This is what I get: |

root@fireball / # qlop -l ncurses |

What I find odd is that some updated with no problems, some had minor |
| 54 |
issues and then some had some serious issues. It seems a dev may have |
| 55 |
had to fix a few things but it seems differences between everyone else's |
| 56 |
system then complicated things further. |

I do have some unstable here. It usually starts when I want the latest |
| 59 |
KDE due to a bug fix. It seems to roll downhill at that point. Anyway, |
| 60 |
it works. ;-) |
