Bomb icon in GNOME? [solved]

[dmzeplin]

I just wondering what is "bomb icon with numbers? mean to you? I noticed there are Core.9313 and other one is Core.32061. I am not sure where or how to fix this? I must assumed something showed error system inside? :unsure:

They are just leftovers from crashed applications. Remove them in case you don't need them for recovering sessions or troubleshooting.

Interested... If Core.### come up, which program I can open it (or type in terminal) and see what it caused??

 

Thanks!

You can use gdb - there's a short introduction here. :)

In a terminal you can type:

 

file core.####

 

and it will give you a little bit of info including the program that caused it :)

Don't know if you can turn them off but you can just delete them. That's what I do :D
