This bug happened to me once or twice (I am not sure if they were the same bug).
The first time, I was using Ubuntu Intrepid + Xubuntu Desktop. It once crashed for no obvious reasons. After rebooting, Xfce ran emtremely slow. It took about 20 minute to display the desktop, with blanks here and there, totally unusable. I simply formatted the whole partition then, as I didn't want to bother with unknown bugs. The second time, just now, I was using a clean installed Xubuntu Intrepid. Right after I rebooted with Chinese language support (with input methods, basic translations and additional fonts) installed, it became very slow again, but not as slow as the first time it had been. SCIM seemed to eat up all RAM and SWAP space. I took quite some time to undo the install, and the speed restored. There's one thing that might be related. I had been annoyed with the double-SCIM-instance problem. Someone told me that I could modify the first line in /etc/scim/global (which is "/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8" by default) to use the desired locale so that only one instance of SCIM would be launched. It had worked before, but it could be the culprit here. -- 7.10: very high memory use on startup by SCIM https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157308 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
