Using an updated rawhide upgrade. I have noticed a few pecular items
with the operation of the system.
The system seems to slow down to a snails pace at times and may be
unresponsive. The processor seems to be overburdoned at times and
allows my usual 45 degree temperature for the processor to escelate to
higher than usual temperatures. Today, the temperature got to 80 C and
the system shut itself off. I run acpi.
CPU temp seems like a good indicator that some process has gotten stuck
in a loop and is using 100% cpu.
Using top will usually show the culprit.
Last time that was happenning to me it was /usr/bin/esd. It is
impossible to "rpm -e esound" because everything
claims to depend on it, so my solution was to "mv /usr/bin/esd
/usr/bin/esd.broken" and reboot. Sound seems to
work much better now.
