Re: [gnome-love] a question from a humble user

A while ago the firefox in Ubuntu would lock up if you had xrender enabled do you have all the latest updates to Ubuntu or only what came on the CD?

Some days before,  i installed Ubuntu (hoary)in my laptop (Satellite
2100->K6-2 400, 128Mb RAM, 13" LCD [2 Mb vram], 30GB disk), but this disk
there was some bad sectors; even so i tried (the bad sectors was in the
middle of the disk , at the 15Gb "region", so i partitioned to use only
10GB), and i get the system run for some ... hours. :^\ Playing in internet
with Firefox my system locked up, and i decided to reset the machine, back
to the system, navigating internet and... locked again. I can´t certainly
remember, but i suppose CTRL+ALt+F2 was used to verify if there was any
message and for my surprise, by trying read a bad sector the system locked
up, that was the problem. After this scenario my questions are
a)would Gnome receive a message from kernel to inform the user a symptom
like this one?
b)would kernel close the Xwindow session and give to user a chance to read
the console messages? (remember, my system was locked...only reset turns the
system back).

Regards.
