Is there a way to check your up/down speed using the terminal? My internet connection seems to be limited at about 1MB/s, judging from how one program works, after reinstalling OS.
how can I check if disk devices are running at the proper speed (read/write access)?What are, for example, the correct values for ATA o SCSI device, if I test them with hdparm?
I am new to Debian but not Linux-based systems. I have been experimenting a lot with Debian Lenny/Squeeze. I am growing more comfortable each day with the Debian design. Yet there remain many unexplored areas. I am creating a migration check list. Things to check, prepare, or reconfigure when moving from one Linux-based system to Debian.
I have a good computer background and my current check list probably is fairly good. Yet I would appreciate input and opinions from experienced Debian users of things to watch in such a migration. Login defs, passwd/group files, different directory locations, keymaps, services and daemons, etc. I am not too concerned with the desktop as I plan to stick with KDE 3.5 for a while and I can basically move those settings across.
Ubuntu 64bit. The sound system works and plays noises correctly when I test the speakers in sound preferances. The internet BBCi player(Radio) plays sound correctly. Banshee & Rhythmbox try to play music files at double, or more, speed with no sound output. Spotify Linux version also tries to playback at double speed with no sound output. Media Player attempts to play music files at high speed. Media player plays the Video and audio tracks at high speed. VLC Will play the video at normal speed but with no audio.
Below is the recipe I've used to compile dwm from source on Squeeze
su apt-get install devscripts debian-keyring apt-get build-dep dwm exit
It all seems to work, however debuild gave an error about secret keys. Is this a sensible procedure? What happens in the (probably unlikely) event there is another source patch?I've gone to a tiling window manager as the result of the purchase of a wide screen LCD monitor. I like to have some stuff down the right hand side when running Firefox and OpenOffice in the main panes. Any configuration tricks welcome. Modern screens are the wrong shape!
i both have the same problem, i'm trying to burn my images at 4 or 8 speed, but ubuntu 10.04 says that the hardware does not support that kind of speed and switch up to 16 speed and more. i know it can burn at low speeds, at least in windows, it is a bit strange that fast burning is okee, and slow not, what can i do to prevent this? i don't wanna burn to much errors on my discs
I am experiencing the slow transfer speed from my Lenny to Windows 7. Both of my NIC's are oboard Nvidia nForce 1GBPs. For example 200MB transfer from Win to Lenny (default samba shares) takes about a minute, while the other way around takes an hour!!!. I get similar transfer behavior through sFTP.
Can somebody clarify if the problem is in NIC drivers, MTU (I can't set it up higher than 1500), or smb.conf settings
I have a 500gB USB drive connected to my laptop for backups and filestorage. But I can't get it to play nice with Midnight Commander. My transfer speeds max ut at 2MB/s wich is painfully slow when moving large files such as movies. Worker FM transfers the same files to the same drive much MUCH faster (not sure by how much, though). This leads me to the conclusion that the problem lies with MC.
I wanted to play with Kali Linux, so since my T430 has two USB 3.0 ports I bought a USB 3 thumb drive and put the image on it.It boots fine and all, but I recently read that the T430 downgrades the USB port from 3 to 2 when you boot from a device connected to it.I followed instructions here: URL...
Code:
Select allroot@kali:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=./largefile bs=8k count=10000 10000+0 records in 10000+0 records out 81920000 bytes (82 MB) copied, 0.0670296 s, 1.2 GB/s root@kali:~# sh -c "sync & echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
Is it possible to control the speed of the CPU fan in my desktop computer? The CPU runs cool at 30C yet the fan sits around 2700rpm and the BIOS doesn't allow for speed control.
I have a multiboot system with Windows Seven and Debian Squeeze installed.
When i run Windows, the fans in my PC work silently, but when i run Debian they making extremely terrible noise (looks like they working at full capacity).
I have 4 fans in my chasis, 1 CPU, 1 GPU and 1 PSU, 7 total.
I am using debian(lenny) on a pc coexisting with windows. I use grub to decide which o/s to boot.
I picked debian, logged in as a regular user. I selected "Administration" under the "System" tab and then selected "Update Manager". I had to provide the root password.
I was asked to insert Binary DVD-1 and was told to use smart update. I did at which time 16 files begun downloading at between 4400 B/s and 4800 B/s from the Security server. It looks like it is downloading a new linux image.
