Since updating the kernel earlier this week, my keyboard has been really slow. I mean I could type faster than the characters would appear onscreen. This happened everywhere, in web pages, in emacs, even at a shell prompt in a terminal window. So finally today I checked some things and found (using "top") that "orca" was using 100% of a CPU (this laptop has 8 CPUs). "orca" was first a child process of "gkrellm" the first time I looked in "ps"; but when I looked (again in "ps") just a couple minutes later, "orca" was a child process of some "de-dup" process. That wasn't the entire name of the "de-dup" process, but only what of it I can remember. So I killed the "orca" process. I haven't noticed anything changing in the functioning of my system... except that my keyboard is now back up to speed; the characters appear onscreen as I type them, as they should. So I can say, "it's fixed." But I was wondering if anyone else has seen this problem. And what the heck is "orca" for...? why do I even need it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
