[Mageia-dev] Anybody having high CPU by kded4 after upgrading to 4.6.90?

Fri Jul 1 07:40:24 CEST 2011

I was trying to investigate the kded4 high CPU load, and I started to 
+investigate some upstream reports, even if not necessarily reported for 4.6.90.
+
+Some such reports were related to ntrack, e.g. http://bugs.kde.org/268038
+
+What the heck is ntrack and why do we need it? (The official description tells 
+me exactly nothing).
+
+There is *no* ntrack in either of Mandriva or Fedora -- it's actually likely 
+to be an Ubuntu project; either way, it's definitely *not* part of the KDE4 
+project, as it's hosted on https://launchpad.net/ntrack
+
+Then why the heck removing libntrack0 wants to remove *all* the KDE???
+
+Is Mageia becoming Kubuntu?
+
+All these excessive dependencies are making me sick. Everything depends on 
+everything. Is dynamic loading of libraries, with dynamically getting pointers
+to functions and using them or not, depending on availability, a mechanism 
+that only works in Windows?
+
+Then, you'll excuse me, for the fist time in 9 days, I'll reboot into XP SP3.
+
+And I'm doing that because, after having rebooted in F15, their plasma (4.6.3)
+crashed on me for 3 times in 5 minutes. This is unbearable.
