15 Good point. But this does not seem to be the case. The only lines that
16 have multiple entries are two interrupts with ohci_hdc and snd_hda_intel, that should be no problem. The two ahci entries have their own
17 interrupts.

19 I did not yet find the time to remove the plasmoids (all is fine in
20 other window managers, or for another user with a plain unconfigured KDE
21 desktop), today I dealt with a horrible and weird qt upgrade experience on
22 another PC. Finally I was able to downgrade to 4.7, and at least stuff is
23 working again there.
