OS2006 with random reboots

[rattis]

Has anyone else noticed random reboots (usually happens while using Opera) with OS2006?

I have FBreader-mameo2, gpe-calendar, gpe-contacts, gpe-icons, gpe-todo, iphome, a bunch of libraries, load-applet, oss-xterm (advanced), theme6 and vim installed.

Just came off a refresh (because it was constantly rebooting).

I had some issues due to installing gweather plugin it would cause it to reboot but i uninstall it and problem gone.... maybe one of your applications is the cause.

That's what I'm thinking, but I know someone else who is having a similar problem. I'll have to ask what aps he has installed and see what correlates. I'm hoping that one of those will raise a flag, and someone else will say which it is.

Random reboots seem to be an unfortunate "feature" of 2006 OS. There is an existing thread (no solutions though, just complaints :D )

I am not sure about that I am not having that problem and I do put in heavy use in my Nokia 770...

Well I just talk to soon...
I just got rendom reboot as well and looks like it does it when there is to much stress in the system.

Same here. Not only reboot but constant reboots. It would boot if I left an area that the AP was not visible or hold the home key during boot.

I just notice that as well where the AP will go offline and the Tablet would reboot...
Could this problem be wireless related!?!

:) I think that the problem of 'Constant reboots' are Machine specific. I have a Nokia 770 from January 2006, made in Estonia. So far I had about 5 reboots maybe, in last 7 months. I have GAim, Xterm, Vim, few themes installed. I move easily from AP to AP while I travel,( while driving, I would simply turn on the Nokia 770 just to see if there are any APs are availble anywhere around at all) , use the Games, Surf the web as I please ( Cnn, Yahoo, Excite, Hotmail, Ebay etc.) listen to .mp3s, generally mess around with it. I also had Gizmo installed but I uninstalled it because I did not like it very much. I use GAim, to use Yahoo chat sometimes. So far other then the possible number of reboots mentioned above I have not faced too many ' reboots ' trouble. :)

well I just ssh to my tablet and I found that a lot of process are running several times in the system...
So it could be that the system is not shuting down the process correctly causing the system to over load at some point...

I had 4 media-server running, 3 music-player, 2 hildon-input-medthod, etc... and the list get bigger.

If I am running only one instance of Music Player they shouldnt be 3 instances of music-player running....

I haven't done much exploring on the thread model on the 770, but being it is linux.... when an application has multiple threads running (ie, being able to download a file while still letting you browse the web), those threads will show up in the process list as multiple instances of the main application. I'm still trying to follow the DBUS, but I'm betting there's some threading going on in being able to receive messages off the bus.. and those messages are things like "full screen button pressed, volume key pressed". I'm sure someone else can clarify and/or correct me.

Yes but you have one process like media-player running and shows that same process running 3 times you have a problem! I am not talking about several instances usage like browsing would or other input ps... I understand that and how it works but media player should not use 3 instances of the same process because it only needs along with some others...
