A couple of days ago I was using my F11 gnome system where I use kmail
as pop client and ran some ordinary updates (including several kde
updates) from the usual Fedora repo. Subsequently I got progressively
slower and slower kmail and then my whole system bogged.
The current situation is that kmail is totally unusable, and as soon
as I fire it up my whole system is on the verge of unusability.
My mail is tied up in kmail boxes that I now cannot access. I of
course have work in progress that I can't get at.
There was a pretty good thread on this topic on the fedora-list and it
was suggested that people on this list might have more info.
So what I think is happening is that somehow akonadi and/or nepomuk
are fried, giving extremely slow (glacial) performance for programs
that depend on them. I was able to see from a nepomuk failure message
a link to a kde site where there were instructions for a workaround.
This helped a bit and I will no doubt need to find those instructions
again and get familiar with the process, because the fix is transient.
For unrelated reasons I've had to reboot and every time I do I'm back
in glacial terrain.
Can anyone (PLEASE) suggest a decent fix or provide more information
about this issue?
TIA
Dave
