Crash when trying to view log files

So i noticed my system time had stopped syncing and wanted to find out why. I went into ksystemlog and tried to view errors.log. Then my system crashed. I then killed all processes with the magic sysrq key and ended up in tty. I tried to view some logs in there too using vi, but nothing appeared and i had to kill all processes again. Then i checked out my system monitor when i was back in kde and tried $vi /var/log/errors.log and noticed that vi eats up all the cpu and ram when doing this. I also tried with nano and it did the same. Luckily i was able to kill them before i was oom.
The irony of this, i can't find anything from google under "system log crash". And i can't get into my logs to find out what is going on. The only thing i've changed lately is backgrounding "crond fam & kdm".
Any ideas fellars?
Oh i'm using arch-64 with kdemod 4.2.

Try a virtual console terminal.
Let's see what is there at all: ls -l /var/log
You might probably go root: su -
Then use less to review the error log in question.

  • Powerpoint crashes when trying to view the drawing toolbar

    Powerpoint crashes when trying to view the drawing toolbar (spinning wheel). Only option is to force quit.
    I've already tried resetting the toolbar and using the disk utility to repair permissions.
    I set up a new User Account on the Mac to test it, and everything works fine on the new account.
    How can I get it to work on my main user account (and also the guest account that's already set up)?
    Checking Microsoft's forum says if it works on a new test account to contact Apple Support.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Application corruption problems:
    You need to look in your user Library/Preferences for the .plist.
    Hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go To Folder" command. Enter ~/Library. Delete the .plist(s) for the application.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below. It does work with Mountain Lion:
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/22/access-user-library-folder-in-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Safari 5.0.5 freezes & crashes when trying to view pdf

    For some reason safari 5.0.5 freezes & crashes when trying to view pdf
    Any ideas how to fix this issue?

    Hi
    that's usually due to a plug-in over-riding Safari's built-in pdf support.
    Quit any browsers & remove any 'pdf...' plugins from either of these folders

  • Forms crash when trying to view a .bmp.

    I have 2 .bmp file uploaded to our database as a blob
    looking at the 2 files they are identical size, pixel, dpi etc.
    Yet in my system when trying to view the image through forms it one crashes the system and the other displays fine.
    I know it will relate to the image itself as if i resave as a .jpg it works fine.
    But i wondered if there was anyway to work out which aspect of the bmp it was failing on.
    I have tried this in XP, Vista, Win 7. various IE versions all resulting in same behaviour.
    I also tried an old legacy forms system we had running forms 9i on oracle 9i database and the column LONG RAW and this exhibits the same behaviour. i.e. displays one but crashes on other.
    So i know its not a user OS issue nor a Oracle version issue. But we run 10.1.2.3 app server and 10.2.0.5.0 database for record.
    I downloaded G.I.M.P image manipulater and no properties on the 2 .bmps are different.
    Thanks.

    Yes this will work but my customer wants an explanation as to why some will work and some will not. They have thousands of bmps they dont want to amend all another format.
    I can not find any oracle documentation re the correct bmp format that is supported.

  • Eclipse +flex 3 plugin crashes when trying to see mxml file in design mode

    Hi,
    I have strange problem I've been struggling with for 3 days.
    I have eclipse-jee-europa-fall2-win32(eclipse europa 3.3.1.1)
    + adobe flex 3 eclipse plugin.
    My workspace consists of several projects + one library.
    There is not problem when trying to edit any mxml file when
    my library is not imported yet. Once I import it to my workspace I
    cannot see any mxml file in design mode since it crashes with the
    following msg in log:
    Did anyone have similar problem and maybe knows the
    solutiuon? I've reinstalled/redownoaded eclipse, flex plugin, flash
    players and so on. What's more it happens only on my machine - same
    project on different one works without crushing.

    I've found solution by myself so I'll present it here. Maybe
    someone will need it.
    The problem of such behaviour was that Flex plugin always (at
    least on my pc) wants to ustart eclipse using its own JRE from here
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\jre (default dir).
    This environment is Java 5. When you go to
    eclipse>window>preferences>Java>Installed JREs and you
    delete default Flex JRE, add new to point to for example C:\Program
    Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04 eclipse still uses JRE from C:\Program
    Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\jre. Do not know why
    Flex/eclipse does that but if you simply overwrite C:\Program
    Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3 Plug-in\jre files with newer JRE from
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_04 all works perfectly.
    Hope it helps somebody ;-)
    thanks Artur

  • InCopy Crashes when trying to open InDesign file.

