Wow, thanks! I guess I have some logs to look through. Thanks, Walt E Johnson wrote:
Walt,
Next time it locks up, after you reboot, get a look at /var/log/messages. Page down to check the last entries before the reboot, which should tell you what was going on when it froze.
Do:
less /var/log/messages
which will output the actual text of the messages that are being saved in the /var/log directory.messages. You might need to be root to do this --we do have to be root in Debian and in Ubuntu.
Since you have:
messages messages-20090125 messages-20090201 messages-20090208 messages-20090215
it means there are several message logs that have been made recently. You could also output:
less /var/log/messages-20090215
But let's see the last bunch of entries in the latest one. You could also select text from these messages, and google that for forum postings.
