hello all, i recently had a problem with Ubuntu and thought i might share the solution.
My system was preforming extreamly slow and i found there were about 8 processes running called “gtk-gnash”, 4 of which accounted for 80% of the CPU usage and a ton of memory usage.
I found that gnash is a flash plugin that was added to the 3.0 version of firefox for linux. For some weird reason it creates multiple copies of itself and hogs resources.
to remove gnash run these commands:
#sudo apt-get remove –purge gnash gnash-common mozilla-plugin-gnash
plus after running this you’ll probably want to run:
#sudo apt-get autoremove
this will get rid of any dependancy files no longer needed as a result of the recent removal.
if you do require a flash plugin try adobe’s version, it works just fine.
just some helpful info for those in the python class to review:
By the way, the language is named after the BBC show “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” and has nothing to do with nasty reptiles. Making references to Monty Python skits in documentation is not only allowed, it is encouraged!
there is far more info available here which you are encouraged to utilize: http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html
