If it's the virtuoso process to create issue, you can try disabling the semantic desktop (which uses the virtuoso DB): either you uninstall the virtuoso packages, or disable nepomuk for your user in a console with: $ kwriteconfig --file nepomukserverrc --group "Basic Settings" \ --key "Start Nepomuk" --type bool false (you can also do that in the "semantic desktop" section of `systemsettings`) If that does not avoid the hard lockup, I don't have more ideas at the moment... -- Pino Toscano
