Hi I beleive that I'm seeing bug #15188 with kde-3.1.1a, since the upgrade from kde-3.1.1-r1 to kde-3.1.1-a my slow machines (P1 MMX 266, 64 Mb ram) can't start kde (kdeinit it's killed by the scheduler) and kdm_greet is very slow to restart (1 or 2 minutes) and it eats all my swap. The same problem doesn't appear on P4 and k6. I've search some debugging info but all I can find are Out of memory messages and some secondary error in /var/log/kdm.log (can't find kdmdesktop). What it can be? Bye Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Ok, I've tried reemerging kdebase-3.1.1-r1 but the problem remains, so I suppose that's a problem with the new qt (I've also updated to qt 3.1.2 at the same time). I've noticed that since the upgrade the kdm fonts are anti-aliased, who's responsible for this? Qt?
Ok, here's more info: ps aux|grep kdm on P1 64MB ram: root 8541 15.6 36.4 103824 22888 ? S 12:45 0:35 /usr/kde/3.1/bin/kdm_greet ps aux|grep kdm on k6 128MB ram: root 6962 0.0 8.6 18864 11020 ? S 12:23 0:01 /usr/kde/3.1/bin/kdm_greet There's something wrong here I suppose. The p1 and k6 configurations are identical, same packages, same emerging order, the only differences are CFLAGS: CFLAGS="-march=pentium-mmx -O3 -pipe" CFLAGS="-march=k6 -O3 -pipe" Kde, qt, xft and truetype are all at the latest stable portage version (emerge -u --deep world). The fonts are exactly the same on the two hosts.
your problem with the startup time should be solved by typing "fc-cache -f" to renew the font cache... That worked for me
yes, problem solved! :) (however I've got to reboot all hosts in single mode because fc-cache -f eats a lot of swap too) Thanks a lot :) P.S. I suppose that this sould be documented somewhere, if it's already forgive me for my ignorance ;)
