Linuxmint 11 Os Logout Issue

recently i notice, randomly - probably happened 3 - 5 times in the last 7 days i found Linux Mint 11 to just log me out - so when i log back in all apps have been terminated :unsure:i get a fresh Login... weirdalso does anyone know where does Linux Mint 11 (probably similar to Ubuntu's) store logs for events like these?cheers

Are you talking about the graphic or the command-line session?
If you have been logged out from an inactive command-line session, you should have a look at your timeout settings.
Just type the following :

set | grep -i out

and look at the values this displays for the TMOUT or TIMEOUT shell variable.

Well Sory but it did not work for me.I use it with su command .its based on ubuntu i think so i tried my best but failed.

So, this means that the timeout is not inside your shell user environment, it's defined somewhere else.

the GUI session, in my case Gnome on Mint 11... these logouts happens randomly... it hasn't happened since two days ago, but i'm just curious to know if someone has come across this

Same LogOut issueLinuxmint 11 Os Logout Issue

I was burning a Linux disc and checking the Updates and all of a sudden I was at the Log In screen. This is 2 times today! Using Linux Mint 11 with Gnome (Ubuntu based)

yea if this issue keeps happening i will have to shift to LMDE... i would like to see how good it's roll out updates go... i've been reinstalling everytime there's a Mint release, just like how i use to when with Ubuntu. Eventhough now you can upgrade versions, you'd more likely to stumble upon more glitches and issues compared to a fresh install.
