All of these uncontrolled daemons are kde4's downfall. To run iotop, I need to recompile my kernel to get: I/O accounting support (CONFIG_TASKSTATS, CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT, CONFIG_TASK_IO_ACCOUNTING) I only see the first one available in .config. I can manually set =y but there are no traces of the others. Do I need them all? Where is this stuff in the menuconfig UI? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
