I haven't been following this thread closely, but have you looked in the log file? For example, do 'grep -i error /var/log/messages'? And the dag repository has an atop rpm. You can run 'atop' to see if some resource, such as disk I/O, is being saturated. Steven Yellin On Thu, 17 Nov 2

Thanks Chris. Yes, the bash_profile is stock, but I'll try strace and give that a shot as well. Someone also suggested I see if there's an issue with DNS so I'll also look into that. On Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 1:07 PM, Christopher Tooley wrote: > I can see from your original email that I missed th

I haven't experienced this myself, but I can offer some possible troubleshooting tips :) See if it happens in xterm as well. If so, it might have something to do with your bashrc or bash_profile (if you're using bash, that is, others have different preference files) If it doesn't slow down in

Thanks for the suggestions Chris. The reason I think it's a global terminal issue rather than a GNOME terminal problem is that it also happens when I SSH in from my windows machine (which is on the same LAN). Also, programs running inside the terminal will slow down, for example top will refresh

Hi everyone, First time scientific linux user.  I'm having a strange issue that I haven't seen on any other installation.  Basically at random intervals, my GNOME Terminal (and/or any other terminals I'm using, for example SSH from another machine) slows down to a crawl.  This slowness doesn't see
