Hello:

I am running 10.04 on an AMD-64 CPU. I have been noticing a slowdown on
occasion for several months. System Monitor shows 100% CPU and more
network activity than I would expect. This occurs when Firefox and
Thunderbird are running. Running 'top' shows 'virtuoso-t' taking 46.9%
of CPU and two instances of 'nepomukservices' taking 18% and 15% of CPU.

Are these malware of some kind?

Nepomuk is sorta, although it is included with a KDE install. It'll eat your cpu until it's done cataloging everything on your machine for hours, to make it easy to hand over all evidence to the FBI.

I dumped KDE when I tried to remove nepomuk with synaptic. It popped up and said it would have to remove all traces of KDE and it's desktop. I replied "Hell yeah.." and savagely hit the ENTER key with a sneer ...I haven't used KDE since. I won't have my desktop bound to something I happen to loathe and I'll have nothing to do with a mindset that goes "My Way Or The Highway" with me. T

here is no earthly reason to have a desktop search rule my preferred install. It should be an added option for the user and nothing more than that.

There are maybe ten people on Earth, and a semi-sentient frozen gas on the surface of Titan, that uses Nepomuk. The gas is considered a criminal by his/her/its kind and is in hiding, his/her/its real whereabouts are unknown. But, he/she/it is all over the Internet, posting as the user "anonymous". :) Ric
