KDE4 slow login process.

Tue Jan 15, 2013 10:30 am

My KDE-4 login process is fairly slow. It takes about a minute or so on a Core i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30GHz with 4 Gbyte of RAM. I face this problem for quite some time now but I wasn't able to solve it.

The biggest amount of time is taken by the "Big K" icon. Does any one knows what gets loaded during that time?

I have tried to disable Strigi, Nepomuk, Desktop effects, Composition and other services.

I face the same problem with another pc (Pentium4 CPU @ 3.20GHz with 2 Gbytes RAM and nVidia gpu).

How can I debug it? Monitor the process?

Monitoring .xsession-errors I can locate a 24 secs "gap".

Sometimes between the gap is a kded(2451)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig: message.

Fri Feb 08, 2013 7:09 am If you are able, can you connect to your computer from another computer using SSH, and observe the processes which appear to be using disk and cpu most heavily during this process? I suspect the delay is due to Plasma starting up - which could be made longer if you have added applets which access the network, or if you have added a large number of applets.
