Package: base Followup-For: Bug #609877 This has also happen to me. It starts randomly when I try to open (usually) a program but a file will also do. For example, trying to open "add/remove applications", "software sources", "synaptic", "update manager" does nothing or on occasions the mouse pointer tranforms to the "debian-wheel" as if ready to run the program but after a few seconds this wheel runs off and nothing happens. This sometimes is even triggered by trying to open files that I do own (full permisions as user) like files on my desktop with the same effect. If I keep running the system at this state and "taunt" the system by clicking yet more programs and files, the system eventually comes to state that it no longer responds. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is the only way out of this and after restart, the system is as good as new. I'm sorry that I do not post any logs as I am clueless as to what might be trigering this. Any logs you guys want me to send? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.8 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
