I'm apparently having severe problems with (possibly?) KDE.
Kickoff launcher is very laggy, it opens after a clicking it, but it takes around one minute to open.
This itself would be workable, but the worse thing is that it is unable to launch any application.
It is very fortunate that for some reason kde always loads same applications (firefox, kile, terminal...) that I had open when I shut down the computer before the problems started.
These applications that open work very well unless they have to launch windowed applications.
Terminal cannot launch for example dolphin either, it just does not do anything, and I have to abort launching with Ctrl-C, which terminates loading immediately.
Non-windowed applications seem to be working fine (for example gnuplot and python).
This is the second time this happens. (I resorted to reinsalling 14.04 that time)
This time these problems started after building OpenFOAM and rebooting, which leads me to suspect that
some packages that I had to install there are causing this.
The packages installed were
build-essential flex bison cmake zlib1g-dev qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev gnuplot libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libxt-dev libscotch-dev libopenmpi-dev libcgal-dev
(some were already installed, and dependencies were installed too, naturally)
I don't think building OpenFOAM itself could have such results, as I it did not have root-privileges.
I hope someone could help me with this, as the system as it is is quite hard to use right now.
