I’m not sure this question belong here, so, sorry if not)).
Since a couple of days the system seems to be reading disk all the time (occupied light is always on), making noise. KDE performance seems to be the same, the system is responsive. No weird process running.
as an issue had been claimed with intel 945 cards relating to an update of xorg recently, but aside of getting a performance improvement, the annoyance is still there.
So I though of the HD going wrong. Can it be?. I’ve activated smartctl tool but no error has been reported yet. I get : SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
Advice? Any info I could provide for you to help me out?
I’ve a vaio n38m (intel 945G)- opensuse 11.1, kde 4.3.0

this is only a guess: based on your “Since a couple of days age” i
assume you have found a conflict with the NEW kernel which was
available for automatic download and installation via the openSUSE
Updater…
do you remember an update in the last several days which said you
should boot, when the update was finished? if so, then the kernel was
changed and perhaps there is a conflict with the vaio hardware or BIOS…
if that is the case something can probably be done to remedy it
without being forced to go back to the old kernel–however, i wouldn’t
know where to begin…therefore i write:
can anyone help bandua??
hmmmmmmmmmmm…i just noted you are running KDE4.3.0, did you come to
that buy installing from a openSUSE.org download and update to 4.3 or
did you download the 4.3 image from KDE.org and have you applied all
updates to it, via YaST? please do this in a terminal and copy paste
output back to here:
uname -a

oh…well, i prefer stability and usability rather than eye candy, so
i’ve never used KDE4.x past the first few days i tried to use it for
real work…
when post like yours stop coming in, i’ll try it again…(maybe next
year sometime it will be close to as stable and usable as KDE3, Gnome
and many others are now…but, thanks for beta testing for the late
adopters!)
Beagle is unistalled. I check running applications form time to time and I cannot find one massively consuming resources. thx anyway
@goldie I’m not sure in which way your rant is related to my problem. It happens as well when I use gnome (I’ve both installed and I’ve said already). I might be something I updated at the same time as KDE, like xorg or something, or KDE itself. I simply don’t know.
I just wanted to let you know that I am having THE EXACT SAME problem. I have a Microsoft Support incident open on this issue and it has been escalated to the second level (whatever that means). I will let you know when I find the answer.
In the mean time, check out SysInternals for the Filemon, Regmon and ProcessMonitor utilities that Microsoft has referred me to and that we will be using to troubleshoot this problem.
