Howdy, |

I upgraded to the latest KDE a bit ago. I update about twice a week, |
4 |
depending on what is going on and what is released. Anyway, KDE has |
5 |
become just dead dog slow. Just to login takes a couple minutes. If I |
6 |
click to open a KDE app, it takes a long time. If I click on the |
7 |
kicker/panel thingy at the bottom, it takes forever, even clicking on |
8 |
the K menu takes a minute or more for the menu to pop up. Also, when it |
9 |
freezes, the clock stops as well. It seems something is hung up or |
10 |
something. I also noticed that klipper is missing as is kmix for the |
11 |
volume control in the kicker/panel thingy at the bottom. If I try to |
12 |
manually start them, I get nothing even if I wait for a good long |
13 |
while. Also, while in a Konsole, within KDE so note the K there, if I |
14 |
try to copy/paste something, it locks up Konsole tight as a drum. It |
15 |
has yet to ever come back. I can't even switch tabs. Also, while I |
16 |
generally click on the panel at the bottom to switch desktops, this |
17 |
doesn't work when it is froze or stuck. I can however use the function |
18 |
keys to switch. |

When I login, the hard drive activity light on the case is very quiet. |
21 |
It is normally on solidly when I login since it is reading data but now |
22 |
it is pretty much dark all the time. |

What I have done so far. Renamed .kde4 and tried a new .kde4 |
25 |
directory. No change. I did a emerge -e world with, no change. I have |
26 |
also checked the CPU and memory with htop and it shows nothing outside |
27 |
the norm that I can see. I have also went to the boot runlevel. killed |
28 |
anything that shouldn't be there and then went back to default runlevel. |

This started yesterday. I did my usual update and logged out and back |
31 |
in since checkrestart showed several programs using old configs/programs |
32 |
etc. After that, it got real slow. The biggest update was qt and all |
33 |
its friends. Sort of hard to tell right now since I can't get Konsole |
34 |
to work right and I can't copy and paste either. lol |

I was going to try to downgrade KDE to the previous version, it appears |
37 |
to be gone now. I guess my only other option is to upgrade again with a |
38 |
version from a overlay. This is not something I want to do tho. |

Has anyone else ran into this? Anyone got any ideas on how to track it |
41 |
down? It's going to be a week before another upgrade and this is |
42 |
getting on my nerves. ;-) |
