When I notice, I kill pulse and wipe out its ~/.config files. Obviously, for testing ff/alsa I want it stopped anyway :)
NB I start pulse from .xinitrc because I don't have a DE to start it. On icewm, I eventually notice the red line at the bottom of the cpu window on the 'panel'. In xfce I think I would notice it in the cpu monitor. Meanwhile, and possibly related to Tim's later reply about a later kernel, on my haswell I've been seeing very slow or bursty network i/o causing terms to hang for several seconds (e.g. downloading a large package and saving it on nfs, or writing backups to nfs, or even just untarring firefox from nfs), that seemed to start a month or so back but was ok with _some_ kernels. Currently I've just built LFS-svn and am now running 5.0.2 (it's ok, it's an intel - I've seen a problem report for that version on amd) building Xorg. Will have to wait and see if the network sluggishness persists. Fun, isn't it. ĸen -- It is said that there are two great unsolved problems in computer science: naming, cache invalidation, and off-by-one errors. -- Ben Bullock -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
