Symptoms
Suddenly, a message saying "A problem in the kernel package has been detected" started appearing after I login upon boot. A new message is shown every second, incessantly (translation below).
Translation:
A problem was reported
A problem in the kernel package has been detected
I don't know what's causing these messages to appear. How I get to obtain details about system crashes?
Specs
I haven't updated the kernel in the last 12 days (3.19.7-200.fc21.x86_64). Booting from an older kernel doesn't stop the warnings.
I have installed 5 new packages today: subversion-1.8.11-1.fc21.x86_64, gitk-2.1.0-4.fc21.noarch, git-gui-2.1.0-4.fc21.noarch, subversion-libs-1.8.11-1.fc21.x86_64 and libserf-1.3.7-2.fc21.x86_64
I have installed a few gnome extensions but I used them for a few hours with no problem before rebooting. I disabled the extensions and the problem persists.
What I tried
I believe these notification messages are part of abrt
. But when I tried to obtain more details, abrt-cli list
doesn't show anything for the current month.
dmesg
doesn't show anything suspicious (or maybe I'm misiterpreting it. I'll post a log).
As suggested on a comment, I checked /var/log/messages
, /var/log/syslog
, and /var/log/kern.log
:
The latter two aren't present. tail /var/log/messages
contains a lot (more than a thousand) of the following, repeated over and over again (with different timestamps):
