Hello,Just a thought, do you have a swap activated ? (there is a bug in edgy
a few days ago I upgraded my desktop machine (x86_64) to ubuntu/edgy
thus completely changing the userland. Since I'm using kernel.org
kernels I upgraded to a current kernel as well (2.6.19-rc4-git from Nov
4 and 2.6.19-rc4-mm2). Now, while working under X11, probably reading
email, all of a sudden the machine was not responsible any more and the
disk was spinning like wild. The desktop applet showed all swap being
used up then the display froze too and ~5 min later the machine came
back with the gnome-login screen: it had not rebooted but ran OOM and
several apps got killed.
