Unstability with KDE softwares

[denis]

Hi,

Strangely, I have a kind of unstability when I use : Konqueror, kontact, may be kwalletmanager.

What happen ? I launch the soft. Then, It - the soft in question or something else - start to access disk more end more. Quickly I loose the hand on the system and I can wait 45 min, just looking the HD working really hard, and nothing else.
This hapen even if there is no other application open.

The dmesg gives something strange :
[17179950.356000] IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver
[17179960.880000] eth0: no IPv6 routers present
[17180103.544000] ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
[17180105.928000] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A

Strange because usually the time is supposed to be cleraly referenced and it is not the case

May be I shall had that my system is composed of reiserfs 3.6 files and fat 32.
Here some information on my system :
Linux toshi 2.6.15-25-386 #1 PREEMPT Wed Jun 14 11:25:49 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

Thanks for help.

Re: Unstability with KDE softwares [Solved]

Ok I am totally stupid !!!

Reading this precedent post I had the idea (after several days loosing patience) that maybe I had a problem with my swap partition.... It never happened before, but I did that in safe mode :
mkswap -c /dev/hda13 where hda13 was supposed to be my swap part.

I have no problems now and things goes faster !!! Amazing isn't it ? :-X

Sorry for the posts
