System logs out user without user input!

[muungwana]

you were supposed to post the contents of the log after you were kicked out in the previous session.

Those logs do not have any errors in them, suggesting they came from  a session that was normally shut down.

The log should have (EE) entry in them like this from the thread linked above

The failure to recover from an error is what is kicking you out of the session.Your logs dont have this info.

Everything is back up and working perfectly now - thanks muungwana. Although if I exit from the boot splash I get a weird comment - "cannot open file delete" - any ideas?

Never got that error msg before, but a quick glance from the thread linked below suggests the live cd changed something on your hard drives.

comment 11 is more precise,the message came from the live cd changing UUID of the swap partition.

modifying fstab entry to reflect its new value should solve it.

you can get values of UUIDs and their their corresponding partitions by runnnig "blkid" command from the terminal.

Ignore it.
It is present on most installs and affects nothing I am aware of.

Just17 - will do, although the system seems noticeably slower to boot. Not that I am too bothered, but something has changed.

muungwana - sorry if it is the wrong log file, but the issue happened a little while back (only get logged off every now and then) so haven't had the chance to catch it in the act so to speak. If it happens again then will immediately look at the logs you suggested.

Thanks everyone for your help. Will now wait and see if the OS misbehaves.....
