so it is probably not akonadi or baloo which is causing your system to crawl, but plasmascreen.
with the hint from Carlos to use iotop: baloo_file_extractor works hard on the disk (and, as Gertjan mentioned, the old index DB was already removed), but the real problem comes from plasmashell
so perhaps you need to examine baloo's configuration or wait for baloo to finish rebuilding it's indexes you do have the option to suspend the indexing to rule out, or not, baloo as the problem.
not a solution but will probably releave your system, in a terminal window: kquitapp5 plasmashell && sleep 2 && kstart plasmashell & disown && sleep 10 && exit
that is one line.
Since I had run this command it seems that plasmashell is more responsive. No more breals for minutes....
does "minutes..." mean you have relief or only momentary and then the same lack of system response? if this provides relief, it would seem that baloo was not really the problem but the video drivers.
I would guess you are having problems with the drivers for your video card. I cannot help you there.
Video driver is the i915 Intel driver. No special boot parameter. Can this 'communication' between video driver and plasmashell be monitored somehow?
have we determined that video is the problem or are we chasing a path which will not provide a solution? understanding that *you* want to solve your problems and gain knowledge while doing so, your hesitation to provide requested details is not making others attempts to provide you solution any easier. please be more forthcoming. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
