KDE Start sometimes slow

English Applications

I’m using 12.2 with KDE4.9 . Often the KDE Start after login ist quite fast but sometimes it takes a long time until KDE is completely started. How can I find out which processes are running during start and which one makes it slow.

Thanks

I get that with kde 4.9.2 and 4.9.3 - kde seems to have started ok but is unresponsive for 15-20 seconds. After that it is fine.

In the end I rolled back to kde 4.9.1 and that works fine.

That’s what I have here. How can I go back to 4.9.1

Sorry I can’t find a repo still available that has kde 4.9.1 so I think that you are stuck with either sticking with kde 4.9.3 and the initial freeze (hopefully this will be corrected by kde 4.9.4) or going back to kde 4.8.

thanks, I’ll wait.

Another option would be to switch to kde 4.9.3 using the tumbleweed repo at:-

Index of /repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard

as this does not suffer from the start-up freeze which we have been suffering from.

On Tumbleweed I saw this too, this afternoon. But, a lot is running on this laptop, so my guess was that something was waiting for the network to be available, and doing so was causing some delay. Not real freeze, mouse moves etc.