    InCopy just spins when trying to open an Indesign file and will eventualy cause InCopy to crash. When InCopy is then reopened the file will be recovered but the only tab available is layout view, both story view and gallery view are missing. The editor needs story view to make corrections.
    The designer sets up the file with InDesign CS6 v. 8.0.1 on a mac w/osx v.10.7.5 the editor was using InCopy CS6 v.8.0.1 but has received new hardware and is on v8.0.2 windows 7. One of our Editors does receive this message Adobe InDesign is missing required files, Please reinstall.
    We have upgraded editors hardware to allow more resorces.
    Please advise what may be the cause.

    Why would one of your editors receive a message about "Adobe InDesign is missing required files, please reinstall"? Aren't they using InCopy (not InDesign)?
    Re the InCopy crashes, it sounds like the INDD file might be damaged. You can test this by having the InDesign user create a new test document and export one story to the workflow. See if the InCopy user can open that INDD file over the network, check out the test story, make a change, save it, check it back in, and then the InDesign user update the story on their end.

  • Mail Crashes When Trying To View Message

    Mail both pre (10.5.1) and post leopard update (10.5.2) is having issues. Essentially it will open and I can see that I have new messages. When I click on the message nothing appears in the viewer, about 14 seconds later Mail crashes. It does this on both new and old messages, as well as the Apple RSS feed.

    As mentioned above, open up Console and see if there are any mail related crash messages. Check the All Messages log and the CrashReporter log for mail. When you open Console, if you don't see a list of logs in the sidebar, click the Show Log List button in the toolbar. You should see two sections. All Messages will be at the top and various log files will be listed below in the LOG FILES section. Disclose the ~/Library/Logs list and look for CrashReporter. Under it you should find some Mail crash reports.
    I had this problem previously, which I fixed by just deleting the offending email. However, in getting the instructions for you, I looked at my Mail crashlogs and found they were all WebCore issues.
    So, I searched these discussions for Mail Crashes and found lots of entries. Some pointed to To Do widget, others listed personal anti-spam by Intego, and finally, one linked to this article. Take a peek through those and maybe one of there solutions will help.

    Geoff,
    Go into your Lookout folder and look for the file "cbl.err". Open that file in notepad or wordpad and you should see where your errors are that are preventing your file from compiling.
    I got so used to Lookout generating the errors when a compile failed and displaying them immediately that I forgot about checking this file.
    Good luck!

  • FM9 crashing when trying to open book file

    Help!!  FrameMaker crashes when I attempt to open certain book files.  I am using FrameMaker Version 9.0 p255 on Windows XP pc.  Other details:
    This problem began mid April about 5 weeks ago.  Some book files are just fine while others crash the system. The internal error codes listed with each crash have overlap but are not identical (they all have at least 9004).  The last one stated: “Internal Error 9004, 5242025, 5220528, 6335542.  FrameMaker has detected a serious problem and must quit…”
    Attempting to open individual .fm files within the crashing book file does NOT cause a crash.
    Tried opening it through windows explorer and directly through Frame with the same result. 
    Failed fixes attempted per forums.adobe.com:  rebooting, renaming the linguistics library, deleting linguistic library in case it was corrupted (C:\Documents and Settings\jchen\Application Data\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\FMUserDictionary\all), changing book file name, replacing book file with a backup copy of the book file, and recreating book file.  In the past, replacing book file with an archived copy worked but most of the time it did not work.  Sometimes recreating the book file worked, but not always.
    I believe I cannot do a MIF wash since I need to be able to OPEN the book file first in order to be able to save it as a MIF file??
    Tried to install Frame 9 updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=22&platform=Windows, but got an error message stating, “You do not have correct version of FM install on your system.  This patch installer will work only with Version 9 p196.  Patch installer will quit now.”
    I’ve emailed [email protected] (per crash message window) and have not received suggestions on how to fix.  L 
    On a side note, my MS Word 2007 is acting super buggy lately… where when I try to do basic things like performing a “Save As”, etc., the screen goes blank or partially blank and takes some time to recover. 
    Besides reinstalling FrameMaker 9, does anyone have any suggestions?  Hoping to reach the root of the problem as this issue keeps resurfacing in slightly different forms.
    Thanks.
    Judy

