Crash testing
David Beale
I posted recently a question relating to hard drive data cables. I think
that problem is resolved but I am having problems with sudden, no
warning crashes. I feel the problem is related to FireFox, with screen
lock ups, no response to keyboard or mouse and occasionally complete
screen blank outs.
I know I should be able to get a report using a terminal.
Can someone give me the heads up on how to do this?
I am coming to grips with using the terminal but still get a bit wary
when entering areas I haven't used before.
Cheers
Dave

Hi David,
Purists will hate me for this but I think you should install midnight commander (mc) if it is not already installed. It will give you a graphical console that will allow you to visibly navigate around your entire HDD and view/edit/copy/delete/rename/move’etc files or folders, search for files or inside files for contents using wildcards and/or regex. You could easily navigate to /var/log and sore all the entries by date/time to see what logs got entries ate the time of the crash then view thos logs, as use the search function to find firefox entries.
You might want to disable all your firefox extensions to see if that stops your crashing then omit them one by one.
