[kdepim-users] kde slow to start after a crash

[Anders Lund]

Hi Walter,

I wonder why you post to this exact list - do you a suspect kdepim application 
is responsible for your problems?

In any case, I personally think my netbook is slow at starting a kde session, 
which includes starting the desktop and usually kmail, akregator, 1-4 
konqueror windows, konsole (yaquake), choqok and maybe some libreoffice 
instances and okular - that would take about 3 minutes maybe.

I suggest that you log into a text console and runs top prior to starting kde, 
and then switch to the text console to monitor what is happening.

I have experienced that nepomuk and/or akonadi sometimes have problems 
behaving during startup, especially if they were jammed at shutdown. Try 
restarting both from within your kde session once it runs. for akonadi, run 
"akonadictl restart" from the command prompt or a konsole window, for nepomuk, 
stop/start it using systemsettings.

Possibly turn off file and/or email indexing if those are running (the latter is 
only relevant if you have mail resources defined for kmail), that is in the 
desktop search module in systemsettings as well.

Anders
