    What the R^&% Happened?

    I moved some video files to a fedora samba server and when I opened one tonight my screen went black and my hard disk went nuts. I saw something about caught unattended installation right before my system rebooted.

    I found this under auth.log
    Aug 29 02:59:39 polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session2 (system bus name :1.30 [/$

    Did my system just crap out or ?

    May be you have a bad sector in your hard disk or hard disk crashed.

    Just out of curiosity, what graphics card do you have installed?

    Code:
    lspci | grep VGA

    Thumbs down Re: What the R^&% Happened?

    VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200

    I opened the file since without a repeat... it just worried me that it said unattended installation caught and that entry in my auth.log that I had not seen before.

    I set the samba server to only accept connections from my ip and my shh on the fedora server requires a key+password. I don't think I have any services that should open ports on my ubuntu machine.

    You should continue to keep an eye on the logs, but it is quite likely this was a one-time incident.

    The message about
    unattended installation
    is normal and nothing to worry about there.

    What version are you using, as there is a bug in policykit for maverick (10.10).
