oh rats ... more problems

The Old Girl is playing up.

... has frozen twice today ... I'm hoping it's because she don't like Ubuntu ... not the first time she didn't like a version of Linux.

So ... for the time, she will be having a rest from crunching until I can ascertain if it is the OS or old age.

What a week, and its only Monday.

Sorry to hear that mucks.

I hope you get everything sorted soon.

Does Linux leave any log files at all? If you can find them I'll do my best to trawl the net to find what's happening (as I know nowt about Linux!).

Never thought to look Ian, it has logs for everything else ... it wasn't a 'crash' it just froze ... I did notice the temp up @ 63c though.

That was a little too hot, so a days rest from crunching will give me a good idea if She is getting tired, old or just plan cranky. She running at a nice 40c at the moment.

I needed to change the OS on the MJW PC, so I used the Old Girl as a test bed first ... I think I have that one cracked and He's crunching out nicely now.

If you limit the CPU to 80% say if it works fine for the next day, that should keep it much cooler - might be a good test to see if it is a temp prob?

Hey! good idea ... err, can I do that in Linux.

Been 'playing' most of the evening on it, no problems ... got up to 45c downloading & installing some stuff.

I'll have a look see on the throttle thing.
