From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Hello, I have a Fedora Core 2 box running on a 2.4 GHz Intel Pentium(R) 4 processor. I ssh'ed into the FC2 box and ran Crack5, which is known to be quite calculation-intensive, with a nice value of 19; then I went to sit in front of the same FC2 box to log into GNOME desktop. It still took the system half an hour to display the desktop. Even after the desktop is displayed, the application menu took another 10 minutes to display after I click on the red hat icon. Then it took me another 30 minutes to log off. This doesn't happen when Crack5 is not running. Shouldn't a nice value of 19 make Crack5 yield much more often to other processes? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build and run Crack5 ("nice" it now to 19 or "renice" later) 2. If you have not nice'd Crack5 to 19 already, "renice" it in "top" or using "renice" command. 3. Try to do anything in GNOME Desktop. Open gedit, whatever. ;) Note: words betweet double quotes (") are commands you can use in a terminal. Additional info:
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
Closing per lack of response. Also note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4, please assign to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version.
