The leak appears to be in evolution-mail inasmuch that killing that process frees up the system.

Action: derek forgets i.e. i dont recall which partition to fsck egads egads? dneighbo@latitude:~/cvs/hcs/www/forms$ egads bash: egads: command not found dneighbo@latitude:~/cvs/hcs/www/forms$ doesnt seem to give listing of devices ;) sigh i think 1 is dos 2 is swap 3 maybe... fdisk /dev/hda p d err fdisk /dev/hda then press p then q p is print partition table q is quit (don't do the d :) i think its 3 as i did taht and its seems to be working ah sounds good all of mine are 3 dneighbo@latitude:~/cvs/hcs/www/forms$ fsck hda Parallelizing fsck version 1.18 (11-Nov-1999) dneighbo@latitude:~/cvs/hcs/www/forms$ p er fdisk duh tterb (brett@sense-sea-MegaSub-1-724.oz.net) left irc: "ircII EPIC4-2000 -- Accept no limitations" same thing then death and distruction i think its time to just wipe this machine huh? fsck cleaned things up but it did same thing at linux boot the 5 second thing and then death can you actually get at the machine w/the boot disk? explain anything important on that machine? no i already considered it lost ah i ALMOST had it completely setup to be my new machine when mb went out the windows side yes willl suck to reinstall windows stuff, but i dont use much on there so not really a big deal i am just worried maybe the board before wasnt the problem but rather the RAM though its a tough call hmm windows and linux both freaking out but changing motherboard and processor is pretty big change Action: derek reaches for the trusty debian cd's asdfjosajf;laksjdfl;kadsjfasd f'lsdkjfsdaljfsad its not recognizing the cdrom argh time to bitch slap this thing the mb or the install cd? searching for boot record on CDROM..... and nothing from the mother board will swap out cable grrrrrr i know this cdrom worked in other machine today i hate hardware fsck no luck new cable wtf so the cdrom isn't seeing the cd are you sure the bios is set to boot from cd first? did you eat your Wheaties this morning? bios goes floppy, cd, ide0 but it did identify the cdrom in the IDE scan? comes up CDROM in ide scan secondary master have you used that CD to boot a machine before? sigh I'm sure it's something obvious :) Action: jcater is thinking Searching for Boot Record from CDROM it seems to light up um no i just got this mb i am just cursed thus why i LOATHE hardware trying to boot windows again i might try doing floppy to start with then over to cdrom hopefully that willl work, but not being able to boot from cdrom sucks yeah what machine are you on now? ? talking to you on my laptop ok so you have a machine to make a boot floppy with? :) i have a boot floppy ok im starting to really suspect the memory is jacked TY (tareq@ADSLP36-NV-p86.adsl.netvision.net.il) left #gnuenterprise. i hate this floppy install dont recognize it neither guess i try master/slave i dont know what else to try jcater does master go on the end or in the middle of the cable? or does it not matter it shouldn't matter unless you have the devices set to "Cable Select" (which I DO NOT recommend) sigh made is slave on the machine and bios again recognizes it but it wont boot cant find anything i have a REAL hard time believing its the CDROM i tried afew redhat boot disks and a few debian all no dice i think im ready to say F it as i have no idea how to troubleshoot it from here i suppose i can try to find another CDROM and test it with that but this is a known working cdrom sigh i guess the mb and cpu go back... Action: derek is currently listening to : 14-15=( %s 15| 0:00 )15=14- i think this is an evil ploy as they will only give me 'credit' and i walk out with more than what i return :( --- Sat Mar 2 2002
