I'm having an issue w/ starting KDE. The boot process goes fine, and then KDE displays the 5 startup icons.. It gets to the globe and pauses for about a minute! Then it gets to the K symbol, and pauses for another 30 seconds. It used to go through all 5 in just a second.
What changed? I noticed I had a lot of packages that are installed were not showing up in yast software management.. I had done a dup from 12.2 to 12.3 months ago, whenever 12.3 came out.. So, I noticed nothing was selected under "patterns" in software management and I selected KDE desktop. That put a check next to a bunch of packages that were already installed, but YAST apparently didn't know about.. It downloaded and installed everything, rebooted, and it's slow to start.
I figured out if I disable power management in the KDE Desktop Config services, it boots fast again, but then power saving is disabled and my screen never shuts off.
Could anyone help me troubleshoot this?
-I should add, things other than booting are slow now, too. Opening programs for the first time lags.. Starting krdc, for instance, lags for about 20 seconds the first time I open it after booting. Same thing when I shut down, it takes a while for the little shutdown window to pop up, and all that was instant before I made the change to my software.
thank you,
Scott
