RZ> http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0912.0/02272.html Oddly, I just today had one of those "oh duh" moments. So when firefox froze again I killed pulseaudio and sure enough firefox immediately came back to me. Which means it was definitely tied to the sound. I didn't see anything in that message, however, that lead me to any new thoughts on what I should test. I don't have any kernel circular looping reports like the one shown in the message above. Nor do I have extra audio stuff plugged in at all. RZ> In my case I am finding it can have very funny effects, like compiz RZ> segfaulting. Yeah, it's amazing how dependent we are on sound these days :-/ On my recently upgraded mythtv system I end up having to kill pulseaudio before starting the mythfrontend as well. -- Wes Hardaker My Pictures: http://capturedonearth.com/ My Thoughts: http://pontifications.hardakers.net/ -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