    Judy,
    The 9004 code just means that FM9 crashed. The subsequent numbers provide some clue to engineering as to where the fault was, but can't be deciphered by anyone else. If these seem to be all different values, then this may be an installation or machine issue.
    The p255 version means that you have all of the patches applied.
    The fmerror mailing address is just a one way street, where Adobe keeps track of issues and looks at trends. They will never reply via this channel. Also, since they've been at FM11 for almost a year now, odds are that single FM9 issues won't be flagged as high priority items by engineering - that's kind of why us users have to help each other out.
    Since the individual files open properly and your system doesn't crash, then the problem sounds like it's either in the .book files themselves or you may have a system resource issue (you mention flakiness in Word too).
    If you re-create a clean book file from scratch, does it immediately crash or when you open it again? You could try saving the book file as a MIF at that point and trry working from the MIF. Also does there seem to be any pattern as to when (i.e. after how many open/close cycles) a book file will start to crash after you have recreated it or used an old, archived one?
    Do you have another machine (coworkers?) with FM that you could test the files on? If they don't crash there, then odds are it's something specific with your machine.
    With regards to resources, do you have significant free space available in your system TEMP area? Have you defragmented your drives? How much memory does your system have? Do these crashes occur at any time or after you've been working on the machine (from a cold start) for a while?

  • PS CS4 crashes when trying to open PNG files

    I am using a freshly installed CS4 on a freshly installed Mac OS 10.6.3. No extra filters, nothing.
    Now: whenever I export a PNG file from Illustrator via "Save for Web" and then try to open it in PS, the app crashes (endless beachball delight).
    The same happened with a GIF file from AI. Only JPEG files work. Is this a recurrent problem and, if yes, why?
    When I do the same at home with CS3, everything is fine.

    Meanwhile, I get a spinning beachball in any CS4 app whenever trying
    to open or save files, so I suspect a network issue (I'm on a large network).
    To your question: I'm trying to open a file in PS which I created in AI. This is quite common practice. Open, paste, place or whatever. It's all the same result.
    I already did the basic system maintenance. I don't think trashing prefs will be of any use as the same problem now also occurs in Fireworks and AI.
    Update: I localized the problem to either the network or the external Firewire drive I use for Time Machine. It's from the infamous LaCie brand and has already caused trouble with the finder.
    2nd update: When the network and the drive are disconnected, all open and save problems go away *but* the one with opening PNGs in PS when they were created in AI.

  • Word crashes when trying to open exported files from Acrobat.

    Hey.
    Im realy confused about this problem, I cant figure out if it a word problem or if it`s in Acrobat.
    When I try to open files in word that i have exported from pdf, word just hangs and goes in to "Not responding".
    I have tryed to uninstall office, and repaired/reinstalled Adobe Acrobat.
    Nothing works.
    Details:
    Running acrobat 9, office 2003 and Windows XP
    When i try to google this, alot of other users have had this problem but no one have come across a fix to this.
    Sorry for any grammatical errors.

    Something to try -
    Export the PDF to an RTF file and try to open the RTF with Word.
    Be well...

  • Newbie - Error when trying to view .jsp file on newly running server.

    Hello, I'm new and trying to view a .jsp file on my webserver and get this error:
    java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: javac -d C:\Blazix\jspdir -classpath C:\Blazix\blazix.jar;C:\Blazix\classes; C:\Blazix\jspdir\desisoft_jsp_intro_jsp1152122045640.java error=2
    *The .jsp file I want to view is in the correct folder, and I can view the same file if it is renamed as an .html extension.  Plz Help!!!   Thanks                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

    What does the JSP contain? Have you tried a simple JSP without any special functions? Does that work? How about catching the exception within the JSP. Will the JSP run and display correctly (of course, without the excepted content)?
    Here is an example of how you can catch the exception and prevent the JSP from failing (or at least how to prod it to display despite the error):
    <body>
       <%
       // yada yada yada some code
       try{
          // Yada yada yada the code that may have the IO problem
          // Yada yada yada
       }catch(IOException io){
           System.err.println("Here is the exception: "+io.toString());
       %>Please post back and let us know.
