I do sometimes get thrashing, where the disk light stays on almost all the time. Killing firefox usually cures this. But sometime I get no response at all when the system doesn't seem to be thrashing, and top doen't show any process with particularly high CPU usage. ctl-alt-F1 still works, and in this situation kolling firefox also restores normal system operation. This situation often (but not exclusively) happens when I close a tab that had an animation in it (such as youtube) It doesn't seem to matter whether the animation had already finished. -- hendrik > > On Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 4:57 PM, Hendrik Boom <[email protected]>wrote: > > > > My squeeze does similar lockups. killall firefox-bin or killall > > xulrunner-stub seems to be the cure.
