Hi all,
[ I posted this on Friday and Jim on a Powerbook 667mhz G4 and Thomas on an
iMac DV replied that they too have this SLOWLY opening KDE apps problem
with YDL 2.3. But no body has spoken up what the slowdown might be. Any
ideas? Any suggestions? ].
I upgraded from YDL 2.1 to 2.3 and suddenly KDE apps take 30+ seconds to open
-- Trash, Konqueror, Konsol and Configuration Panel, specifically are all
taking way longer to open with YDL 2.3 than with YDL 2.1 (I haven't tried the
other apps yet).
Anyone else have this problem?
Any idea what is causing the slow down?
Thanks!
Roger
My details:
.......
PowerBook 333MHz G3 bronze (1999-2000, no Firewire)
- installed YDL 2.3 "everything" (1.8 GB).
- had the slow KDE with both of the following X configurations:
1) 1024 x 768, 16 bit color, Acceleration ON, X affects set to 50%
2) 1024 x 768, 16 bit color, Acceleration OFF, X affects set minimum
- Error message on boot (into text mode):
ntpd failed
- Error message on startx:
sound dev not found, routing to dev/null
- Can't see this being related, but in case it is.. bootup does NOT set
Hostname to the string, "G3", that I put into /etc/HOSTNAME. Instead
bootup is continues setting Hostname to "localhost.localdomain".
