Running SUSE 10.0 (retail). I updated to KDE 3.5 (from apt) and now whenever I start Konqueror, it pushes my CPU to 100%, and it stays there. [...] Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions for a way to track down the problem and fix it?
I got a problem which looks a bit similar, yet I would guess it is a different one. SuSE 10.0 is now very satisfactory for me. But on my initial tries, it was consuming all the CPU soon after graphical login, and it took me a few visits (rebooting SuSE 9.2 in the meantime for the necessities of real work) before I figured out where the problem was. Strangely, whenever the `xterm' program in UTF-8 mode (either using the `-u8' option, or having UTF-8 as part of the LANG environment variable), X goes wild and trashes (responds more and more slowly), consuming all the available CPU. Killing `xterm' recovers the usual X pace. This is repeatable at will here. I wonder if others could reproduce this problem. I'm using the YOU-downloaded NVidia driver, if it matters. My solution was first to use `mlterm' instead of `xterm', but I did not quickly find out how to select the font I wanted. So, I recompiled and installed `rxvt-unicode' from source, and all is perfect since I use it. -- François Pinard http://pinard.progiciels-bpi.ca
