Aramo Desktop does not work

Hi,
I installed Trisquel 11 with KDE on an other desktop at work.
It is a Lenovo Ideapad 320, Intel Core i3-6006U CPU@ 2 GHz.
It is a weak laptop, everything needs time.
After installing with sudo do-release-upgrade
everything went fine, but it took almost 5 hours.
On the second day I had to set up icedove because thunderbird from
Trisquel 10 was gone
and after that suddenly my desktop collapsed.
There were briefly a message:
do you want to send a message to ... because of a bug...
I hesitated and later I couldn’t do it anymore.
Every symbol on my desktop was gone,
I couldn’t start any programme
except the console with Contr + Alt + T
no GUI interface worked.
may be the X-server...
I don’t know.
I managed to install updates via the console
but that didn’t help.
Something is working in the background,
some noise,
to open any programme like libreoffice takes 5 min
but you can’t work in it.
So at the moment I can do nothing with this laptop.
After restarting 10 times, nothing helped.

Kind regards

How much disk space did you give it @Gottfried? I had a similar situation recently on an installation where I only gave it 32gb of disk space and I told Trisquel to do the recommended disk partitioning during installation. The installer makes a small separate root partition, which I (unknowingly) quickly filled up to 100% which made it impossible to do anything with the system. I had to re-install and give the entire disk space to the root directory and not have a separate home partition.
You could put a live version of Trisquel on a USB drive and use that to start up your system, and use the "disks" program to look at your partitions on your hard drive. You would also want to make sure the system has enough memory, as the KDE version of Trisquel is going to require more memory. If it is a low memory device of about 2gb or lower, you probably would have to use Trisquel Mini instead of KDE.
Hi,
thanks for your help.
I had trisquel 10 with KDE installed on this laptop. Everything worked fine.
So I thought trisquel 11 would not be a problem.
I can today at work check your proposals.
Hi,
I had 200 GB diskspace for KDE, so that was not the problem.
I guess, something else,
I managed somehow to send something to Trisquel, so it should be possible to look at it.
I am going to install additionally MATE desktop, if I will manage, and will hopefully see, if KDE is the problem.
Besides that, today I installed Trisquel Mini LXDE desktop beside the other Trisquel 11 KDE installation.
and set up everything,
today it was working. We will see.
Unfortunately I must have made a mistake because it created additonally a partition with only 14 Gb, 7 Gb are now used, 7 Gb are free.
For Trisquel mini it is fine, I can work, that’s the most important.
And besides this partition there is the other partition of Trisquel 11 KDE which I would have to reduce, to get additionally space, but than it will be space at the end of this partition, not at the beginning.
I would need space at the beginning to add this to the 14 Gb partition of Trisquel mini, which is before this partition.
Is there any possibility to do that?

I'm not the one to ask about shrinking partitions. I frequently wipe my hard drives and re-install, so for me, I would not hesitate to re-format the drive and reinstall on a laptop like yours using the entire drive for Trisquel.
Hopefully someone else will come along and answer your question about shrinking and moving partitions.
I did think about another thing that can cause KDE installations to become too slow is that KDE usually runs a system-wide search and indexing program, I think it's called Balloo. Back in the past when I used to use KDE, I recall that Balloo would take over the system and not allow me to do much for the first few days while it indexed everything for desktop search in a painfully slow manner. Maybe that is what you are running into with that KDE installation?
thank you very much for your help
Yes, Baloo is the problem,
because there is some programme working in the background .
I had this problem also earlier and turned baloo off (I forgot, how I did this)
and now I have forgotten about baloo.
To disable baloo, according to this thread: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1214572/how-do-i-stop-and-remove-kde-baloo-that-is-broken-and-filling-up-my-syslog-file
... you would use this command:
balooctl config set contentIndexing no
According to the more official KDE documentation: https://community.kde.org/Baloo/Configuration
--- You would edit the file '~/.config/baloofilerc' and look for the following setting and change it to "false":
[Basic Settings]
Indexing-Enabled=true
I don't have KDE installed, but I think the above should help you. Let me know if not.
thanks for help
baloo is not the problem.
I disabled it.
The KDE Desktop breaks constantly.
You can’t do almost anything on the GUI.
Only using the commondline.
In which /var/log files can I find the messages to find out what breaks in KDE?
Hi,
today I installed Trisquel Mini Aramo again.
and deleted the Aramo KDE installation, because the GUI breaks down constantly and I lost again a lot of time to deal with it. After adding MATE Desktop to this installation didn’t help. Through configuring my additional monitor in MATE I got into trouble and couldn’t see any menu any more. Solving it took a long time and I didn’t succeed.
So I installed Trisquel Mini again, because it takes less time.
and the new installation went fine, no problems with the Trisquel Mini version.
Hopefully it will stay that way.
