hi there

some desktops are very heavy that is they take a lot of resources

burt gnome has not been a problem as compared to KDE,maybe u have many taskbar preloaded or applets preloaded

see what is consuming the most resources in ur both desktops by
"top"

no,my gnome just use the default setting~~~
one day,i open xmms,it said that some lib lost~~~i search and install the lib and the xmms can work,after that,i open the xmms at gnome it appear very slowly~~~~~it is hard to think

hi there

what distribution u r using??

if u r using rpm supportable distro then u should install xmms rpm again
or get ur self the xmms source and install it again

"top"

i don't think it is the xmms problem
i guess maybe gnome~~becource in kde there have no problem

"top"

i use the 'top' command in console and start xmms,in the process of starting xmms,all things have frozen,after that,i saw 'top' command column XFree86 use the CPU 99%,after the XFree86 use the cpu cool down and the xmms have started.Is it the XFree86 problem?

masand · 09-18-2004, 11:47 PM

hi there

i do not think XFREE86 is a problem,since it is also being used in KDE

also analyse the output of "top" for some time since initially all packags will take a good amount of resources

and what about "top" in KDE

"top" in kde nothing happen,xmms start so quickly.
in gnome,xmms start all things will frozen, so the "top" cann't change at that time,when xmms have started,"top" show XFree86 use CPU 99%~
that is said during the xmms started,"top" cann't show anything

hi there
]

try running xmm with less priortiy in gnome

like this

[root@gaurav root]# nice -n 15 xmms

then see if it freezes

gklive · 09-19-2004, 04:00 AM

i have tried ~but also freezes

masand · 09-19-2004, 04:26 AM

hi

do one last thing
unsinstall xmms first and then reinstall it again

and i am sorry for this but i cannot think what else could have gone wrong
