Thank you for responding. You are the first response from several tech lists. After about 15 min the system effectively stops. Running the kde program to check memory, it shows the swap and physical ram are full. running top shows knotify is taking 67% of cpu time. killing the knotify pid solves it, so far. I have not yet timed the problem after killing knotify. I cannot find amarok in the kde help, so I am unsure chat to do. All I did was install, or attempt to install, the gupto app dev pkg.
