Hello everyone, I'm a linux user by some years now, but I'm rather new to KDE.
My last system was Ubuntu 10.04, and with the release of the new LTS versions I decided to switch to Kubuntu. I really like KDE, and I'm using it with satisfaction from nearly a month.
However, it is a couple of days that it started to behave a little strange, and I can't figure why.
The problem is that the system is extremely slow, I noticed that even after a fresh start, the processor load is always at 100%. I mean, I have a dual-core processor at 2.40 GHz, and both of them are at 100% usage. RAM (I have 3 GB plus 1 GB as swap) is not affected by this overloading, its usage is as usual.
In these conditions is really impossible to use the whole system: Plasma Desktop is really slow (it takes a couple of minutes to open the menu or to use anything else), applications don't even start, and basically the only thing I managed to open is the System Monitor; here, some processes are listed as "waiting for disk".
I don't know if this is related, but I tried to open a session with Ctrl+Alt+F1, and without typing anything, I continuously get the messages you can see in the picture. I suspect that the problem is hard-disk related, but I can't figure out if this can be true and how to solve it.
Can anyone help me?
