if kill -9 doesn't work... you have a kernel problem. basically e is trapped inside a system call that refuses to return for any reason. often device driver reasons. the best you can do is try gdb attach and/or strace the pid and see where it's stuck. but chances are that the bug reports belongs to your friendly local kernel package maintainers given your description. without any other information there is little more to say beyond this. > Hello guys, > > Since a few days I have some unpredictable problems with e17 on my gentoo : > the desktop freezes very weirdly.
