Seeing as you point it out, has ANYONE got ANY idea why my laptop keeps randomly changing the time by a number of hours, possibly when suspending? It's a Dell Latitude CP running Linux Mandrake 8.0, if it's relevant.
My Advent running RedHat 7.2 often loses several minutes at a time. Much more annoying is the touchpad/keyboard. I can typing away and suddenly I'qqll get lotqqs of qqq's everywhere or an odd <F3>q and then just to make it bett
And whilst we're on the subject, any ideas why the suspend will quite often 'hang' when suspending, and quite quickly show a completely garbled
screen?ter it starts typing away somewhere else entirely! (read that last paragraph carefully to understand the problem.) The other problem is related. In Galeon, I often get <F3> actioning a menu shortcut and opening the Open File dialog. VERY annoying. In KMail or other text windows, suddenly everything goes into block capitals (without the Caps Lock light coming on!) In Sokoban, the multiple q interruptions mean I can NEVER finish a game! It just quits without any direct input. This has happened with Mandrake v7-8 and RedHat 7.2
Oh, and if you want to make it a hat trick, why does my sound card stop responding randomnly, possibly after a suspend? I can only fix it by rebooting (erghh, reminds me of the Bad Old Days), despite restarting every (vaguely) relevant service.
Suspend doesn't work. Simple.
And I shan't ask what happened to the 'cat' command... I think that's just coz my system is seriously screwed!
Check if /var/log/messages still exists. When suspend crashed this system yesterday, it was suddenly transformed into /usr/kde/ somethinq.g (See, q's everywhere.) ( usr/lib/kde3/kcm_kdf.la/messages actually) http://www.dclug.org.uk/archive/msg01337.html If anything like that is happening to you, backup whatever data is still intact.
