Hi list, in order to find out why Opera often keeps hanging (doing nothing), often for several minutes, I checked its top(1) output.
Reading "man top", I found the following explaination: [...] STATE is the current state (one of "START", "RUN" (shown as "CPUn" on SMP systems), "SLEEP", "STOP", "ZOMB", "WAIT", "LOCK" or the event on which the process waits) [...] When Opera just hangs(TM) :-), it is in one of the states "ucond" or "umtxn" - and sucking up to 100% WCPU. Here is my question: Is there an explainative list that gives a clue about what this state indicates? Where are these "event[s] on which the process waits" documented? When I could guess, then I'd say that "ucond" means "unconditioned", "in no condition" (which would be a very strage state - the absense of any state), and "umtxn"... um... USB mass storage transmit number? No idea. Other states that I see have a more descriptive name, such as "pause", "select" or "getblk" and even "kqread". Setting: I have opera-9.63.20081215_1 on OS 7-STABE from August 2008.
