Re: Upgrade Debian woody 3.0r2 to KDE 3.2.2

2004-06-03 Thread Xaveer Leijtens
Hi,

You probably have to use apt-get dist-upgrade (see man page for apt-get).

(SOLVED) KDE 3.2.2 slow in starting applications

Thanks! The strace didn't help, but since the fresh user didn't suffer my
problems, I removed my gtk/gnome config files (kde configs had already
been changed) which solved the problem. Times are now around 0.7 seconds!

Thanks to all who replied.

Tried your suggestion: gvim took 36 seconds to start, but no increase in
CPU usage for artsd. Still, I tested without artsd running, but no
improvement. I did see famd taking quite a bit of CPU while gvim was
starting, but also stopping famd didn't help (40 seconds for starting
gvim). Just to show some examples of values I just got (it times until
the window appears):

[rood] time gvim asdf

real0m3.326s
user0m1.264s
sys 0m0.188s
[rood] time gvim asdf

real0m4.385s
user0m1.236s
sys 0m0.215s
[rood] time gvim asdf

real0m3.286s
user0m1.245s
sys 0m0.200s
[rood] time gvim asdf

real0m39.808s
user0m1.313s
sys 0m0.284s
[rood] time gvim adsf

real1m32.903s
user0m1.401s
sys 0m0.424s

When I read about the improved performance of both kernel 2.6 and KDE
3.2, it doesn't match my experience!

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

KDE 3.2.2 slow in starting applications

2004-05-28 Thread Xaveer Leijtens
Hi,

When I start gvim from konsole in KDE (3.2.2), it takes between 2
seconds and sometimes over 1 minute(!) to start. Most of the time it
takes around 7 seconds. I have a laptop 1.2 GHz, 512 ram and this
happens also if no swap has been used. It is slow on starting other
applications as well, but my editor should really be snappy, so for gvim
it hurts most. When I use blackbox with the same kernel (2.6.5), it
starts within 1.5 seconds, which is OK. Plain vim starts immediately.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Re: No mime types installed! (solved)

OK, I solved the problem. Deleting the kde-* ksocket-* and mcop-*
directories in /tmp did the trick.

No mime types installed!

2001-04-02 Thread Xaveer Leijtens
Hi,

I've been running KDE 2.1 without much problems, but about a week ago an
upgrade (to 2.1.1?) stopped Konqueror and (most of) kpanel from working.
The message I get after startup is:

  Could not start process
  Unable to create io-slave:
  klauncher said:
  Unknown protocol 'file'

and other messages pop up:

  No mime types installed!

This looks like an essential part missing... Does anyone have an idea on
how to fix this?

Thanks.
