Without synaptic running to my knowledge....

I have

joe at xxxxxxx:~$ sudo find / -name 'lock' -print
/home/joe/.mozilla/firefox/mnjh9z8y.Joe/lock

/var/cache/apt/archives/lock
/var/lock
/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock

find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for
/proc/11297: this may be a bug in your filesystem
driver.  Automatically turning on find's -noleaf
option.  Earlier results may have failed to include
directories that should have been searched.

On an earlier reboot after using SUSE -- I got a HAL
(Hardware Abstration Layer?) error too BUT NOT on this
login.

Thanks for the continuing help
