[gentoo-user] Enlightenment Problem

[gentoo-user] Enlightenment Problem

[john]

I have been using enlightenment 18 for the last 6 months with no
problems.

I have recently bought a ssd drive and transferred / and boot to there.
Since then whenever I start enlightenment, enlightenment and kswapd uses
all my resources so I cannot even start an xterm, etc. After 10 minutes
all is ok again. top shows kswapd and enlightenment using all cpu.

This maybe a coincidence with the ssd but have upgraded enlightenemt a
few times since with no change. 

I have tried killing kswapd but nothing happens. It won't die. 

This happens everytime I log out so have switched to xfce4 for the time
being but have no problem there.

I have rebuilt all enlightenment and associated files (efl, elementary)
and deleted all config files etc.

If anyone has come across this or can help resolve I would be
greatful. Cannot find much on Google search! 

/boot /dev/sda1
/root /dev/sda2

swap /dev/sdb2
/home /dev/sdb3
/var /dev/sdb4

fstab entry:
/dev/sdb2	none swap sw 0 0

I have no idea what could cause that problem - I've never seen anyone
with that issue (using enlightenment or otherwise)

You might have better luck asking on the enlightenment user group:

enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net

Thanks Alan,
I find it rather odd as well. I think it must be an enligtenment issue
as other desktops are fine. Will send them an email.
