Hello all! Recently I have noticed a strange thing with my system. Every time I log on to my system I find a line like "kernel: pid #n (vmmouse_detect), uid 0: exited on signal 10 (core dumped)" where #n is an integer just before the "login: ROOT LOGIN (root) ON ttyv0" in /var/log/messages Here is my /var/log/messages http://pastebin.com/PHrn5NQD `man vmmouse_detect` says: "vmmouse_detect is a tool for detecting if running in a VMware environ-ment where vmmouse is used. It exits with a 0 return value if the vmmouse client is enabled, and 1 if not." So why vmmouse_detect is dumping the core on each login instead of returning 1 or 0? BTW I don't remember setting any startup script for vmmouse_detect. I have xorg installed though. So if starting vmmouse_detect on boot is importnat for xorg to function properly (which I presume as I haven't configured vmmouse_detect to start on boot and I think xorg has), how do I make vmmouse_detect to exit cleanly. i.e. without dumping the core? -- Avinash Sonawane (RootKea) PICT, Pune http://rootkea.wordpress.com
