[Bug 1320403] [NEW] update-mime-database thrashes hard disk

2014-05-16 Thread Adam Porter
Public bug reported: After upgrading my machines to Trusty, I have noticed that when I install packages, the disk thrashes very hard while the command "update- mime-database.real /usr/share/mime" is running. Watching the disk activity with atop, I see that the process is reading from the disk at

Ok, as far as KDE goes, the fix is to remove empathy. For some reason, when empathy was installed, the KDE Telepathy stuff was using empathy to authenticate, and it was failing. The Gtk error box and non-KDE desktop notification should have tipped me off sooner, but it wasn't until I brought up t

This is really frustrating. It happens on one of my Kubuntu 12.10 systems, but not on the other one. I'm also getting self-signed cert errors in other apps since I started trying to use Telepathy! It was fine until yesterday! telepathy-gnome: Installed: (none) Candidate: 26 Version table:

2012-01-07 Thread Adam Porter
Kubuntu will remain a joke as long as it continues to push out software that is broken by default. Muon may be great software, but it should not be the default as long as it's broken! How can we "evangelize" Kubuntu when it can't even update itself in a fresh install? This is the FOURTEENTH rele

I think it might be simple to implement. A patch to KDE's and GNOME's session managers to touch a file in /var/run or somewhere, and a patch to the suspend scripts to check for that file. Three small patches? Four if you include LXde? 2011/1/16 Chris Wilson : > I think a solution to this would b
