    Linux Errors

    Being mostly stuck in the Windows world, Linux is not my fortè I'm a bit unsure about figuring out this error I get every now and then on my mining (eth) system (apologies for image quality, bad cell camera). It occurs randomly (system is logged in etc.) it goes as far as the image shows, then just stands there, not accepting any input, have to force boot it. The system is hooked up via ethernet, but does have wifi support.



    Every now and then I come back to see that on my screen.

    Andy is my username on that system, as far as I can figure gdm is the Gnome Desktop Manager, but why does it suddenly start the hostname service and name resolution, create a wpa supplicant, remove slice user and start a user manager session for GDM?

    halp! wut is gåing ån?

    I must admit that mostly makes me more concerned, why on earth would it log me out and create a new user slice for the gdm?
    (this is what i get for focusing on windows ><)

    cat /var/log | grep -Ri error
    then

    cat dmesg | grep -C15 'User Manager'
    ^this one probably won't give you any output, but I wanna see cause of the services that are start/stopping.

    Also can you run top and see if you have any zombie processes?

    Stick the output of the greps in pastebin and link here. Also this appears relevant to your screenshot: https://unix.stackexchange.com/quest...-manager-for-u

    There is a lot of off comments in in those logs!

    "This extension show only windows of application you are hovering in the dash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWWoxJXMzJ4\r\n Known issues:\r\n\u00b7Drag is little uggly and has a silly workaround \r\n\u00b7Sometimes if you change workspace in one applicaton mode some windows in overview dissapears "

    the thing is like 200 pages long, but everything suggests it's an issue with the nivida drivers then, I got very concerned by an user I was not familiar seemingly logging into my system through firewalls and everything.
    Thank you very much :D
