ERD Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 hello all, after (finally) successfully and completely installing & configuring LE2005 (10.2) on my laptop, ibe finally started using it to do some work, and ibe noticed some files "misteriously" appearing in my home folder, these are: core.13465, core.28101, and several other core.### files. they all have an icon of a little green bomb, and they are quite large in size! one of them is 74MB!! i know i dint put them there, so where did they come from? can i delete them? and, how do i stop them from appearing? is this the work of the devil? should i spill some holly water on my box??? :) thanks!

ERD Posted June 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 thanks for your reply, ibe followed the proceedure explained there, and (hopefully) i wont get those annoyng files anymore, however, theres something i dont understand. If i understood correctly, those files are core dumps made when an app crashes, but ibe never since i installed linux had an app crash in any way (God bless linux), so why do they appear if nothin crashed in the first place?

spinynorman Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 To check them out, you would need to use a debugger - but now they've gone, we'll never know... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
