(Solved) Random Log Out

Usually about 2 - 4 times a day I get logged out and lose whatever I'm working on. No rhymn or reason to it. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? What logs to look at? Etc...:/
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite A105 S4284 at home on a wireless network. It's logged me out while surfing, building a presentation in Impress, doing command line stuff and OO Write.
Thanks

Re: (Solved) Random Log Out

What does /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /home/$USER/.xsession-errors have to say?

det, thanks.
I just looked at those files and nothing jumped out at me as the culprit. I'll wait until it happens and post the files.

I wonder if your problem could be related to this:

Re: (Solved) Random Log Out

loafer, that could be the problem since it only happens once on reboot. The subject's a little over my head so I'll need to do some research on how to display getty's and tty's..
Thanks
