Help with linux error

[delfinnium]

My linux is doing something strange -

Currently I have linux mint 9 (i'm not sure which version it is), and i don't think i did any updates or anything, but recently, it suddenly started showing this error and hanging:

Process: 291 GLib-warning **: get pwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id(0)

It first started last week, and then today it happened at least twice. Will I have to update my linux to Linux Mint 10?

:(

When did the problem start? Where does it hang? Have you asked on the Linux Mint forums, the Ubuntu forums, or Ask Ubuntu for help?

You could try upgrading maybe, although you seem distressed about the thought of having to.

Thanks for the advice! I decided to reinstall linux mint 9, not upgrade it. According to the Ubuntu forums I'd looked through, it all seemed to be a problem with linux Mint 10 especially, and I prefer the look of LM9. So... I'm sticking with it.

I guess I just won't let it update and not install too many things.

Okay ... sorry about that. ._. Better luck to you this time.
