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 
:)
