Kubuntu very unstable

[Ric_NYC]

It is times like these I wished I understood Linux a bit more because then we could have started to look through log files to see what was running when this happens... But as I am not there yet I will concede defeat for now and give a real expert a chance to answer...

Thanks for your help.

Update:

I found what was the source of the problem: Google Chrome.


I've been using Firefox instead of Chrome and I had no more crashes.


Somebody fix it, please... I like Chrome a lot, but I cannot use it because it makes the system too unstable.

Thanks.

I hope this helps other users.

Hi,
I am having no problems using Chromium on a daily basis, but I decided to install Google Chrome after reading your post to see if I would have the same problem as you. I do... Google Chrome locked up my system completely in about 2 minutes after starting it. Chromium still works fine.

So my advice is to try uninstalling Google Chrome and install Chromium (chromium-browser) instead. They are the same browsers but Chromium is opensource. You can find and install chromium-browser in kpackagekit and Synaptic Package Manager, etc.
Hope this helps.

I tried Chromium for a day... and it crashed the system too.

Back to Firefox.


Thanks!
