Ok, I can't contribute this to anything I've ever encountered or something that I'm doing, but it seems that after about 7-10 days KDE just dies on me. No crash, no errors, no "I'm gonna shut down". Nothing. I will be working along and then suddenly it's just not there. It just goes away without a single bit of warning. So I login under my user account at the console that's now staring at me and only the basic processes that should be running just after startup are there, but not a single Xwindows thing, or anything related to KDE. Even the logs show nothing. No core dumps, no memory errors, not even an Xwindows shutting down message. It's just like Xwindows and KDE were never running in the first place. I can then restart KDE and it goes back to the same saved state from the last time kde was restarted as though nothing had happened. I'm seriously baffled. This just started about 2 weeks ago after my last reboot. Anyone got any ideas? None of my other boxes do this, so I'm lacking other systems to use as examples. Any help is apreciated. Here's the apps I have running at the time it goes away/dies. BitTorrent Mozilla (for work related webpages) FireFox (for personal surfing) XMMS (playing) Knotes Klipper Krusader Kedit 3 console windows Gaim Kmail That's it. Nothing that I can think of that might destabalize KDE like this. Thanks in advance for your help.
