race_snooze Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I know wrong forum but hey most of us are nerds.... ok not all. Issue is ubuntu 8.4 64bit the beta ran fine, now the full version crashes with no syslog or log event at all, just random crash and I cant trace the issue. Now saying this I am a bloody sys engineer and cant find the issue.... and have googled for ever. Any help would be great, as need stable box to run vmware desktop 6 with a least 3 to 4 clients. (the box is strong nothing like work with duel quads and 16gig ram but close enough) Mick no bagging me out either with "what the" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/219353-calling-all-nerds/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
