Yesteday this started. The top command shows PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 852 root 20 0 315772 268696 1076 R 98.0 7.2 15:58.83 systemd-udevd 7334 root 20 0 243728 198048 1112 R 25.6 5.3 3:53.25 systemd-udevd I did an strace and found this seems to be looping. But I don't kno...

I checked it out on Youtube. It looks to be similar to Windows 7. Cool.

SOLVED. The solution was to switch from using Gnome to KDE. I opened System Monitor and kept it visible. Under Gnome, when the fan when on high, I watched until the screen froze and stopped updating System Monitor. Both memory and Swap never exceeded 75%, but both CPUs had flatlined at 100% for seve...

Errosion, generally I use this system for web-browsing, Chrome. Yesterday I came back into the room and the screen was locked because I had been gone over 15 minutes. The HD LED was continuous on, the fan was at max, and I couldn't log in. When it starts it ramps up then the mouse pointer gets jerky...

I have occasionally had this problem but it has happened twice this week. I have the most recent Centos 7 updates. The GUI and user input are frozen. Ctrl-Alt-F2 does not switch me to another console. The SSD hard disk light is on and the CPU fan is screaming. I do not believe it is the hard disk be...

My [10ec:8168] also hehaved strangely when I updated to 7.7 (from CR). But starting with the next day everything was ok again. Try to cold start your computer. :) Solved! I shutdown, unplugged the power for 20 seconds. Plugged it back in, rebooted into the latest kernel, networking came up no probl...

I just applied upgrades and rebooted. There is no internet connection and the Network Tool says Cable Unplugged. Also the router LED for this cable connection is off. But I rebooted with the previous kernel and all works again. New kernel says cable is unplugged kernel-3.10.0-1062.1.1.el7.x86_64 Pre...

A simple test, reboot the machine with the network disconnected. The default localhost name is back. Between boot-up, something on the network saves my last hostname and sends it back to me. The cable modem? The ISP? Does it work this way for others?

Building gr-gsm failed because the Centos 7 gnuradio package lacks QT support. Can this package be updated with this? See this thread, second post down, "The gnuradio version in centos 7 is not too old (3.7.11-7) but unfortunately they do not distribute the Qt blocks that are used in grgsm_livemon ....

A mysterious issue and possibly should be asked in security forum. I used KTorrent to download a live CD image for Debian. I then used that live CD for a day. When I logged back into Centos 7 the hostname command says "debian". The Internet says the permanent hostname is in /etc/hostname. My /etc/ho...
