In Debian you should use "adduser shalom sudo" instead of usermod, > since then I was periodically logged out of the > gnome session without notice. I never experienced logouts of X session before, but bash session can automatically log you out after period of inactivity, if envvar TMOUT is defined (I had TMOUT issues on our HP-UX servers). But I don't think it's related to your problem. Most probably, something in gnome session is rotten. > this is few line from the file /var/log/messages: > Jan 8 18:42:29 shalom-laptop kernel: [ 2456.532782] iwlagn > 0000:03:00.0: L1 Disabled; Enabling L0S > Jan 8 18:42:29 shalom-laptop kernel: [ 2456.593580] > ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready > Jan 8 18:42:31 shalom-laptop kernel: [ 2458.797088] > ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready > Jan 8 18:43:16 shalom-laptop kernel: [ 2504.313947] cfg80211: Calling > CRDA to update world regulatory domain > Jan 8 18:43:30 shalom-laptop kernel: [ 2517.526160] cfg80211: Calling > CRDA to update world regulatory domain > Jan 8 18:44:15 shalom-laptop kernel: [ 2563.159895] cfg80211: Calling > CRDA to update world regulatory domain > Jan 8 18:45:48 shalom-laptop pulseaudio[4677]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: > Stale PID file, overwriting. I see that your WiFi link got lost? Maybe some kind of NetworkManager tried to start something that killed your session? Or tried to start something missing from your installation (some NM applet, for example)? Probably it didn't even bother trying when you were not member of sudo group? -- With best regards, xrgtn -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
