A crash has occured (now or in the past)

[strycat]

So for the most part my upgrade to 11.10 has turned out pretty good. The problems I was having in 11.04 have been resolved. However I keep getting a message that a crash has occured (now or in the past). About 50% of the time something pops up asking me to submit a report. Is there some way I can find out what the other 50% of the stuff is that is crashing? I'm guessing it is something that runs in the background b/c I'm not seeing anything I'm using die.

Thanks in advance.

Run Ksystemlog. It will show you what crashed, and when.

Mine is about Akonadi .....I clicked the check box to forget it..........and forgot it

Re: A crash has occured (now or in the past)

I have Oneiric running as a guestOS in VirtualBox and it is working perfectly for me there.

I am running Lucid (10.04) and it, too, is working perfectly for me.

The next LTS won't be released for another 8 months.

I could continue to run 10.04 till then, but KDE 4.7.1 is making my mouth water

Biting my tongue, I am reluctantly holding off until the next LTS. After I install it. I will stay with it for the next two years. I will, that is, only if this notebook holds out. It's three years old and showing its age. At the end of the next LTS it will be six years old. The CDROM doesn't work reliably and the USB CDROM that works fine on my wife's Acer One has the same problems that this onboard CDROM has, so the problem is probably somewhere in the mobo circuitry. The keyboard lettering is rubbing off, as is the silver coating on the bezel where the heels of my hands rest. It's beginning to look like April, 2014 is going to be a pivotal year for me and computers. I suspect that it will be time to replace this box. Or, I can give it as a gift to one of my grandsons and buy a new one next spring. Decisions, decisions, decisions...

If you find the crash reports annoying, you might want to disable apport by editing /etc/default/apport and changing the line "enabled=1" to "enabled=0".

Same here. It doesn't occur often, but it does occur.

Thanks. It appears to be an issue with mysql, apparmor_parser, akonadi, and nepomuk. I'm not sure if they're all related or each individually having problems. Other than mysql I don't even know what these applications do.

If you are not using the PIM then you can remove them.
