Hi That's why I migrated to TB... For now. It works a charme with my Imap setup, address book works well and is synchronized with gmail contacts through an extension... Yes, it is less integrated with kde but, at this point, who cares? I need a working program. And I'm talking of a PIV 2800 mhz, 1 GB ram, 512 MB of video card... Very ancient... :) Ciao -- Valter *Open Source is better!* KDE: <a href="http://www.kde.org">www.kde.org</a> Kubuntu: <a href="http://www.kubuntu.org">www.kubuntu.org</a> LibreOffice: <a href="http://www.libreoffice.org">www.libreoffice.org</a> <div class="gmail_quote">Il giorno 20/dic/2011 13:09, "O.

But the point is that this stuff should not be in a release of an operating system. It does not work, and deeply affects the performance of the entire system. It should not be necessary to switch off core features just to get a useable computer. KDE really messed this one up, and lessons must be learned. </blockquote> A few months back I saw a post on a nepomuk developers blog re the fact that: - external interfaces were poorly or not documented and frequently changed - return codes/exceptions were undocumented and frequently changed - errors went largely unlogged and were ignored - logging in general was almost non-existent I commented that this was a recipe for disaster - in the large corporate projects I worked on it was essential for core services to be well documented and *essential* for them to log every error, especially unexpected ones. It paid off in spades when you were trying to debug weird shit happening on the various remote and obscure setups we had to work with. Sure you have to keep service specifications flexible, especially in development as new requirements/problem emerge, but you also have to be able to say enough is enough and tie it down. And always always document and make it transparent. My comment was deleted. </blockquote> I was hoping that with the upgrade from the last days the situation would have improved but nope. Nepomukindexer again chewing CPU, again reindexing folder(s) I have not touched since I can not remember. -- kubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div>
