I've a Dell Precision m6500 with i7 and 1GB NVIDIA FX3800M and it is<br>
running a Fedora 20 since it was distributed without any trouble.<br>
<br>
Two days ago I have updated my system through yum and since then KDE is<br>
really slow to start (Today it tooks 8 minutes to be usable again) and<br>
sometimes becomes unresponsive for a while.<br>
<br>
The period of freezing coincide with some HD activities (or at least<br>
with the HD indicator light turned on without blinking (or blinking so<br>
fast that I can't discern it). I've tried to see with top if I have some<br>
suspect process running but everything is as usual.<br>
<br>
Also the KDE session the system restores is pretty naïve with a couple<br>
of konsoles, an instance of firefox and a couple of okulars open.<br>
Nothing that, in my view, can justify the change.<br>
<br>
I've tried to undo the last update but yum fails in that due to a<br>
dependency issue. Both Baloo and Akonadi indexing service are turned<br>
off. Also googling around didn't suggest me new ideas about how to fix<br>
the problem<br>
<br>
My next try it would be to use the nvidia drivers instead of nouveau but<br>
before selling my soul to the evil ;-) I'd prefer to ask for help.<br>
<br>
Any suggestion? Any known bug I'm run into?<br>
<br>
Thank you in adavance for your help<br>
