Bug#368546: general: remarkable slow-down of whole system after 4-6 hours
Package: general Severity: normal i'm very sorry to report a other/general bug but because i could not figure out which package is responible for the behavior i try this. my system slows down after some hours of activity (4-6). i use that system as desktop, using linux 2.6.16, xorg (dual screen), gnome, sawfish and severly tools (i.e. vim, firefox, gajim) mostly for development. since an upgrade (i think to the xorg system with seperated packages for drivers) i notice a slowdown of the whole system after some time. the load in top shows values of 2 and more without any program running (after closing firefox, vim, etc) while the system is 98% idle. no noticable memory is used (the system has 2GB ram), swap is mostly unused. opening a window takes seconds. switching focus shows visible drawing of the highlighted frame. after a x-restart the system is faster but only for a short time. all this looks to me like a memory leak. but where? system ram is not used. it looks it could be related to sawfish, xorg or linux itself (agp module?). i use dual screen only at work and i think (its just a feeling) that with only one screen the system stays fast longer. i tried google to figure out if someone else has this problem without any success... can you point me where to look for the bug or what to do? i'm neither a x11 nor a linux developer but a quit good c programmer - can you help me in tracking down what's going on? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#368546: more information
after another slowdown last week i installed metacity. i killed sawfish and started metacity without X restart. immediatly everything was fine. so i assume this is a bug with sawfish. probably not with sawfish itself but the integration of sawfish with gnome (and/or my settings). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: ISDN problem ....
> This doesn't sound like a problem relevant to debian-devel. > is this one? :) when installing isdnutils from slink, MAKEDEV complains about device names - something like 'don't know how t mail isdnctrl0' or something (don't remember exact device name). -- see header pgpoauA7gOJ8i.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: APT 0.1.6 is released!
> Please test out this new release of APT; we hope everyone can enjoy > it! this apt is really great! thnx alot for your work (just for not only sending bug-reports on apt)! it worked out to exchange sendmail for smail without any problem. ok, it trashed my nfs, but this may be a packaging problem. where are the other parts of apt, the frontend and the like? is it possible to look at those programs in a early state of development? -- see header pgpPKQOZI0wTF.pgp Description: PGP signature
slink and nfs question
i lost the thread with this nfs-questing depending on the new package nfs-server. i ran into the same problem while installing slink and lost nfs this way. i then installed the new package and now got both scripts in /etc/inint.d/ and all links (netstd_nfs and nfs-server). i don't think, this is intended - so is this a bug? -- see header pgpm77pHdzb0G.pgp Description: PGP signature
