--- Comment #48 from Roland Hughes
roland, I think that your observation is incorrect.
on entry code starts before you can input anything. ( mouse click, keyboard, whatever )
this one allows one single input token (click or character, and then starts a lot of disk IO, and then continues.
apparently something gets loaded (some library or whatever )
the source code is not so difficult to find.
should be KDM or underlying code, consolekit or so..
I only use professional source code management systems. These do not allow subdirectories or any of the other God-awful traits of CVS and SVN. If someone posts the actual source I will look at it, but under no circumstances will I enter into the abyss the KDE project calls source code control. My observation is correct, we simply have different symantecs/verbage. Both yourself and the other poster seem to agree it is disk IO, not network. Thus we have identified the problem. There are many other bugs reported with this release about "hanging" disk IO, massive slowness, and file dialogs which take forever to load. I believe this is a problem due to EXT4 support. Another tried using only EXT3 and claimed to have the same problem. That doesn't really rule out the code added to support EXT4. EXT4 has taken a loooooong and bug ridden time to roll out. Even the backup utility I use cannot yet allow me to restore a single file from an EXT4 partition as it can with any other format. This problem is with the disk IO. Were someone to remove the disk IO from the "on-entry" code (for lack of better verbage) and move it all to the post-entry validation section, we SHOULD see the hang/hesitation/lock-up move to there. -- 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.
