Slow kde4

otacon · 2009-02-05 06:41:11

Just installed linux again.
Kde4 is acting slow and freezie like windows acts when it has a virus.

when I

$sudo pacman -Ss anything
$password:

then it freezes

----------------------------
I have 2tb hard-drive
8gb of ram
quad processor

no way my hardware isn't good enough.

check your task manager... KDE can't be responsible for pacman being slow. I guess some program is using all your CPU for some reason.

I can't tell it shows
x using 3-7 percent
something else does 1-2
then a bunch of sleep disk readings and after that nothing, but my windows are still freezing and being slow.
at the bottom it say I am using 25-33% of cpu but it doesn't show what is taking it up.

isn't it weird to be using 25% of you cpu just for it to sit there and do nothing?

brand new installation so there shouldn't be any programs beside firefox on kde

Could be Strigi indexing your files. Try to disable Strigi and Nepomuk.

Rasi · 2009-02-05 08:03:56

True.. disable that... this would also explain slow pacman, because strigi uses a lot of disk cycles...

In addition to that its not even really integrated into KDE atm, so its more or less useless anyway
