[help] alien process

[fekimoki]

hi, please check out the screenshot of my activity monitor
being highlighted in that screenshot, i have no idea what it is
its running under rosetta.
i already restart the mac and look on login items on my account, nothing suspicious, ex: growl, quicksilver

thank you.

if it's a PowerPC process, it seems like you've got a non-UB application installed somewhere. I have a few PPC processes running to support my printer.

I wouldn't worry about it, unless you suspect it's causing system issues.

The "translate" process *is* Rosetta. 🙂

Google more.

The "translate" process *is* Rosetta. 🙂

It's Growl...read through five pages of drama here to see how it all turned out. 😀

More info here.

 

[fekimoki]

wow thx
as mentioned on the cocoaforge forum url above, adium is the culprit
just before i ran adium, there is no translate
after i ran it, translate started.
after i quit adium, translate still there.

 

[WildCowboy]

Yes, it's Growl being invoked by Adium.
