Hello list.

I have to use that abomination known as windows. It is a XP box. I use rdesktop to remotely log in to that machine.

Every once in a while Ubuntu will hang and I have to reboot my PC. It only happens when I am logged into rdesktop. My guess is that the screen saver is trying to turn on and it can't.

What I would like to do is get some debugging info. Anyone have advice on where to start? I looked at my /var/log/messages and dmesg and nothing suspecious there.....

The way I reboot my Ubunto is my doing the CTRL-ALT-F1 and using the terminal to reboot. I've tried killing all the processes etc...

Any help would be appreciated.

Particulars:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS - the Dapper Drake - released in June 2006
rdesktop: A Remote Desktop Protocol client.
Version 1.4.1. Copyright (C) 1999-2005 Matt Chapman.


Thanks.
