I installed debian/gnu linux for the first time a couple of months ago for the first time. (I had been a redhat user formerly. I got kde, apache2, ftp server, mail etc working and all was well. Then I decided to install kdevelop and its recommended packages. After that, the system started locking up periodically. I can operate, sometimes for an hour, sometimes for a day, but eventually it just locks up, often (but not always) upon opening a new window, or when resizing a window.
By "lock up" I mean the mouse will move, but has no effect on any windows, often a window will be outlined, but its contents will not be painted. No keyboard action has any effect, including switching to a virtual console. And ftp, samba etc connections from other systems do not respond. Sometimes it will get a bit sluggish briefly before locking up, sometimes it's without warning. I have deinstalled kdevelop and all that went on with it, to no avail. I've used top to try to see if I can find memory leak indicated etc, but see none. I'm at the point of reinstalling the operating system from scratch, then staying away from kdevelop. Help! How would I go about diagnosing this? What measures shy of total reinstall would anyone suggest? Thanks for any ideas.
