After recent update, my computer slows to a frozen screen that requires a 'hard' shut down to restart the machine.
It is most noticeable when playing a movie. I will be watching and finally the computer freezes. I have played the movie in minimized form and installed the plazmoid that shows memory use, and when only the movie is playing it shows using up all the memory '4GB' plus virtual memory of an additional 9+ GB's.
I attempted to 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' without improvement. Previously I had 3 desktops; I removed 2 of them to see if that would help. I ran a process viewer 'htop' and could not see any excessive ram usage. The quad processor seemed to be working with processors not stressed.
In another recent post of mine, the computer can not find /mintkde theme folder, however, I cannot see how that would add to the problem, however, I add, just in case it is helpful information. Other than that, my computer seems to run fine. Thanks in advance for any help.
I read recently somewhere that Aconadi has caused slowdowns. Is it possible for Aconadi to be part of the problem; it does not show as an abuser of memory in running apps, though? I previously set maximum for memory usage at 1GB for Aconadi, even though I really do not understand Aconadi's purpose for my computer.
