Havent used my Netbook for a few weeks. Booted up last night and
installed 94 updates. Now whenever I use streaming media (
shoutcast in Exaile or Youtube in Firefox) The HD clicks like
crazy.
There was something like EXT3 daemon issues or many versions of the
same desktop search software running at the same time. At the command
line type 'top'. See if there are multiple processes running in
there. Find and kill the process with something like 'ps ax | grep
[name of process]' Or, for SSH .... ps ax | grep ssh. If SSH is
process ID 5678 then you type 'kill 5678' to kill it.
Ideas please.
Could be something else but the above seems like a good place to start
:)
