KDE4 - Plasma lock up

view full story
linux-howto

http://forums.opensuse.org – I've been experiencing a strange problem with Plasma locking up. Running system monitor it shows the KDE4 process using 20% CPU time, and Plasma around 10-15%. This seems way too much since on my six year old Laptop the cpu load of both processes is barely noticeable. My Laptop is an old single core 3000+ AMD Athlon 64, while my Desktop has a Quad core Xeon 2.33Ghz chip, so the fact that the KDE4/Plasma system load is many times higher than on the Laptop, indicates something is wrong. I'm not sure what else to look for troubleshooting wise, any suggestions? *Actually, thinking about it, the KDE4 process is timing out one CPU core, which indicates to me something is really not right.

Stories similar to KDE4 - Plasma lock up

For years, KDE has delivered excellence in its Plasma desktop environment. The Plasma project is so big in itself, it has three parts- Plasma Desktop, Plasma Netbook and the new Plasma Active. Plasma Active turned some heads in October this year, when its first version appeared for tablets.Plasma Active 2 claims that it adapts to the way you use your device.

Tried KDE4... 2 years 43 weeks ago

So as some people here claim you can customize KDE4 to be not worser than KDE3 I just tried to install it (KDE 4.4.4).

Hi

I'm a new openSUSE user - I've been using fedora for some time, and decided it's time to try out something new.

Now so far my fresh 11.2 copy works pretty well - I even got my mobility radeon 3650 to work with 3d support.

Had no issues with this plasmoid, until managed to lose plasma settings, helping someone in a thread on here.

Now, BBC have changed their site on 7th, and I can (likely as result) not re-configure the applet, search part fails.

Does anyone have it configured for BBC?

kcm_touchpad in KDE4 core repo? 3 years 22 weeks ago

:'(What happened to kcm_touchpad in the KDE4 core repository? I had used it a few times in the last three months. Due to a Winblows 7 problem hosing the hard drive, I had to reload openSUSE 11.2 again. When I used yast2 to search for the program, it couldn't find it.

Went to the suse KDE4 repos and searched them but couldn't find it. Has it been removed for some reason?

Ok I have been searching the forums trying to find a similar issue and have not been able to find the answer to my situation.

I was going to try a different plasma desktop downloaded the file and let yast2 do the work. Afterwards I did some messing around with the desktop. Sadly I realized I was in root when I did this instead of doing it through the cli as su.
