| Subject | Gnome desktop almost totally unresponsive in Jessie |
| Message-ID | <uJDAd-2kG-5@gated-at.bofh.it> |
I've got a small problem. On our local Jessie box, the Tomcat and Apache web servers both seem responsive enough, and I likewise have no trouble getting and using an SSH session remotely (except that the "find" command is extremely slow). But the Gnome desktop has become almost totally unresponsive. I'd rather not restart the box. Any advice on how to deal with this without restarting the box? -- JHHL

After a mostly-off-List discussion with Mr. Sanchez, I gave up and did a "shutdown -r" on the system. After a re-IPL, Gnome was back to gnormal, and everything else was back up as well. It's not like it's an AS/400, or even a state-of-the-art Linux box, that's designed to run for years at a time without an IPL -- it's an old Dell PowerEdge 400SC. And I'd forgotten: it DOES have RAID: a hardware RAID controller with two mirrored pairs on it. No sign of damage to the mirrored pairs, but a full cold-start might be necessary to be sure of that, if not an actual controller-level diagnostic. -- JHHL
