Howdy all,
I run rsync in a console (BASH) from time to time, usually from a script file. I have found that on my KDE 4.8.2 box that KDE hangs up in the following way from time to time. It won't switch desktops when I click or use the Alt-function key key stroke, it won't show the popups from plasmoids, and it won't switch applications using alt-tab or clicking on them. In effect, it makes multi-tasking impossible for the duration of the rsync.
It usually hangs for about 5 minutes and then anything I have clicked on during that time will pop up and it will function ok for about a minute or so before hanging again.
In 4.7.2 I remember my machine going slow when using rsync, but not totally hanging. I just upgraded a week or so ago.
Here is my system: Box #1: 12.1 | KDE 4.8.2 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | nVidia 8500GT | 4GB RAM
I have not tried running my rsync script in a tty instead of Konsole, so I don't know if the issue is with Konsole or with KDE in general.
What other information do I need to post here to help communicate the problem?
George
Hi George, What is the exact command you're running that triggers this behavior? What is the result of (as root): cat /var/log/messages | grep /dev regards, Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
