Hello everyone and Season's greetings. This is a difficult to explain problem.
Today I launched my opensuse and I noticed that it takes so much time for the kde to load . As I also receive some strange messages I took a picture of my desktop after the boot up process.
ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting
Few things
-Takes so much time to load (like 3 mins, was 30 secs before)
-there a problem top left corner of my screen "The process for the file protocol died unexpectecdly". This is a small plasma widget showing the contents of a folder.
-The KMixCtrl crashes. There is only one sound device at my system which was always unconfigured. This problem first appeared today.
-Bottom left of the corner: There was a virtual desktop switcher where you could swap between four different widgets. Right now only one icon is visible.
-whole system is not that responsive
I didnt change anything drastically in my system (not sure if any system upgrade was executed)
I tried to find and see if there any kde log files but could not find any.
some technical info are :
cat /etc/issue
Welcome to openSUSE 11.3 "Teal" - Kernel \r (\l).
kde 4.4.4 release 3.
kernels vmlinux-2.6.34.7-0.5-default.gz (and desktop version).
I mention again that I didnt change anything in my system. It seems that something went corrupted.
Could you please shed some light and help me?
