After a Linux Mint update today, I seem to have numerous problems that I did not have before the update. ** The k-write text editor that prefer to use is now failing in multiple ways, failing to save files, locking up, shows this error message whenever I try to open a text file: ... loading file to text editor ... Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. please move it to /home/joe/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf manually Bus::open: Can not get ibus-daemon's address. IBusInputContext::createInputContext: no connection to ibus-daemon ** Even opening the terminal command line is slow. ** Chrome browser won't open at all. ** Lots of seemingly extraneous processes running. root 1 0 0 15:07 ?
