Hi there!
Strange things are going on here.
I've written here in the past about my performance problems. My dual-core

mainly swapping that caused this, and 8 G were not enough for me running

Um, huh? If it would need Qt 4.*, it would say that you need qt >=

Hi there!
I'm using the new udev with a separate /usr partition. It was encrypted,
and it seems there is no solution yet for this, so I moved it over to an
unencrypted volume - no problem, /usr is one partition where encryption
