Hello everyone,
I installed RH9 (Shrike) a few weeks ago. Recently, my web browsers have been
freezing every 10 minutes or so. The freezes never occurred before I installed RH9. As
far as I can tell, it's only web browsers that are affected-- XMMS, konsole, and
gkrellm are running almost all the time, and they never freeze.
For browsers, I've tried both Mozilla Firebird 0.6 and Opera 6.03. Opera seems to
freeze a little less frequently, but not by much. I have not been able to identify a
pattern to the freezes-- it happens for many different websites, and not repeatably
with any website.
I don't really expect that anyone will be able to solve this instantaneously
("Oh, just delete the browser.freeze file in /etc/irritations."), but I could use some
debugging suggestions. For example, I noticed that if I start the browser from a
command-line in konsole, I can always use ctrl-C to kill the window, whereas usually
when an application crashes, it won't respond to ctrl-C at all (at least in my
experience). This makes me think that I might be able to make the browser spit out
some debugging info to the command-line.
Some more details: by "freeze," I mean that the browser stops redrawing the
screen. If I switch to another application, when I switch back to the browser, the
other application's window doesn't get erased. Also, menus and links cannot be
selected, nor text entered.
The freeze usually occurs when I am moving the scroll wheel with Opera. Sometimes
it happens on startup with Mozilla Firebird.
Better send this before Opera freezes,
Brandon
