process

I have ben using 12.10 for a few days. Just upgraded it from 12.04. This comp of mine, which has a 4GB RAM and 64 bit intel processor, just goes slow randomly. When I press Ctrl+Alt+F6 and login through a command prompt, I see a number of processes using -

ps -A

I get many instances of a process named 'doodle' running. So many that I have to 'pkill' them by hand.

Any idea why this is happening?

How will people upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04 after 13.04 is EOL?

as seen on Ask Ubuntu - Search for 'Ask Ubuntu'
Looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases 13.04 will reach EOL in January 2014, while 12.10 will reach EOL in April 2014, therefore if a 12.10 user hasn't upgraded to 13.04 and subsequently to 13.10, there will be a 3 month period where a 12.10 user has a supported version of Ubuntu, but will be… >>> More
