Re: Anoying problem

Check disk space utilization to ensure you are not 'running low' on disk space. Console shell and type:

df -h -T

Re: Anoying problem

does it slow down for a while and then speed back up. Or is it slowing till it stops and then you are stuck there.

Re: Anoying problem

actualy my disk space utilisation is only 35%
The systems slow down to almost a freeze and stays like that..

Open Konsole and enter

top

Then leave it running. When the system slows down, see what process is hogging all the resources -- it will be on top of the list.

Re: Anoying problem

Wel it solved, i replaced my dvdrom with an dvdwriter of another manufactor

Maybe in 7.10 this was solved..

But happy to work again in my favourite OS

Re: Anoying problem

Glad to hear it
Maybe you should post a thread in the gutsy forum for your "weird" dvdrom and see what the reactions are.
