[kde] All those mother fucking 100% cpu daemons...

2014-05-15 Thread Maxime Haselbauer

I am using kde since 2010
There has been continuously a problem with a given component of KDE that I 
won't even mentionn it but basically the problem is like that:
1)you work
2)and suddenly a programm starts to rev-up at 100% cpu  and your computer does 
not respond anymore until you press the shutdown button

My questions:
1) Is it currently possible to have like an emegency button so that when this 
happen you would press on it, it would freeze everything and head you back to a 
terminal immediatly where you can kill those mother fuckers
Basically it would be like ctrl+alt+f1 but ctrl+alt+f1 does not respond as well 
when something is running at 100% cpu... 
2) I guess answer to 1 is no because one would need direct access to kernel, 
but what it is not done already by the linux developper ? (if you can't operate 
your system then it is not an operating system...)
3) Why kde softwares (and others as well) don't have a cpu usage limiter? is it 
so hard to programm?

Yes, it is possible: use a System Request like ALT + SYSRQ + S, which
performs emergency sync of the disks.

To configure this varies between distros, and need no knowledge of
kernel programming, configuration, etc (or at last didn't last time I
did this in my Gentoo box).

Are you really really sure that the problem is KDE? Sorry questioning
this, just trying to narrow down the issue you are having.
