Wierd Java Error Logs
« on: January 17, 2010, 10:42:07 PM »
I have a bunch (15) of random error logs in my Documents folder. All of them are called "hs_err_pid[NUMBER].log". The contents of one are attached (I would have included it, but my code tags aren't working properly). I have no idea what they are or why they're in my Documents folder. Any ideas? Is it safe to delete them (I'm guessing yes, because they're simple log files, but just to be safe...)?

These logs are created when the java vm crashes.  They are supposed to help someone debug the issue if you need to send it to a support site.  Other than that, you can delete them.  I took a look at the one you have.  I have no way of knowing why it crashed, but it looks like it was running a jar file located in:
/usr/share/soprano/sesame2

I don't know if this is an app you installed or a website running a java applet, but it might help you narrow down what is causing the crash.
