I am seeing the following problem appearing on random occasions during regular usage of my regular updated KDE/F14/64bit system. The desktop becomes extremely slow and unresponsive, out of the blue. It lasts for about a minute or two, and then reverts to normal. If i happen to have a terminal open when it happens, I can see in top that usage of both CPUs goes to 100%. However, it's not because some process is using them, but because both CPUs are wasting cycles in "wait" state for I/O. Then if I manage to start iotop to see what is sucking all disk I/O, I see that 99.99% of I/O is being used by something like virtuoso-t +foreground +configfile /tmp/virtuoso_Lh1825.ini +wait Would someone explain what is this, why is it running on random, what triggers it, and --- most importantly --- why is it configured by default to suck all life out of my system during its (presumably normal) operation? yum info virtuoso-opensource says: Summary : A high-performance object-relational SQL database Description : Virtuoso is a scalable cross-platform server that combines SQL/RDF/XML Data Management with Web Application Server and Web Services Platform functionality. This suggests that it is some kind of database used by KDE (or something else?), so I can understand that it can be resource-hungry. However, I don't understand what is its purpose on my system? If I try to yum remove it, it wants to remove most of the OS istallation, including kdebase, so I guess it is something very required by KDE. I would be very thankful if someone explains what this is and how to make it do its work only when the system is idle enough (say, when the screensaver has been active for half an hour, or something like that), and not in the middle of my regular work. TIA, :-) Marko _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
