 Posted: Sun Jan 12, 2003 6:16 pm Post subject: KDE Start-Problems |
 |
|
After upgrading to 3.1 rc6 the start of KDE takes a very long time, about 4-5 minutes. After the desktop is there also some applications start very slowly (Konqueror as filemanager). The same if i try to get a propertybox open.
Any ideas?
So long ...

Alex,
I had a similar problem with an earlier version. If you have fam running, try shutting it off. That worked for me.
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/fam stop
|
Hope this helps,

Would be nice if it is running. But it isn´t started!
On another workstation the upgrade had worked fine 
So long ...

Experts correct me, but I believe FAM is a TLA for File Allocation Manager. Using it should speed up an applications file access. In this case, though, it doesn't appear to be working.
