Complete list of installed packages
I have reproduced this. Anything that causes lots of text to fly by quickly in gnome-terminal can cause this lockup when using kernel-2.5.x. Workaround: If you start a process that has lots of text flying by, but minimize the window, it wont lockup. I have reproduced this - even running "make menuconfig" locks up the terminal, when it is vertically maximized. However - I've first experienced this after booting to 2.6.0-test1 kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y. I was running the standard 2.4.x kernel when I saw it. According to linux-kernel mailing list, this is an application bug uncovered by the new O(1) scheduler. Relevant thread: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-mm/2003-07/msg00275.html Message-ID: <6uwueidhdd.fsf.net> It sounds like this is an old kernel problem. I'm going to close the bug, but if people are still experiencing problems using recent packages, please feel free to reopen. |
