those specs you'll need to beaten down the hatches. Xfce and Konqueror can use a lot of RAM* if you can upgrade to the max (RAM I see is under $30,) plus lighter software could help?
Here's a recent thread and some links for browsers some lighter than others: Best fast web browser for my pc? http://www.compmiscellanea.com/en/li...-for-linux.htm And, DE e.g: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/JWM https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/JWM Best wishes and have fun. :) |
Thanks so much for the help thus far. Here are the results of lspci:

The RAM is a little low, but I have a desktop CPU/RAM/SWAP monitor and the RAM usage is never above 25%. Is xfce really high-RAM? I thought it was supposed to be "low-calorie"... EDIT: I just checked... turns out the RAM stat I copied from Amazon was wrong. I have 734 MB RAM. |
The first thing to look for is bad memory.

There is a bug with that driver and you'll need to do some updates to fix the problem, this thread will give you some more info.
