Thanks Milan, Sorry, running 3.12.2
And sorry again, I am not a linux tinkerer but just a user. I will have to really think about how to do what you have asked. Maybe I can.. but then again. I am not sure if just trying to switch to calendar gave the freeze. Other times it will freeze for no apparent reason. I will be sitting doing something else (not working with E) and I notice that the CPU fan starts running harder so I check the monitor and the CPUs are at maximum and E is the only process running but it is running at maximum. Again a reboot will fix it. It doesn't do this too often. Every day or so. I am going to have to learn the error log system on linux.
