Also, despite the unclear connection to the kernel, I have classified this bug report accordingly because of the remaining syslog errors and described issues below and having completely force-updated all KDE files a couple times... Summary User Issues: KDE Desktop Apps and 3rd party integrated apps nearly completely non-functional. Apps not likely with deep KDE integration seem to run OK with only minor issues. KDE completely force-updated so unlikely the problem is with KDE Syslog errors report kernel related wireless device errors continuously May be related to systemd/systemvinit System History First installed as 11.1/KDE3, upgraded 11.1/KDE3 > 11.3/KDE4.1 > 12.1/KDE4.1 The first upgrades resulted in abosolutely zero issues, the upgrade from 11.3 > 12.1 resulted in at least systemd/sysvinit issues so sysvinit was retained. Throughout the system's lifetime, updates have been applied approximately weekly, not patching. Additional Healthchecks Ran FSCK and CHKDSK(from Windows on NTFS partitions) to verify and ensure problems are not related to file corruption and disk issues. Description of serious issues Although the system performed well after the upgrade to 12.1 approx April 2012, started on or about July1 (approx 1.5 month ago) serious issues began to appear. - First, Firefox appeared to slow, then gradually has become unusable, ccurrently freezing within seconds. Have also found same with other KDE integrated apps like Ksysinfo, Network Manager, Konqueror - ACPI issues(integrated with KDE Desktop), most noticeably currently cannot shutdown, logoff or sleep from syslevel 5. Functions possible in Syslevel 3 - File manager (Dolphin) gradually became unusable. Currently takes very long to load, once loaded works well. Note below improved when explicitly setting to systemvinit. - Slow access to KDE Base components, including KDE Wallet. Example: Logging in to a wireless AP can take 5 minutes or until it appears that KDE Wallet can provide WPA credentials. Example: As mentioned, Dolphin File Manager similar long wait time. Additonal: Was surprised to find systemd errors in syslog, upon closer inspection found both systemd <and> systemvinit installed simultaneously with neither declared default! and both accessible on bootup. When this system was first upgraded to 12.1, the choice was systemd <or> systemvinit, and installing the package to run one removed it as an option leaving only the other as an option on bootup. Could a "zypper up" on or about July1, 2012 have installed systemd components that screwed up my system's systemd/sysvinit "selector?" In any case, specifying "systemvinit" on bootup seems to have slightly improved issues (eg FF can now surf 3 websites before locking up) but is not a proper solution. Currently, the syslog "messages" only is reporting this error repeatedly (only a sample), I assume that this well reported type of issue on the Internet is affecting practically all network-related issues, possibly including Firefox. Less clear is whether it's related to system ACPI issues.

Note that apps that aren't tightly integrated with KDE open fairly normally and function fully even if apps like FF are frozen, examples are Konsole, Deluge Bit Torrent Client, Chrome Browser In 3 days, I will be installing new on new hard drives on this system, so am unlikely to do any more troubleshooting on these issues. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Bootup (option to leave default or select systemvinit, see "details") 2. Login through KDE 3. Open Dolphin or Connect to an AP Actual Results: Extremely long wait times, over 5 minutes until the application responds Expected Results: Expected immediate response Final evaluation: Have rated this problem as "only" serious because there are generally workarounds to using workhorse apps like Firefox and Dolphin (eg Chrome and manipulating files from the CLI, I can get Network Manager to work eventually but I assume could use wpa_supplicant if in a hurry) but for anyone who relies on KDE Desktop apps, these problems would be devastating. As of now, I'm personally only extremely inconvenienced but am able to export practically all the critical configurations and data in the affected apps in preparation for the system rebuild. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
