KDE-Forum.org

I have had this problem every time I upgrade my system from one version of Linux to the next. I now have 18 desktops with different applications and web pages loaded. I really would like to keep these settings from Fedora Core 6 to Fedora 8 test 3. KDE is my preferred desktop. My home directory is on a separate partition. So KDE settings are normally transferred across. But they don't seem to work across different versions of KDE. Even now I'm trying to mount my /home directory as used by Fedora...

I have shut down all my windows apart from 2 root shells for qps and free. The other window is Konqueror browser, so I can access this forum thread. Here is the output from free -m after rebooting the machine from scratch, then starting KDE up again: Source code 1 2 3 4 total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2534 266 2268 0 22 138 -/+ buffers/cache: 105 2429 Swap: 1027 0 1027 I include attachments of running processes shown with qps.

Fedora Core 6 32bit AMD Duron 1600 processor.

I have just terminated process 4996 Firefox 462MB, and process 2726 180MB Konqueror and 2 other Konqueror windows. Here is the output again from free: Source code 1 2 3 4 5 # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2529 1594 935 0 247 768 -/+ buffers/cache: 578 1950 Swap: 1027 0 1027 Notice how the amount of used memory has gone down, and the free memory has increased. The amount of memory cached has not changed much at all though. Is this normal? It's the cached memory I want to free...

I could do when I have to reboot the machine. I'd rather not do it now thankyou kriko.

I'm running Fedora Core 6. I have 15 desktops all with virtual window sizes about 2.5 times the height of my 14" monitor. I have alot of mc editor windows open as well as Konqueror and Firefox browsers running. I notice that FireFox likes to cache alot of stuff. Killing that in qps sometime frees FF's cached memory. Here are some screen shots of my machines memory usage, taken with qps and KSnapShot: Notice how much Firefox is using: 462MB. Killing that helps reduce memory usage.

# free -m Source code 1 2 3 4 total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2529 2452 77 0 251 777 -/+ buffers/cache: 1423 1106 Swap: 1027 0 1027 I have 1GB of swap partition. qps http://qps.kldp.net/ reports: Source code 1 2 Memory: Total: 2GB Used: 1GB Cached: 780Mb Buffer: 251Mb Swap: Total: 1GB Free: 1GB Used: 184Kb

Hi all. I have a problem with the amount of memory that is used by KDE and applications. I have a total of 2.5GB DDR-200 memory installed. Using qps tells me that 1GB of memory is used for caching. Is there any way I can tell KDE to clear this cached memory, and make it available to programs again please? The only way I know so far is to shut down KDE and restart it again. This is a pain, because I have to set up my desktop environment again. TIA

Hi. I'm having a problem trying to update the status bar in Konqueror. I have an AJAX function that requests an update from the server, with: Source code 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 function xmlGET(url, action) /** call this function to send an XML GET request to the server. 'url' is the page to request from the server. 'action' is an integer to call a function in processXMLResult() to update part of the current page's content with data returned from the server. **/ { update_conten...
