You really should upgrade to F25, simply because F26 is around the corner and 6 months after that happens, support for F24 will end and you'll be forced to go to at least F25 anyway. You might as well get it over with now. :-) > The only thing that I can do it to open a text terminal. > and restart the machine. > I do not see any wrong, except that there is a process > /usr/bin/gnome-shell > which takes 100% of cpu > Even if I kill it, the graphics does not recover. > It seems that there is always such a process running, but it does not charge > the machine. gnome-shell is a big part of the Gnome3 desktop. There are large numbers of anecdotal reports of it getting into weird states where it consumes all of the CPU and blocks other processes from getting resources. I don't know that there ever was a single cause of that behavior found. Killing gnome-shell will not necessarily free the machine up and make the GUI work as it is a significant component of the desktop and the real solution is to restart your desktop session somehow (perhaps by killing your session manager) or reboot. I rarely use Gnome3. Last time I spent time with it (granted, it was at least a year ago), it looked like it was designed for tablets and I don't care for that metaphor on my main systems. I've never gotten fond of KDE and I've never really done anything with the other desktops that others swear by. I'm an old f*rt and I liked the old Gnome2 desktop, so I use Xfce (which is fairly close to the way Gnome2 worked and felt). (putting on my flack jacket and helmet to await the inevitable onslaught of Gnome3 and KDE lovers hurling grenades and tactical nukes in my general direction) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Grabel's Law: 2 is not equal to 3--not even for large values of 2. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
