There were some delays last month, but not as severe as you indicate and affecting all applications.

It might be helpful to start the process under strace and look at where it is spending most of it's time. >2) Issue with login/logout in KDE. > >Sometimes it occurs that after some working in KDE & logout X-server is >killed but not been resotored. Therefore I need to login at console (and >reboot the machine). Do you have to reboot the machine, or can you simply restart your login manager? Assuming you are using kdm you can try to restart the login manager with "invoke-rc.d kdm restart" as root. >3) Sometimes (after very long activities) Krusader buzzes. buzzes? >Some information about my system: > >distribution: Lenny, uptodate >kernel: package linux-image-2.6-686, ver. 2.6.26+17 >x: package xserver-xorg, ver. 1:7.3+18, I use commercial nvidia drivers >(built from "nvidia-kernel-legacy-96xx-source" package) Can you try with the nv driver instead? Just temporarily to see if the nvidia driver could be at fault. No need to uninstall the nvidia driver, just install xserver-xorg-video-nv. Then, update your X.org changing 'Driver "nvidia"' to 'Driver "nv"'. >There is my /home/ directory on a separate patition on NTFS!

Can this partition (which store user's profiles & >data) causes some problems with KDE? It's possible, but a little unlikely. KDE stores configuration settings in ~/.kde, but those are all normal files. It also uses ~/.kde/tmp-* and ~/.kde/socket-* but only as symlinks to directories in /tmp, and I'm pretty sure NTFS has good support for symlinks. Still, if reasonable, you should try with Debian's ntfs-3g (temporarily) and see if the problem persists, just to remove some suspicion. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =. bss@iguanasuicide.net ((_/)o o(\_)) ICQ: 514984 YM/AIM: DaTwinkDaddy `-'(. .)`-' http://iguanasuicide.net/ \_/
