I just upgraded Mageia on my HP laptop. Generally speaking, the upgrade from Mageia 6.1 to 7.1 (using the installer DVD) went well. All applications seem to be working so far, the desktop looks just as before, the network connection is fine, even Virtualbox works.
My only problem is that a couple of processes seem to put a high load on the CPU from the moment I log into my user account. This causes the laptop fan to make a lot of noise because it's always on full speed, and the system to be slower than usual. I also suspect that the battery will run down faster once I unplug.
It seems as if systemd-journald and baloo_file_extractor were the two processes with significant CPU usage according to the top command. I'm not competent enough to know what these are doing. But I've left the system to run for a couple of hours now, so I don't think the issue will just go away.
When I log into another user account (which is basically blank because I only use it for testing), these processes don't create such a high load, the fan stays quiet, and the system works as expected. So the problem only seems to happen in my user account, which is unchanged from Mageia 6.1 and was working normally before the upgrade.
Who can give me an idea about how to solve this issue?
