Jonas Olsson) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd Subject: X makes panics invisible Date: 27 Oct 1992 17:06:40 GMT Organization: Case Western Reserve Univ. Cleveland, Ohio (USA) Lines: 11 Message-ID: <1cjsv0INNitu@usenet.INS.CWRU.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: johnny5.eeap.cwru.edu I'm experiencing rather frequent panics(1-2 per day), but I can never see any panic messages as I'm running X. There is also no trace of panic messages in /var/log/messages. Instead the machine simply reboots and I have no clue to what caused it. Is there any way of getting the messages saved to a file? Or perhaps better, when a panic occurs, get the messages on the screen? On suns the messeges simply trash the X display, but it is at least possible to read them. Jonas Olsson ljo@po.cwru.edu
