About 30 seconds after boot is complete.
It sounds like the HDD is being torn out and beat against the case!
I CAN’T do anything. Mouse cursor disappears. I can’t open a terminal any way or fashion to run ‘top’ or ‘htop’
This is getting ridiculous, and happens nearly every evening.
I usually end up hitting the power button, and letting it do a fresh start.
I DO NOT use snapper, if it is that then SuSe has fubar’d my ext4 formats.
About on more time, and the 15.2 USB KEY GOES IN, AND I REVERT.
I am typing this on my iPad because the PC is IMO, fubar’d by what ever is causing my HDD to be beat to pieces. I expect that from Win10, NOT Leap 15.3!
I think it is the tracker routine That i what is a op of ‘TOP’ and indications are it is using a lot of resources.
There are 2 file there tracker-extract and tracker-store.
Can I disable tracker?
