ubuntu freezes and hogs CPU specifically with 2.6.32-22-generic kernel

[Robert Persson]

Binary package hint: kdenetwork

I am finding that Kopete freezes and hogs CPU very soon after starting. When it first tries to start I get the prompt to enter my password, but it freezes very soon after that. If I kill it and try to start it again, a window may come up, but then it will freeze. When I say it hogs CPU, I am talking about anything up to 49% on my Core2Duo.

Strangely, I get this problem with the standard Lucid 2.6.32-22-generic kernel, but I don't get it with the 2.6.33*-realtime kernels I've been using from someone's PPA. I don't think I've tested it enough to absolutely rule out coincidence, but I've tried it several times each way nonetheless.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
