Re: [expert] KDE very slow in mdk9.1
Thanks to all who replied. It seems logical that it would sit there forever trying to do a lookup on a unknown lo interface. My sons away for the weekend and don't know his root passwd so wont know the outcome till sunday night. I'm looking forward to the results before upgrading my box. Thanks all, Gary. ps disregard any old mail of mine that might come through late as i've just moved my mail lists to my home domain in the last couple of days. There was no reverse lookup on my ip so mail was rejected. My isp has now happily pointed it at my domain, thanks Igreen.

It is the latest as of a couple of days. It boots up ok and is quick in text mode. When running kde it starts loading ok, brings up the kde box and goes through those items and then it disappears. All that is left is the blue screen, its just stops there, 20 mins later still only blue screen. (All that blue screen needs is Death written on it and it would remind me of winblows).
