Using KDE4 – Day 4
Day 4 of this series, and I am beginning to feel at home in my new environment. There are a few niggles that I will want to address today, among them my Atheros WiFi card not coming out of sleep, and a networking issue that I have when I am on wireless at the office…
08:29
I have been working on the laptop since 06:50 – I have noticed that sometimes KDE hangs at login prompt. I decided to wait it out and it took a whole seven minutes before I was able to log in. I used CTRL+ALT+F1 to open a terminal while waiting and TOP showed X and PLASMA to be the culprits. Between them they varied CPU use between 31 and 90% and system load was at 1.9 and slowly dropping.
Now a system load of 1.9 odd while booting or coming out of hibernation/suspend is not odd, but I find the fact that it stalls my login very irritating.
I decided to suspend once I had logged in and drove to work. At work my laptop would not come out of suspend, again X and PLASMA thrashing the CPU.
