Description shortmanikos 2007-11-13 23:24:45 UTC

Version:           1.2.7 (using KDE 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.1)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic

I had the feed (http://waytoyoursoul.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default though I don't think it has anything to do with the specific feed) for a month now without any problems but today all of a sudden everything froze for about 2 minutes and then my pc was crawling... After a couple of restarts I pinned the problem to akregator fetching feeds and with a bit of trial and error I realized that it happened every time it tried to fetch that feed. (I actually went on and deleted the theme and everything is going smoothly).

 The actual problem had nothing to do with KDE or Agrekator. It was a hard drive malfunction and the problems appeared cause it was trying to read from a damaged area. The disk is now unformatable....
