Good day all,
This is my first post here, just got subscribed.
I can call myself a Linux noob compared to some of you I gues, I do know some about it.
My background is MCSE and VCP and am active in IT for more than 30 years. And I do work a lot with linux stuff, but when stuff really gets broken, I really do need someone to guide me through the forest.
So, why am I here? Without trying to create a fanboy storm, after decades. I am starting to feel Windows is becoming worse so this week i decided to change one of my two Windows workstation into a Linux one. And I dabbled enough in Debian, Ubuntu and Kubuntu (less in others) that my choice fell on Kubuntu.
And only a few days in, forcing myself to use it and especially under the hood, because thats where the magic is happening right?
But...... I ran into a small but annoying issue.
So my install is still pretty clean. I want to do some crazy things but for that i made another VM for testing before i put it on my workstation (like EMACS). So no crazy stuff on my machine yet.
My issue is that my disk light blinks constantly, never stops, ever.
Sadly i can not copy content of iotop -o (like the noob i am) but it shows the following process (ksystemstats) constantly having io, it does not write or read, just ~1,7% IO.
I would normally not do this, but google said it was ok. I first tried to kill it, but it came back immediately. So I removed it and the problem of the disk light was gone. Of course i do not want this service gone, it is an important part of the new plasma system monitor if i am right. But after hours of searching, i could not find anyone with a similar issue.
So now what? is there a way to configure this service so it does not access my disks 3-4 times a second?
