Dolphin very slow loading with SSD Plasma 5 Desktop

[Bladeforce]

Hi,

I dont know if I should ask the question here but it regards the beta plasma 5 desktop.
Dolphin is taking upwards of 20-30 seconds to load the file browser with an SSD. Could anyone help?

[vinnywright]

their is a thread on plasma 5 @ https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...14-10%E2%80%8F

some info on the install (how it was done) and on what hardware would be helpful in establishing a starting point and something like some "top" output wile dolphin is trying to load with dmesg output from the same time frame to maby.

is the system ok other than this ?

I installed it as a separate desktop session using the neon ppa. Could you give me more information as to how to use dmesg and top please?
Everything else runs fine just starting up dolphin

[vinnywright]

I allso have neon5 installed as a login session (in Kubuntu-14.04) you are posting in the 13.10 section and I do not think the neon/Kf5 PPA is for anyting but 14.04 ,,,,that sead

open a Konsole and start "top" ,,just type top and press enter ,,,open a new Konsole window and start dolphin in it by just typing dolphin and pressing enter,,,,,,,some errors will show post back the errors ,, you can cope and past the output from the Konsole hear just enclose it in [CODE] tags ,,,,,,,, the # button at the top of the text box will insert them for you.

wile dolphin is starting in the second Konsole window watch top and see if dolphin is using a larg amount of CPU.......

you can now stop top (by pressing Q) or open a new Konsole and type

 dmesg | tail -20

you may or may not see some entries about dolphin if so post them hear.

allso have you done your updates/upgrades sence installing the neon/Kf5 PPA ?

if no run in a Konsole

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

this will keep you up to date with the constantly changing state of this testing PPA,,,,,thare are daily upgrades @hear

VINNY

I will log in to my neon5 session hear in a few and open dolphin in a Konsole and post back the output so you can see the "normal" errors ,,,,their are ALWAYS some errors ,,,,,just not critical ones

[vinnywright]

OK @ hear opening dolphin in a Konsole produces this output and opens in about 1/2 a second

these are "normal" errors ,,,,,

well it is a testing PPA and not for every day use ,,,,,, I havent had a lot of crashes BUT I am not using it all the time , so ...........

I'll try to use it the rest of the day and see what happens

+ you should run the updates every day

VINNY

PS: are you really running this on 13.10 ?
