Dear all, I have been working on my debian 5.0 (on CQ45-137Tx laptop) since I bought it (January-2009). It had been working quite satisfactorily. However, for last few days, I have been facing an irritating (misc) problem:
following actions take much more time than usual. (e.g, 20 to 30 seconds in opening a 1K file in vi) : Opening a new terminal, opening a file in vi, opening a file (e.g., a pdf document) etc.... Once opened in vi, the system works normally while editing, no problem of speed.... Opening another terminal from an existing one also opens fast. But, opening a fresh terminal again (clicking on the shortcut or through Application-Accessories->,...... takes a very long time again.... Pl note that, on the same machine, this problem is not observed during a KDE session or on a console (non-X mode), also not on the Windows-7 (dual boot). Hence, it can be inferred that, the problem is with X of Gnome only... But, where? I request you to suggest, pl. -- Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
