What happened? I am lost now.


I have my laptop on a dual boot with XP and Suse, and am running the Folding at Home project on it. All of a sudden, folding is not running, I restarted the computer, and when I try to start the folding porgram I get this error: 'Session Shell exited with signal 1'. I have not made any changes on the computer recently, before, folding would start when I booted the computer. It also changed from screen 1 to screen 2 automaticly after one reboot. Very odd. And by screens, I meen the options in the task bar to change screens, this is not a dual monitor computer.

If this was a Windoze computer, I would suspect malware or a virus. Any ideas on what I might have done wrong? I currently have it back up and folding on winXP.

My two other folding computers on Suse are still working with no problems.

Any and all ideas are welcomed!

um, folding isnt pron to probs but if it is a real bother the only way i have ben able to get past such porbs is to go to the linux folding directroy on your pc and delete the config file, that way all setting will have to be re-enteed, you might lose your WU but youll get folding back.,,,,,,a very strnage and rare problem i should note, only happned once.

What does this error message mean?

What does 'Session Shell exited with signal 1' mean?

This is just a quess on my part, so please correct me if I am wrong. I would tend to think a signal 1 error is the kernal is not happy. Keep in mind, I am trying to learn some Linux, and have no background in it. I did make a change in the Yast section, making it performance rather than dynamic. (I run my laptop at 100%) So CPU temps would be a place to start.

But I have been folding on this laptop for over a year at 100% CPU usage under WinXP, so I think this is a O/S problem.

I reinstalled folding, and it seems to be working fine. Maybe the laptop had a M$ hiccup, who knows, it it happens again, I will repost the question.

Thanks
