I installed smart, and done a smart upgrade. It downloaded all of the files and installed up to gnome-games and locked up on me. After restart I get: "error: 'rpm' python module is not available" Now I cannot use Yum, Smart and Up2date. Any suggestions?

Another one here: I've got exactly the same problem on a laptop using the snd_intel8x0 driver. First I thought it was about Rhythmbox not processing the cpu speed changes (speedstep) correctly, but since then I've found out it happens without speed changes too. I think you're right it's when the CPU load spikes. It's happening in XMMS too, but with different results (sound goes silent). > I'm not sure how to go about fixing this; any suggestions? My current guess is it's a bug in the sound driver. Please post your sound card details (and lsmod output, I'm interested which driver you use).

The idea is to provide a place to 'find' these sites. So that in one's spare time one could visit them and surf around in firefox. The intent is to make firefox (or opera or konquerer or any other browser) a larger percent of total browser share for that site. So when the webmaster looks at stats, he will see the need to support these browsers. I also am organizing sections on standards compliance, and suggestions for writing to these webmasters. Links to firefox and opera will be provided, as well as news regarding developments in browsers.

I quickly top'ed and found a process prelink that varied between 74%-98% CPU usage. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 5202 root 39 19 11724 9280 536 R 89.9 1.9 0:23.59 prelink So I googled for prelink and now know that it helps preload libraries so that progreams can start faster. Which is senseable because the machine started slowing down when I clicked 'manage bookmarks' in firefox, which opens another program. My question is, what can I do to prevent this from happening again? Do I have to ust cross my fingers every time I open a new program? Could this be related to the fact that I have no swap partition? I know that I should probably add one, I guess that I've just been too lazy to learn how. Will adding a swap partition make the machine less sluggish? For this 512 ram machine, I was thinking of adding a 2 gig swap partition.

I've also notices that on occasion i have a similar (but not prelink) "problem": the machine is crawling to a halt, the load can go up like crazy (10 or 20) briefly and return to normal after a while.

FC4 is by far the most sluggish OS that I've tried, but as I haven't set up a swap partition, I did not want to blame FC4 just yet. But I know that a lot of people complain that is is sluggish. Side note: what is the general opinion about disabling CUPS, so that it will not start up when I start the computer? I don't have a printer, and it also seems like a resource hog.
