Public bug reported:
I added a shell script to execute at startup under System Settings ->
Start & Exit (not sure if these are the exact words in English), but
forgot to mark it executable. The next time I booted the system, Kubuntu
apprently tries to open the script file with Kate (the window bar showed
the a loading "Kate" tab for a few seconds).
However, Kate did not open. After that, the whole system became
incredibly slow. For example, the K menu took about 30 seconds to pop
up. Clicking on any program (Dolphin, Terminal, etc.) shows a loading
tab in the window bar again, but the actual program window does not
open.
I used Ctrl+Alt+F1 to go to a terminal and set the +x flag on the script
file. After rebooting, the problem was gone.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I guess a script that cannot be
executed should not break / slow down the entire system like that.
