Further information: I can decrease priority of a process (specifically g-s-m) but system hung very solidly on every attempt I've made recently to increase priority (set less nice).
When hung the busy/wait indicator spins and tracks mouse movement, but NOTHING ELSE responds, including mouse clicks or anything I've tried on keyboard, specifically including Alt+F2. I haven't been able to get into a terminal. (Note: This is a quad processor, so it looks like the entire user interface is locked.) I'll be glad to send a copy of anything you think might help, but I'm not a Linux/Ubuntu expert and with nautilus responding very slowly searching the file system is painful. -- SYSTEM hangs on increasing priority with g-s-m https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/389326 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
