lxde-binary: 96% CPU, no GUI, no TTY

Hello. I was able to work my way out of this without having to reboot my computer, but thought I would report since this is the second instance of this behavior for me. In short, I opened a new tab (You Tube) in an existing browser (FF) window, then my GUI visually scrambled and all local TTY's beca...

Re: Desktop folder icons, panel directory menu, not respondi

My computer has been up for 8 days, and this behavior has happened about 4-5 times now--less then once per day, but still pretty annoying. In the last instance, it seemed to have something to do with dragging a doc from pcmanfm window directly onto the Desktop. Fortunately, I've found a method that ...

Re: Desktop folder icons, panel directory menu, not respondi

Happened again with the sluggish windows and all. Tried to kill pcmanfm, but could not kill process. CTRL-ALT-Backspace used to restart X. Sluggish window behavior disappeared, but so did the background image on my Desktop, as well as all my pcmanfm icons (e.g., Home). When these events occurs, my s...

Re: Desktop folder icons, panel directory menu, not respondi

I've seen the failure to respond when clicking on a desktop icon, but not the slowdown. Sometimes the desktop icons call vanish. It often (but not always) occurs when unmounting a USB flash drive. When the problem does occur, I open a run dialog, kill any runing instance of pcmanfm, and run pcmanfm...

Re: Desktop folder icons, panel directory menu, not respondi

Just experienced the sluggish behavior described above again (e.g., trailing windows, persistent window across Desktop, but didn't get a chance to click on the Desktop folder icons to see if they properly worked. For whatever reason this morning, my computer started to get sluggish (uptime was about...

Re: Desktop folder icons, panel directory menu, not respondi

Hello seppalta! I am using the following:

Linux Mint 12 LXDE (Linux 3.0.0-12-generic)

PCManFM 0.9.9

Desktop icon behavior is currently normal and has been since I restarted X last night. I have since tried to mount/unmount a USB drive (per rockdoctor) but have not re-experienced the problem (yet).

Re: Desktop folder icons, panel directory menu, not respondi

I experienced the non-responsive Desktop icon (e.g., Home folder) behavior again. This time, though, it was not accompanied by the sluggish behavior I described above (e.g., trailing windows; persistent windows). Everything was OK when I checked the CPU/RAM/Swp usage with htop. I was able to address...

Re: Desktop folder icons, panel directory menu, not respondi

The problem is intermittent, but it just so happened. These are the characteristics of the problem: * Trailing windows * Cannot iconify windows using "Minimize All Windows" panel applet * Can access open windows on first (working) desktop: For example, I was able to access the terminal (LX...
