Yes I'm aware that's OOD, but I make heavy use of Groups, and updating would loose that capability.
What is odd? :-? The kernel?
After running Chromium for a while my machine locks up. Everyting freezes to the point where even the mouse movement does not cause the pointer to on the screen to move. There is disk activity as if the machine was threashing, but I know that situation with Firefox tab overload and the machine still responds to mouse movement and I can still hot-key Alt-F1 to a vtty, which I can't with this lock-up.
Open a terminal in the corner and run there "top". Keep it vissible, and watch what happens with RAM and swap.
Before I go hunting through bugzilla, I want to check that I'm not doing some misconfiguration thing. Has anyone been though a similar exercise, converting from FF to Cr?
Not me. I have Chrome installed, not chromium. I use it only when a particular site fails in FF, considering that Chrome is commercial and thus it gets better support from some sites (!). But I keep it under suspicion. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