I currently have debian installed dual booting with windows 7. Whenever I go to speedtest.net I ger over 20mbs with windows 7 and .098mbs with debian and ubuntu can wnyone tell me what is going on. I called AT&T Uverse and they said that I had over 900 file sharing sessions still open and that is what was causing the problem so they reset my network gateway for me ad we tried again, same thing debian low ethernet speed windows 7 very high ethernet speed can anyone help me out with this
I'm using an nvidia geforce 9500 gt with the nvidia kernel module. The manual clocking in nvidia-settings works the manual fan speed too but only between 35 and 100. Got coolbits 5 in my xorg.conf file.
What is the usual download speed for updates to the Debian system using the update option under the Administration tab? I am just getting 4700 B/s, but have 5 Mb/s DSL. Is this due to overload of Debian website?
How to verify that Debian is running at 100 Mbps or 1000 Mbps? I can view the report from 'ifconfig eth0' but I can't see how fast the link has been established.
Using Openshot, flowblade, or Kdenlive, when video gets rendered into mp4, it comes out at increased speed, both audio and video (seems like double speed but could be a different ratio)
When I play the exported mp4 with VLC for example, it shows the proper video length, not shortened. The video plays at high speed and for the second half of the video it just shows the last frame of the video until it runs out of time.
I have used Openshot extensively and have never had this problem, so I installed all the other video editors I could, and the problem persists (pitivi has a dependency problem so I haven't been able to use it).
I have tried several video players as well, all doing the same (VLC and Smplayer)
I am running Debian stable jessie, 64 bit, xfce

I mount a BD-RE in Debian Jessie to write about 20GB of data. But the writing speed is terrible slow. I get a Speed of 250kb/sec.
Are there any options to increase the speed of writing? I don't use packet writing and no wodim, no growisofs, nothing. I just mounted the disk and I use mc (Midnight commander) to copy the data.
Yesterday I've installed Debian 8.1.0 on my desktop pc. I'm using Nvidia GT 730. After booting, the GPU fan runs at very high speed and really gets overheated. I didn't install any drivers etc.
Is there a solution for this or do i have to switch to Intel/ATI to use Linux? I said Linux, because every distros i've installed makes Nvidia chipset overheated and the fan runs at max. speed.
1 - I got the array up and running on three Seagate 1.5TB HDDs, filled it up in 6 months (mostly by putting all of my stuff in one place)
2 - Unknowingly, I bought a WD15EARS HDD, partitioned it as I would any normal drive and asked mdadm to grow my array over to the new partition
3 - Worried by abysmal read/write speed, I investigated, found out how to deal with the new HDD ( here or here )
4 - Being a newbie at this, I opted to do a trial run before wiping the disk and unmount/mount the partitions, LVM layers, SW RAID array. This is there I messed up.
I got a new machine with GA-p55A-ud3 mobo and a WDC WD10EARS 1T disk. When I tried to benchmark the disk IO, I was suprised by the low write speed:
[Children see throughput for 1 initial writers = 35962.63 KB/sec Parent sees throughput for 1 initial writers = 35962.63 KB/sec Min throughput per process = 35962.63 KB/sec
I have a Compaq 8710w and after upgrading to the latest Debian/testing (Linux version 4.1.0-1-amd64)the fan runs at full speed all the time. There seems to be something strange with the temperatures reported by temp4, it is stuck at 100 degrees.:
Since 2.6.38 ath9k has become slow as a snail. After searching this issue I have found a solution. Create a file called /etc/modprobe.d/ath9.conf in this file enter thisoptions ath9k nohwcrypt=1Reboot or reload the module and enjoy high speed again.
Have 4xSamsung F4 HDDs in an Ex503, Raid 05 - don't know how to format them to get maximum speed out of them. I've read [URL] tor_issues and other things but guess i am too dumb. Some claim using GPT Partition table and gparted and i shouldn't have any problems because it's automatically doing what i want, but i am not sure about that.
A few months back I performed a routine aptitude upgrade on a Squeeze installation on a DELL Vostro desktop. My eth0 upload speed is now very bad although download speed is good. I suspect that it could be related to my other problem [URL] which was caused by the OS enabling noveau driver instead of the installed NVIDIA proprietary drivers.
I'm experiencing very slow network speeds in one direction (out) on a clean install of debian.

I've tried with different cables on the server, no luck. Also note that the laptop gets full speed to speedtest.net as per my internet subscription (75/75 gbit fiber), so the laptop can be ruled out as a problem since it gets more than 75X performance to the internet compared to the local server.
The main purpose of this server is to be a virtualbox host. I've set up one guest system and ran iperf between the host/guest (bridged network). It gives better numbers, still the host -> guest direction is much slower than it should be:
