whoa! i dunno what's wrong with firefox. a little more than yesterday, i saw an update, when i installed it, the update manager warned me that this was not signed in or something. pre-occuped with my work i foolishly cared not to read the warning and slapped that ok button with my mouseclick. i kept workin. in the morning around 10 am when i got back to work and booted my machine, this thing became slower and more unresponsive than me after a lazy afternoon lunch of makki di roti, sarson da saag tey makhan.
i had my hands off the keyboard patiently waiting for 15 to 20 minutes for the hardisk to stop spinnin', the system to get back to me. it seldom did. i coud not even get a console on F2 or 3 without atleast a 5-minute wait. those figures aren't exaggerations. alarmed, i ran top that took ages too. i noticed openoffice, amarok, and firefox were swapping themselves in and out like atm cards in a lone kiosk on diwali eve. that's all they could do: dance. took me another 5 minutes to kil them. been plagued with the problem since the whole day. finally, have just booted into faithful ol' breezy badger to restore normlacy in my work. gosh! badger looks so archaic. the apps are so old. yeesh! i wonder exactly what happened to my system. top does not show anything wrong. ? n _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
