Well, I'm back running Xfce, and I'm hopeful. Some things are still behaving strangely though:
gnome-power-manager says I have 610697 hours and 25 minutes left on my battery. My other battery life estimates are sane. I think there are several bug reports for that though. My computer failed to restore from suspend an hour or so ago. I don't know why. It happened after I installed the latest acpi update, but that might be a coincidence. Since I've rebooted I haven't had a hiccup; I'm running one of the WM's that I've known to fail, with all my usual applications, and so on. Suspend/Restore and gnome-screensaver remain to be tested. I've noticed that mythtvbackend, mysqld and a few other mythtv procs are running in background. Is the TV adapter you mentioned mythtv related? Should I just kill -9 them, or is there some setting I should try fiddling with first? I can also see the indexer icon in the gnome system tray as well. I've now set it to 50% throttle and told it to use slower indexing. ksoftirqd/1, klogd and friends seem to be behaving. Firefox 3 is still a resource hog, but hey, whatcha gonna do. :/ Thanks for your help. When I saw that the latest post on this bug was months ago I wasn't holding out much hope of a fix. At times I was considering chucking Ubuntu and converting to Slackware. I've postponed that for now (my Slackolyte friends will not be pleased). -- Hardy Heron locks up https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249123 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
