Faulty RAM can give you random unexplained problems, perhaps like the ones you describe. Cryptography is one of the things that triggers many faults (failing a kernel compile is another good indicator). Ubuntu comes with Memtest (chosen att boot time in GRUB) - run a full set of tests and see what happens. Check the most recent files in /var/log/ for any errors. In your case the computer reboots - check /var/log/dmesg, look just above the bootup messages. Make sure you have enough disk space left by running 'df -h'. Good luck! /johan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list [email protected] List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
