I just wondered if anybody has downloaded KDE 4.10, I have just done so and so far it seems to be pretty damned good.

Allot of people have, enough to bring down the archlinux servers
What you should find is it being allot faster then before, including nepomuk which has a new indexer backend which is much better then the last one.

I've been running it since the betas, definitely anther big improvement - overall snappier and the new QML stuff looks very sexy and IMO improves the display of information on the desktop.
Akonadi/Nepomuk is pretty stuffed though. Email searching is broken for me. Inconsistent/Wrong /No results. I deleted the db, reinstalled the feeder, let it hig the CPU reindexing for 25 hours staring. Only to have the same old broken seraching.
Oddly enough it did seem to be working briefly in 4.9
And theres another problem - even if searching was magically repaired overnight, after literal years of brokenness I have zero faith in it. If I need to do a reliable search I always go to Gmail now and will be for some time.
Email retrieving/send itself seems quite reliable.

I have only one 'observation' concerning 4.10. On my 64-bit HP Pavilion [ g7-1070us laptop (Intel Core i3 CPU M 380 / Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) ], if I let it sit idle - no keyboard/mouse activity - something starts driving the CPU and temps rise alot. If I start using the PC, the temps immediately start coming down to normal. Bizarre.
Solved! Turns out Nepomuk Desktop File Indexer is the culprit. When it goes from idle to indexing, the CPU is hit hard and the temps rise. I think I saw in a Google search that there is a bug report against Nepomuk recursively indexing in KDE 4.10. I've disabled Nepomuk Desktop File Indexer and Email Indexing for now.
Yep. Here is the bug report: Bug 312113 - nepomuk 4.9.95 gets stuck on recursive directory structures and uses 100% cpuLast edited by Snowhog; Feb 10, 2013, 11:43 AM.Windows no longer obstructs my view.

The upgrade on my laptop had a few snags to workout (same as ScottyK's issues in this thread: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthr...creen-Problems ), but I found on my desktop that if I un-installed kmahjongg before doing the 4.10 upgrade that everything updated without issue via Muon.
As for Nepomuk, it is something I disable and leave disabled. I don't know if I will ever trust it enough to use and since I have never really utilized it, I don't miss it.Nowadays I'm mostly Mac, but...

To me it sounds like it is doing its job, how long did you leave it for? It can take a few hours to index a large home directory and at least it is no longer interfering with your work as it turns off when you start using your computer.
