Now I ran startkde as a test user. The plasma-desktop still crashes but system status is very different. When I was under root, the system load goes up to 2.5 and the interrupt CPU state goes to 85%. But as a normal user, the system load is 0.12 and interrupt CPU state is around 33%, though it is still very high. Under root, its only plasma-desktop crashes, but under the normal user, I have plasma-desktop.core and plasma-to-plasma-de.core. Under both root and normal user, when this crash happens no user can login via ssh. Regards Sagara ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
