Add the "ME TOO" to this question. I have noticed that when my wife logs out and I log in something was taking up all the processor. doing a ps -ef would show that a process with her userid was using all that was available. I have to su, then kill -9 the process. just a kill or kill nohup would not stop it. I am running KDE 3.0.4 on SuSE 8.0 from the update directories on the ftp mirror.
Is there a setting that would fix this anybody?
Well, it appears that when you write a question like this you will find your answer faster. Like pushing the elevator button repeatedly, :-). Actually I found in the KDE users ( and I think one other in this list) list some loosely related problems with konqueror, and kicker. The problem (I think, after putting the pieces together) is that if you (using SuSE especially) update KDE the old files in /tmp don't appreciate it and don't go away. After I went in and deleted ALL the files from /tmp I was able to login, logout, and see the process go away properly. Now, is it completely resolved? Maybe. But, either way I do have a work around until one is found. BTW: the buzilla number and link is: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48984 According the the bug number above, most, if not all, are using SuSE 8.0 or above. One person even mentioned that the problem shows up over time, which makes me wonder if I have "fixed" it, or delayed it. -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!
