Hello all,


now that my Fedora 8 is fully set up, I notice periodical short
hangs of the Desktop, making its use quite uncomfortable. `top` tells me
that the X and Nautilus processes are eating up to 30% of CPU every
15-20sec approximately (I can hear some disk activity as well).

Sensors applets are configured to poll on a longer period basis so it's
probably not them. No cron activity has been set. Anyway, I was running
the same applets with my Fedora Core 5 and GNOME and never encountered
such behaviour before.

For the record, nautilus-action is installed and there are few mounts
(USB disks) visible onto the Desktop. I've tried closing all apps (but
GNOME Desktop) and this still happens.

Anybody has this too? Or any hint?

Hi wwp!

If you have a file called "nautilus-debug-log.txt" it may contain a clue.

No such file :). Nothing special in system logs either. Dunno if
Nautilus is culprit or not, but the GNOME Desktop is unusable here when
external USB disks are mounted, too painful. XFCE is not affected by
such illness. Or maybe I should try disabling some mount-related things
in GNOME or even Nautilus itself?

Hi wwp,

Probably not the browser.

Perhaps the USB and your video card are competing for resource space?
"/sbin/lspci -vv" (the last two letters are v and v) and "dmesg >
dmesg.txt" then abiword and then "tail dmesg" may find a clue.

The following link may be helpful:

Good Hunting!

OK, got some tips about the issue. I've disabled nautilus using
gtweakui (unchecked "Use nautilus to draw desktop") and the problem
doesn't show anymore (re-enabled and it shows again).
