Happy Tuesday all,
So, an interesting thing happened to me when I came into work this
morning....my computer was sitting at the password prompt to unencrypt
my disk so I could continue booting my machine. Apparently we had a
power outage at work last night.
So, I put in my encrcyption password and continued to watch it boot
up. It went, and went, and went and right when I thought it was going
to give me my login prompt, it...stopped. My mouse cursur is just a
spinning ball of wait. I'm never given the opportunity to log in, it's
just a black screen with my spinning cursor.
I've tried each of the different kernels on my computer, all PAE --
3.4.0-1, 3.4.4-3, and 3.4.4-5, and nothing seems to change.
However, I was just able to boot into runlevel 3, log in as myself,
and run 'startx' and get in that way. When I do it, though, it runs
*very* sluggish. Gnome-shell, with nothing but an xterm, is running
~65% cpu and my load average is running at 2.16.
I can't find anything that might have been updated that would explain
the issue. I have 3 machines all running Fedora 17, one of which I
know is completely up to date as my work computer is, and I don't see
the issue on it (had a power outage at the house this morning, so I
had to reboot the one at home as well).
Any thoughts greatly appreciated, thanks!
Brian
Starting Gnome from runlevel 3 always results in cpu-hog gnome shell
here. I submitted a bugzilla report (don't have the id handy). So far,
no help. Maybe you could add some comments.
