Hi - I have just upgraded one of my systems to Leap 42.1 and am encountering a problem that is turning into a showstopper for us. Every few minutes, and in particular it seems after clicking on the launcher in the kicker bar at the bottom of the desktop, the system comes to a near halt for a few minutes and does not respond to a lot of mouse or keyboard input actions. Any shell window that is open will be responsive but much of the GUI stops responding. I have discovered that when this happens, top reports that the plasmashell process is using 100% of the cpu. Google has not provided me with a solution that I can understand, so in layman's terms can some kind guru tell me how to fix this issue? I will gladly provide any additional info needed, and thanks in advance for your help.

I forgot to mention also I did 2 things... The first was for the graphics: On my laptop I went through the detailed procedure to install bumblebee from here: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/505270-ultimate-tutorial-installi... Following it in detail (I had to tweak one thing, I don't remember what now) was what made the difference on my laptop. On my desktop I installed the nvidia repository (available in yast -> add repositories -> community repositories). The second was with the QT repository: On my desktop I also added the QT5 repository at this url: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt5/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/ I don't remember specifically looking to install anything from the QT5 repository, but zypper seems to have picked up a few packages from there and put them on my system. -- George Box #1: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Box #2: 13.1 | KDE 4.12 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | 4GB Laptop #1: 13.1 | KDE 4.12 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | 8GB Laptop #2: 42.1 | KDE Plasma 5 | Core i7-4710HQ | 64 | 16GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
