I mainly use BlueFish, Geany, and Firefox. I've notice that the terminal is also slightly slower. I am not sure why, because I didn't install/update anything before this strange lag started. In Firefox, its slow to start, load (non Flash) pages, and sometimes just crashes. I asked the students to run Firefox through the terminal to get any error and a student got this after a crash: (Gecko:20069): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.2/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 20069 Killed "$prog" ${1+"$@"} (Gecko:20069): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Geany has been notably slower when you try to execute a program. It can take up to a minute for the output window to pop up. I've noticed the slowness when students are on the computer and even when they're not. I updated Firefox hoping it would help, but it didn't. (I am thinking Firefox 2 would be better, but I don't know how to install an old version of it, with yum, yet.) I did a #gdm-restart and it seemed to have done the trick for a little while. I tried Geany and it was the same thing when I tried to execute. Sometimes it takes up to a minute for the output screen to pop up. I am not sure what to do and the lag has caused a student to stop working on his C++ program. It frustrated him too much. Any ideas on what could be causing this? <hr />Turn email contacts into buddies, and you could win. <a href='http://www.messengerbuddies.ca/?ocid=BUDDYOMATICENCA22' target='_new'>Enter today.</a></body> </html>
