I have set top running on virtual terminal 2. I previously ran it in konsole, but I guess as that's a GUI app it might not show me what's happening to the system.

The same goes for the widgets that show CPU and disk activity, unfortunately :-(
So even though gkrellm shows the increased number of processes, the lack of information on CPU usage, memory, swap etc is unreliable?
As you say, its running under konsole, the GUI, and if the GUI is affected then so are its children & spawned processes, or at very least the ability of the GUI display to keep up with them.
What's frozen?
Running 'top' on a vt, outside the GUI, avoids the whole issue.
The freeze just happened again. [Ctrl][Alt][F2] to where htop was running resulted in a rather scrambled display, so even a vt is not immune. Two processes seemed to be using a lot of processor power, namely kwin_X11 using 100% of one core, and /usr/bin/Xorg which was initially using >90% of a core, but then settled down to <1% after kwin_X11 took over. Stable doors and bolting horses comes to mind. ;-) Bob - -- Bob Williams System: Linux 3.16.7-7-desktop Distro: openSUSE 13.2 (x86_64) with KDE Development Platform: 4.14.3 Uptime: 06:00am up 7:55, 3 users, load average: 0.16, 0.05, 0.06 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlUmbswACgkQ0Sr7eZJrmU4SawCbB8o4x2JJPK1XjhuU+KemKHE+ OMgAn2qeCcWXb+Z3tHQhzwPlEzmjWaiN =HXPl -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
