Comment 26 for bug 107188

Hi

I just got this same problem. I do not have any wireless configured, I am connected to a LAN router. I did not lose connectivity after the crash, and I am in fact writing this from my Kubuntu system, that seems to work fine.

After confirming I wanted to uninstall those old packages it just stopped working. Before I got any crash report I tried to open a folder clicking on it on the desktop, but it wouldn't work. Just waited there until I got that out of memory error message and a moment afterwards Konkeror finally opened.

These are the packages that were to be uninstalled:
libgnucrypto-java
libgtkhtml3.8-15
libjaxp1.2-java
libkexif1
libpq4
libsasl2
libstlport4.6c2
python-elementtree
wlassistant
xkeyboard-config

--------------------------------------
This is the error message I got:

And here are the log files:

I have 22GB of free HD, 1GB RAM and 2.2Gb swap.

I cannot say if my system will reboot, but I'm about to find out!
