Hi kde-freebsd group, I've been having trouble with kde4-workspace and runtime ever since my upgrade to 4.7.2 a few weeks ago. The problem is related to having a network connection and whenever I have one, the usage of all four of my CPU cores max out. I'm running 9.0 RC1 with em network driver (chip=0x15028086 rev=0x04).
Before narrowing down the problem to a network connection, I assumed it was a problem with me using gcc47 to compile, so I tried: - pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/* and installing everything from compiled source with base gcc and -O2 -pipe and when that didn't fix the problem, I tried: - pkg_delete /var/db/pkg/* and installing everything from pkg_add -r The problem still persists. Then I realized that when I started KDE with no network connection, everything worked great (except for akonodi, which always crashes when I shut down). Within about 10 seconds of plugging in my network cable, all four of my CPU cores max out. If I kill the four processes, then things are OK for a little while, but then knotify4 gets triggered and all four cores max out again. I've tried moving knotify4 to another location. That helps in that when I kill the processes that are in deadlock, the problem only happens again when I open certain KDE apps (plasma-desktop, dolphin, konq, etc.) and only 1 core will max out. I have tried the following to fix the problem, but nothing has worked: - Changed solid network backend from default wicd to Fake Net. - Disable all KDE services having anything to with networking by manually changing the .desktop files (I didn't trust the UI since I thought for sure this would fix it, but it wasn't) - Disable notification service At this point, I've resorted to only connecting to the network when necessary. I'm very frustrated and wishing I could easily go back to 4.6. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, John
