- Which distribution, release, exact kernel and Gamin versions?
- Any kernel version and or Gamin version combo this worked OK in?
- Any errors or anomalies in ~/.xsession-error*, /var/log/Xorg* or other /var/log/*?
xsession-error is full of nepomuk errors - not sure if any of those matter
For the /var/logs - I wouldn't know what to look for.
I've not 100% pinpointed the cause - it doesn't happen all the time. Yesterday with file transfers, choqok, ktorrent, gpodder, yakuake, xbmc, and Firefox running - it didn't happen. I've got a suspicion that it either involves Amarok 2.5.x or Kontact, but I'm not 100% sure yet. I'll report back if using one of those seems to definitively cause it.
Today ran amarok and that didn't seem to affect it. I noticed it went into disk sleep after using kget although something may have happened between when I checked and when I used kget. I wasn't careful enough to check before and after. I'll have to do that next time I reboot.
