I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place.

I have recently upgraded from Ubuntu Studio 10.04 to 10.10.

Several apps seem to crash, ( firefox-bin, thunderbird-bin, gnome-system-monitor, gnome-system-log is a current cross section)

There is a report that the application is not responding, and the process cannot be killed (kill pid, kill -9 pid, both as user and sudo) AND consumes considerable system resource;-

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

5240 chris 20 0 179m 14m 11m R 41.2 2.4 3:59.22 gnome-system-lo

The only option is a reboot.

Where should I start looking for possible errors both on this forum and within the various logs on the system?
