I am having a weird problem with KDE I have done all my updates and today I am getting 100% cpu usage for some reason: top - 09:35:22 up 1 day, 3 min, 11 users, load average: 2.75, 2.83, 2.82 Tasks: 174 total, 4 running, 170 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 98.8% us, 1.2% sy, 0.0% ni, 0.0% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Mem: 1034220k total, 1006040k used, 28180k free, 115200k buffers Swap: 2104472k total, 159024k used, 1945448k free, 503332k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 24464 gs 25 0 34400 17m 13m R 99 1.7 19:05.32 kded 3914 gs 25 0 33980 5420 5324 R 86 0.5 1431:08 kded Are there supposed to be 2 kded processes???

I had faced this problem sometime earlier. A simple (but crude) solution is to kill the kded process(es) (remember to use the KILL signal), and to run kded on a shell. (It will detach, like any daemon process.) A slightly better approach would be to disable some KDE services (via kcontrol->KDE components->Service manager). Once you are done getting CPU usage back to normal, you can save a KDE session by logging out and back in.
Are there supposed to be 2 kded processes?
Normally only 1 kded process should run. Are you seeing two processes or threads in top (H toggles threads in top)? (Use ps to find out.) -- Regards, Aveek Bhattacharya IIT Bombay

I tried that through ksysguard with no success. I should have tried command line.

I will try that.

Good thanks

No there were 2 distinct I did the tree view and they stayed separate. I noticed that I after I exited the session for the second time I had 3 kded it seems like something is not closing properly, so I rebooted and I had one and only one kded but it was again consuming 100% CPU.... I am now running Blackbox and the performance is very good and speedy even with my winxp vmware machine running, I had great issues with the whole system slowing down after a few hours in KDE and swap and memory was consumed pretty badly I have 1G RAM and 2G swap. Any ideas what might be causing KDE to misbehave like that. Thanks for your help. George
