Is there a way to force it to check? The man page doesn't say. In the rescue cd, fsck quickly said "it's ok" without checking. Is it safe to delete the corrupted files in /var/log? I already deleted viminfo after it got corrupted the first time, but it happened again.Ģ. What happens if you try to delete the corrupted files and restart ? Does it become corrupted too every time?Ĥ."X sometimes won't start, I get a black screen and I need to power down by holding the power button." -> Which driver/kernel/xorg version do you use ? I've experienced such a situation with the nvidia-185.18.31 driver.ġ. "I ran the system rescue cd and fsck'ed both partitions" -> Did you get any direct filesystem error message from the system?ģ. "On my home partition I only found that viminfo got corrupted twice" Sometimes, it occurs by me too, I delete this file then, but it's a rare situationĢ. Could it be that this hard shutdown while the files are open for IO corrupts them? This sounds plausible to me, but such thing never happened to me before.ġ. If X starts correctly, the log is normal. After I restart the xorg log is corrupted. X sometimes won't start, I get a black screen and I need to power down by holding the power button. Now here is the connection to my second problem. I ran the system rescue cd and fsck'ed both partitions (ext3), but it says there are no problems. ![]() On my home partition I only found that viminfo got corrupted twice, again containing some random stuff which should be in other files. Then I found most of the files in that folder are not ascii text as they are supposed to, but 'data' and even more corrupted. It even contained some log entries which weren't normal xorg logs, but looked like the output I get when the kernel loads. 'less' warned me that the file might be binary and indeed it was gibberish. I discovered this after X was not starting and I checked the Xorg.0.log file. Instead, some are normal, some contain non-textual data. These files should contain text and should not be recognized as 'data'.
