Hi. Here's the scenario:
I have a Dell Precision M4300, CoreDuo, 4GB RAM, two disks (40GB Solid State, 80GB SATA), and nVidia Quadro FX360M. I have installed Ubuntu Server with LAMP. I usually run Firefox 3.0.3 with Firebug, Scite or Bluefish, Pidgin, and sometimes GIMP. Besides the fact Firefox has issues with Xorg and eats up CPU, I had issues of 100% and computer freezing. Usually, the freeze melts within 45 seconds and the machine came back usable again, for about 20 minutes, and then freezes again. I navigated the whole internet looking for solutions, and none worked, until I found an article talking about GMail messaging and having issues with that. So, i disabled GMail from Pidgin (I only have Luca connected) and then voila, freezing is no longer happening, and the machine is usable again (besides the fact Firefox still eats round 40% CPU when scrolling a page). Hope this helps Cya. On Oct 30, 2008, at 12:39 AM, Luca De Marini wrote: > Hallo people, I received report from two of my developers about > pidgin having problems in Enlightenment.
