kconf_update process

This process loads my dual core cpu to a half. I mean one core is busy to maximum. Can I fix it somehow?

Windows works in 80 % cases, Linux in 20%, but you can make linux work in other 80% cases whilst you can never make windows work in last 20%

Re: kconf_update process

This does the same for me too everytime I try to start Kaffeine (on Gnome).
I have to kill kconf_update before Kaffeine can start.
I thought I had fixed it by adding

updateInfoAdded=true

as the first entry in  ~/.kde/share/config/kconf_updaterc.
but it didn't work after logging back in

Re: kconf_update process

same for me, on 2 different systems.

Killing it one time didn't change anything (nor did the change in the configuration file), so I had to rename / remove the /opt/kde/lib/kde3/kconf_update.so and /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kconf_update files to get rid of the problem.

Re: kconf_update process

I followed the solution mentioned in the bug report and it solved my problem but I run a Gnome desktop with just kaffeine as the only KDE app.
I deleted the kconf_updaterc file from ~/.kde/share/config then in a terminal as root ran kconf_update.
