Hello
I've been having a strange problem with configd and I was directed
here from another list with my question/problem.
My machine is 1.8 G5 (single), 10.4.1. configd keeps going into
state "Us" when viewed with ps -aux. This is a regular occurrence:
happens at least once a day, but usually more when it's being used.
It does not appear to ever get out of this state by itself and a
restart is required. KILL doesn't work and configd ignores -HUP.
This manifests itself by erratic sleep-related behavior (won't sleep,
won't wake up, can't mount external drives, ignores certain
preference changes) and if left in that state for a long time other
crazy things start happening: When typing the insertion point will
jump all over the place in a document, problems with iMovie, weird
stuff.
I've been through every level of troubleshooting: PRAM and
permissions; clean installs; removing/checking RAM; replacing video
cards, motherboards and eventually the entire machine. Name it, it
has been covered.
The problem existed on 10.3 and now on 10.4. It has been there since
day one on both machines.
I've been directed to use configd -dv, but that doesn't seem to
produce much output on 10.4. Others have said sudo sample configd 10
10. I don't know what to do with that. My Apple Store has
"escalated" this but I'm going to keep at it on my own.
Any ideas on what I might be able to do? This is really bizarre and
I'm not the only one with these issues.
Thanks, Heath Volmer
