If you are using experimental software (KDE 4.2), this thread might be better served in the Pre-release / Beta forum. I suspect you can report your own post, and ask a moderator for it to be moved. Generally speaking it is a good idea to state which version of SuSE and which desktop environment / version you are using in each new thread - people aren’t going to go searching through your other threads to find out.

  1. Disable Beagle - simplest way is to run YaST and remove everything Beagle related. Some people like to keep it, but for desktop use it isn’t essential by any means, and it’s trivial to put it back later if you want it.

  2. Speed up internet connection by disabling ipv6, which I believe you can do globally in network settings, somewhere or other in YaST.

  3. Enter a terminal and type ‘top’. Report back any processes which appear to be hogging your system.

Im using the latest KDE4.2 it may rc1 or beta I dont know:\

I’m not sure how KDE classify it, but with respect to SuSE, KDE 4.2 is definitely in the pre-release category.

Try the other suggestions - they apply whichever version of KDE you are using.

So I was playing around and found out about 1 minute later the proble was the System tray.
The problem of the system tray is it use all of my CPU aand I tell yes it use it all of the CPU memory that it is slowing down the OS.

The Qustion is solved.rotfl!rotfl!

Hi - I think I’m experiencing the same problem - right after login OpenSuse 11.1 64bit with KDE 4.2 (installed from the Reloaded CD) is extremely slow, one CPU-Core is at 100% and I can’t even start top or whatever, since the System-Tray is almost not responding.

After some minutes the load is going back to normal and the system works like charm… until the next reboot.

Could you please describe how you solved your problem - what setting did you change?

Regards, Thorsten

Did some more testing - the problem seems to be related to some 3D effects (have an ATI Radeon 3850 with the fglx-server).

A fresh user account experiences no slowdown - even with the standard 3D-effects enabled. After enabling the cube-desktop feature the login is painfully slow. There also is a small window in the upper left corner for a long time only showing an icon of the app in the taskbar (or nothing if taskbar is empty).

The cube seem’s not to be the only effect slowing down the login - in my main account I have some other effects enabled and here the login still is slow after disabling the cube.

Just out of curiosity, do you have the kmail icon minimised to the tray on
start?

No - kmail is not stared automatically - and for the testuser I can confirm I never started kmail at all.

Ok, was just a thought as I have found that if the systray is enabled it
causes a whole lot of probs especially CPU hogging with either kmail ( kde4
) and the kmail ( kde3 ), also kmail ( kde4 ) still crashes when sending but
this was filed in bugs at the last check.

I will get back to lurk mode now.
