Strange Opera behavior.

ImageI Installed and used Opera 11.51-1 on one of my Arch laptops. And after a while the CPU went close to 100%. So I close opera but according to my conky, Opera is still using lots of CPU.

Code: Select all

killall opera
did not do it either.
Well time to remove it completely then. And still it was there eating resources. Loging out and in did not remove it either.
A good old reboot will fix it - kind of reminds me of my Windows days.
I have always liked Opera but it is time to put it on hold now.

You might try

Code: Select all

kill -9 <pid>


where you can get <pid> from

Code: Select all

ps aux|grep opera


for example, on such occasions.

Hm yes that looks better than doing it in htop. Re-installing and trying.....
Ah yes! You are the Guru - thanks that did it. :dance1 Still; the Opera people need to sing another tune :boohoo:
(It could be Arch too I guess).

You can also get the PID just by running top.
