I susppect recent updates. It appears that Java/nsplugins/Firefox is causing the system to hang in F13. Has anyone else seen this behavior recently? -- Our peculiar security is in the possession of a written Constitution. Let us not make it a blank paper by construction." --Thomas Jefferso

The first time this happened with FC13 was last night. Now it happens every time, shortly after I open T-bird. I am using FC13 with FF 3.6.3. Please expand On 06/10/2010 10:52 AM, Ranjan Maitra wrote: > On Thu, 10 Jun 2010 10:37:25 -0500 "Dale J. Chatham" > wrote: > >

-Alt-BS did not work. Only reset. When it was crashing, I ran top and the top process was java, with its PPID nspluginswrapper. Obviously, 64 bit FF. It's been solid since. On 06/10/2010 10:58 AM, Frank Murphy wrote: > On 10/06/10 16:56, Dale J. Chatham wrote: > >> Th

I'm finding KVM VMs desktop painfully jerky. It's bad enough at 800x600, but at 1600 x 1100 (or whatever the res is) as all but unusable. When I ran vmware the performance was quite good. Are there any obvious gotchas, is there a better pick than KVM or should I just go back to vmware server?

I had a problem with firefox and java. Never really got rid of it, but if I restored the previous firefox sessino when I opened firefox, in about two minutes the machine would stop dead. Top when it died showed nothing useful except that java had the CPU (and a good bit of it). On 06/14/2010
