Tom's questions

I'm running on a Ubuntu 10.04, and installed an 8.04 version in a directory /stuff/hardy

sudo debootstrap --variant buildd --arch i386 hardy /stuff/hardy http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

What I want to do is to get a working environment isolated from my linux machine (without installing into another partition).

My problem is, that when I chroot into it (sudo chroot /stuff/hardy) I notice that I have nothing in /proc or no network configuration. Also, if I try to go back to my home directory (inside hardy, not 10.4),

hardy# cd I get a /home/myuser No such file or directory

Is there an (hopefully easy) way to get an ubuntu install using debootstrap with no a lot of extra work ?

Thanks in advance

Here's the situation: Since I upgraded to 10.4 LTS, my gnome session unexpectedly ends: it logs off. This does not happen every time, but rather randomly. I've tried to force this event, suspecting it was some kind of unfortunate key-mapping thing: alt-enter, shift-enter, enter-end, etc. But no, I cant reproduce it.

Does this happen to anyone? I've googled around, but haven't found any solution.

Update: Here's the last part of my .xsession-errors file
