[konqueror] [Bug 398426] konqueror crashes immediately no matter what I do -- it is unusable
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398426 --- Comment #4 from Rick Graves --- I'm back from my travels and can troubleshoot this. BTW, I am having this problem on my residence desktop. A few days ago, the hard drive died on my office desktop. I installed kubuntu 18.04 on a replacement hard drive. I installed konqueror and tried to load it, and yes it crashed instantly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Most recently I tried to open the index.html in /usr/share/doc/python2.7/html. I tried to generate an error report, but it said it could not, and I should report the bug here. Just now I opened it to get the version number, I hit home, and it opened https://www.kde.org/ OK for a second, then it crashed. Just now I went to amazon.com, and it crashed. I went in again, and took the attached screen shot. I want to have another browser available, but konqueror does not function as a browser. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
[kate] [Bug 378579] kate (and kwrite) on large files: version 3.7 is fine, version 15 sucks
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378579 --- Comment #13 from Rick Graves <gravesricha...@yahoo.com> --- Some thoughts: 1) Package maintainers are volunteers and guys like me appreciate their efforts. 2) kubuntu is not kde, but kde needs distributions. 3) Ideally, kde could encourage package maintainers to test using systems that approximate the minimum hardware recommended by some popular distributions. If package maintainers only test using much more powerful hardware, they can remain oblivious to, and in denial of, the problems encountered by some rank and file users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Yes there is a posted bug for this problem, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378579 To solve my problem quickly, it was easier for me to revert to 14.04, and assemble 4 core CPU desktop systems & acquire 4 core CPU laptops at my leisure.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[kate] [Bug 378579] kate (and kwrite) on large files: version 3.7 is fine, version 15 sucks
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378579 --- Comment #11 from Rick Graves <gravesricha...@yahoo.com> --- Good news. See the picture I uploaded -- a 4 core i5 3230M 2.60GHz laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E431, came with Windows 8). Testing as described using kubuntu 16.04 (kate/kwrite version 5/15), performance is good. For use on big files, it seems the minimum hardware requirements for the kate editor exceed the minimum hardware requirements for kubuntu. Is the bottom line that for big files, kate needs 4 cores, 2 cores are not enough? In an ideal world, this would be up front, and people like me would not have to discover it by trial and error. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378579 --- Comment #8 from Rick Graves <gravesricha...@yahoo.com> --- I tried kubuntu 16.04 (kate version 5/15) on my alternate office desktop (see the picture I uploaded just now). Following the test procedure described, after hitting paste (Ctrl-V), the text took 5 seconds to appear, and after hitting down arrow once, it took 6 seconds for the cursor to appear one line down from the top. The hardware is an Athlon II dual core CPU, 8 GB of memory, nVidia GeForce 8400GS display card, monitor with 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. Yes on this hardware kate version 3 (kubuntu 14.04) performs well, the pasted text appears instantly, the cursor appears one line down instantly. I believe my hardware all greatly exceeds the minimum recommended for kubuntu. Two questions: 1) What is the minimum recommended hardware to run a QT5 application? (I looked and did not find on google.) 2) What hardware does the maintainer use to test kate and kwrite? Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378579 --- Comment #3 from Rick Graves <gravesricha...@yahoo.com> --- Bug 378330 seems to be related, but that one is only about the paste delay. I use kate for small files (python scripts) and have no problem pasting into small files. If my only problem was the paste delay, I would live with it and I would never have complained. For me, the much bigger aggravation is the arrow keys do not work with keyboard repeat in 16.04 and 16.10, kate version 5/15 (kate says version 15, kwrite says kate version 5). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378579 Bug ID: 378579 Summary: kate (and kwrite) on large files: version 3.7 is fine, version 15 sucks Product: kate Version: 15.12 Platform: Debian stable OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: gravesricha...@yahoo.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 104928 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=104928=edit It shows the cursor one line down from the top. I am on kubuntu, so I get the kate (and kwrite) version the ubuntu people give me. I have been using kwrite to maintain a big file (25 mb). (Note that kwrite uses the kate editor.) On kubuntu 14.04 (kate version 3), kwrite worked great. When I first tried kubuntu 16.04 (kate version 5/15) in early 2016, kwrite was clearly not the same: 1. For the arrow keys, keyboard repeat works at the top of the file, but not further down. In kate version 5/15, the display does not update -- you cannot see where the cursor is. If you hold an arrow key down for a while and release, after some seconds, the cursor freezes then reappears somewhere. In kate version 3, anywhere in the file, you see exactly where the cursor is at every instant, you can release the arrow key when you want, and the cursor is where you expect it to be. 2. Pasting text into the file (anywhere except the top), kate version 5/15 takes several seconds for the text to appear. Using kate version 3, the text appeared instantly. After evaluating kubuntu 16.04 in early 2016, the kwrite problem was a show stopper -- I declined to upgrade kubuntu, and I have been on 14.04 until recently. But then in March, a more pressing consideration made me upgrade to 16.04, and kwrite is still a problem on my big file. In 2016, I tried tweaking settings in hope of fixing the problem, but I did not find a solution. Note that I encountered this problem using the same hardware. Right now, I have two hard drives for my Lenovo Thinkpad T500 laptop with 8 GB memory, one hard drive with kubuntu 14.04 (kate version 3), and another hard drive with kubuntu 16.04 (kate version 5/15). I can shut the laptop down and swap hard drives. You can say my laptop is too slow, but kate version 3 works perfectly OK on my laptop -- no complaints. But on the same laptop, kate version 5/15 sucks. I have encountered deniers, so I assembled a big file -- anyone can try it themselves. I googled "Richard Stallman", went to some hit pages, and copied some text by or about him. I pasted into a file and duplicated. I used the fmt utility to break the long lines into shorter lines (the file I edit in real life has mostly short lines). The file is almost 27 mb (too big to attach). I gzipped it, and uploaded it here: http://www.advanced-app.com.hk/MiscJunk/Stallman_Richard_short.txt.gz For both the following tests, I used wget to download the file and gzip -d to extract it. For the latter of the two tests below, see the attached picture. It shows the cursor one line down from the top. The test, conducted near the bottom of the file, is to determine, after pressing down arrow once, how long it takes for the cursor to appear one line down from the top (as explained in detail below). On the Lenovo Thinkpad T500 laptop with 8 GB memory running kubuntu 16.04 (kate version 5/15): I went to the bottom of the file, and from the bottom I selected up to and including the line "The consequences:". I copied the selected text. I used PgUp several times until I came to the heading "The GNU Manifesto". Above that heading, I hit Paste (Ctrl-V), and counted "one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, ..." The inserted text appeared between one thousand five and one thousand six. I hit Ctrl-Z. I pressed the up arrow key, and kept pressing it while I counted ""one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand four, one thousand five" then I released the up arrow key, immediately pressed down arrow once (quickly) and started counting again. The cursor did not appear one line down from the top until AFTER I counted up to one thousand eight. On the SAME Lenovo Thinkpad T500 laptop with 8 GB memory, running kubuntu 14.04 (kate version 3): I went to the bottom of the file, and from the bottom I selected up to and including the line "The consequences:". I copied the selected text. I used PgUp several times until I came to the heading "The GNU Manifesto". Above that heading, I hit Paste (Ctrl-V). There was no need to count, as the inserted text appeared instantaneously (to my human perception). I hit Ctrl-Z. I pressed the up arrow key, and kept pressing it while I counted ""one thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand four, one thousand five" then I released the up arrow key, immediately pressed down arrow once
