apport information
** Tags added: apport-collected
** Description changed:
Sometime, more or less every 3-4 minutes or when I start a new program, with
a relatively light load (chromium browser, thunderbird, one VirtualBox session)
the computers went into frenzy disk activity and grind to a practical halt for
the next minute or so. Very unresponsive, triggers the "this page do not
respond" warning from chrome or OOffice... then it resume.
I tried to track the culprit without any luck. Reducing vm.swappiness from 60
to 10 did not help. Cumulative atop for disk usage says:

This is a Dell n-series, core2 cpu, 2G ram, running a 32 bit kernel, ATI card
with fglrx module.
Never happened such a thing with Karmic, same load (I know, virtualbox
use half of the memory, but that was the same in Karmic, with no problem
at all).
The system is pretty unusable for work.
- Will try to reboot in an older kernel, using firefox, and downgrade
- virtualbox to try to find why, but if anyone has a suggestion, it's very
- welcome.
