Hello, This happened once before in Kubuntu, though this time I was more alert and know what I did right before this happened. So what did transpire?
I sent my laptop into sleep mode via the popup menu on the battery monitor in KDE. It did this, however, when the machine came out of sleep mode, there was no monitor. It wasn't on. I tried my basic set of tricks: try and change the screen brightness; try and switch monitors via the key combo on the laptop; close the lid and re-open it; press the key combo to turn the monitor off; press the key combo to go back to sleep mode (didn't work). Eventually I picked a button that did work: POWER. The system shut down normally! After X11 died, it went back the the framebuffer and acted like nothing had happened. However, right after this, KDE has been acting *really* slow. Much slower than it should. # top revealed that artsd, xorg, and kded were eating cpu time. This is the same behaviour as on Kubuntu before. I suspect the cause was the same, however, I don't remember exactly so I won't point fingers. Do any of you know what this is? Do you think if I recompiled xorg, kde, and arts if it'd fix the problem? Or, even better, is there a way to axe all the configuration settings and see if that fixes the problem? Please help, I think it's affecting Gnome as well (scary!) Thanks for any input you can give! -- ========== GCv3.12 ========== GCS d-(++) s+: a? C++ UL+>++++ P+ L++ E--- W+(+++) N++ o? K? w--- O?
