Howdy all,

I run rsync in a console (BASH) from time to time, usually from a script
file. I have found that on my KDE 4.8.2 box that KDE hangs up in the
following way from time to time. It won't switch desktops when I click
or use the Alt-function key key stroke, it won't show the popups from
plasmoids, and it won't switch applications using alt-tab or clicking on
them. In effect, it makes multi-tasking impossible for the duration of
the rsync.

It usually hangs for about 5 minutes and then anything I have clicked on
during that time will pop up and it will function ok for about a minute
or so before hanging again.

In 4.7.2 I remember my machine going slow when using rsync, but not
totally hanging. I just upgraded a week or so ago.

Here is my system:
Box #1: 12.1 | KDE 4.8.2 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | nVidia 8500GT | 4GB RAM

I have not tried running my rsync script in a tty instead of Konsole, so
I don't know if the issue is with Konsole or with KDE in general.

What other information do I need to post here to help communicate the
problem?

George

Just more additional info - I did try running the same script in a terminal instead of konsole, and it caused my system to hang up in the same way. So I think it does not have to do with Konsole.

Is there a particular log file that would be helpful for me to post here for the troubleshooting?

George
