Fedora 15 is very slow (shaking) when I do just about anything (drag and drop, text editor, chat, web ...) but the CPU is not being used up.
I keep Fedora update to the latest version with the current time. I don't know how to view log system in Fedora so can't log log to it.
I'm an Ubuntu user since Jaunty, and I've always upgraded my system (NOT fresh install). Everything went fine, but yesterday I upgraded to Lucid. My only concern -for now- deals with startup time. I'm a desktop user (Core2@3GHz) so I think I should boot in less than 10 seconds. Anyway, boot time is 30 seconds - not too much, but there is definetly something wrong with tools I don't know (ureadahead, plymouth, etc.). Attached is my bootchart: can anyone explain me what's wrong?
Also, I don't even see a plymouth Ubuntu themed bootsplash: I only see a blank (black) screen standing for seconds, then I see the bootsplash for less then half a second, then GDM appears :S Not crucial -I know- but how can I fix it? (I don't know if it's related, but I can see the animation at shutdown)Finally, GNOME desktop takes too long to load. I don't know why, but there are 15/30 seconds in between login sound and a usable desktop (with panels and icons, I mean).Please help me, I don't want to do a fresh install. Boot speed is not a dial with desktops - I know - but it can be a symptom that my system is a bit a messy (and I don't like it, since I installed Jaunty less then 1 year ago). (!Forgot! I also installed grub2 by hand
I have the following nasty issue:I am using fedora 12 and I use vpn for working remote.When I browse the internet the speed is very slow!even when I do a yum update it downloads the packages with max 100kb. if I drop the vpn connection I download the packages with 1Mbdo you know what the problem could be? i created the vpn connection using the network manager...it is a regular pptp connection for the vpn!

When i drag the file(s) into the USB disk folder, it starts out fine and pretty darn fast (25mb/sec) then slowly decreases until it's unbearably slow (3m/sec) and as a side effect my whole system starts deteriorating. I basically have to wait for the file to finish transferring before i can use my desktop again!
This has been happening with every version since Karmic (all 64bit)- I put up with it because I don't use the USB stick that much.. but lately it's been my go to source for transfering large files to/from work.
I am running Fedora-13 64 bit on my Dell Laptop, The same Laptop has Windows-7 as well (dual boot system). I have chosen ext3 filesystem while installing fedora. The file transfer speed in Fedora-13 over the network to my network drive comes out to be not more than 5MBPS.Where as in Wndows-7 I am getting the speed of around 10~12 MBPS. Also I found that copying files in USB flash drive is very slow than in Windows-7 . What could be the problem? To add it , I have another Laptop Running Ubuntu-10.04 , which also performs network transfers at 10~12 MBPS. So its just the fedora-13 who has this problem. As far as I remember this was not the case with Fedora-12

fter using Ubuntu and finding it way too unstable, Opensuse and finding it bloated, Arch and finding it confusing, I have finally settled on Fedora 11.The problem that I am having is a minor annoyance. I found that my default user couldn't use Sudo, so I added the following to the sudoers file:Quote:USER_NAME ALL=(ALL) ALL -- Where User_Name is the the name of my default user.The problem is that I can now use sudo but it is incredibly slow. For example if I type sudo yum install _____It'll ask me for my password and then pause for a minute or two literally before proceeding. It isn't the network causing this problem because it does the same thing if I issue commands that are specific to files only on my computer. Interestingly enough I don't have this problem if I use tty, only in Konsole.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhy is X in F11 so slow. I have worked with fedora laptop since spring 2006. The first one was F5 and then F7. The X ran always very quickly,. well, at least quick enough. I did not feel any need to upgrade to F8 F9 or F10. I heard from my friend that new F11 is awsome. So I decided to change form F7 to F11. Result was quite big disappointment. The only good things were speed of Firefox and Opera. Specialliy Opera was like like greased lightning. But raw X applications were like snails. I mean applications compiled with lesstif or motif for example.
My machine is Acer TravelMate 2410. 1.5GHz and 512 MB RAM. Yes its old, but not too old. Can I tweak F11 somehow to make it work ?

View 7 Replies View RelatedYesterday I installed F13 onto a somewhat older machine of mine, to test out some software that I've been developing, and while it works quite well in general, there's a couple of situations where gtk+ seems to be incredibly slow. Most notably, that app lets the user click-and-drag a large map inside a scrolled window; the app updates the scrollbars appropriately. On F13, the click-and-drag starts to lag behind the mouse almost immediately. I had been developing this app on another distro (Gentoo) prior to installing F13 on the machine, and never had this issue then - I've even doublechecked by booting that box onto a Gentoo LiveCD and trying from there, and the speed of click-and-drag is totally fine.
Additionally, and possibly-related: the highlighting which follows the mouse around as you mouseover the map seems to lag behind as well. Otherwise, the system responds quite quickly. Now, the box is an Athlon XP 2100+ (1.73GHz) with an nVidia 7600GS (AGP) - I've tried using all three of nv, nouveau, and the binary nVidia drivers (both from rpmfusion, and compiled from nvidia.com), and I get the same lag using any of those X drivers. I've tried changing the desktop theme (in Preferences->Appearance) to some more "basic" themes, but that hasn't affected anything. I've also tried hopping into a very basic WM outside of Gnome (icewm) but the problem persists there.
Is there some kind of global "smooth scrolling" gtk+ option I could turn off somewhere, perhaps? Run into this kind of weird, selective gtk+ slowness before? I hadn't thought to try before, but I've just verified that I get the same behavior with the "vesa" driver. The system is otherwise snappy, but that click-and-drag is still horribly slow. I just tried it out on an Ubuntu LiveCD, and the speed is also totally fine on there. Just, you know, as one more datapoint. So I went ahead and put together a simple test-case which is removed from the actual application, and it still exhibits the same behavior for me. On Fedora 13 it's quite laggy, on other distros on the same hardware it's totally fine. [URL]

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just installed a fresh copy of Fedora 11 x64 on my Dell XPS M1530. Last week I purchased a NAS device and backed up my entire Fedora 9 x86 system on it. I have an NFS mount that I'm restoring my data from.
The first thing I noticed after installing is that downloading of very large files (several MB to several GB) over my wired network is extremely slow. What I'm seeing is that it will download 3 - 5MB then pause for several seconds and download another few MB and so on. If I download a lot of small files from the NAS device it works fine and very fast. If I upload large files to the NAS they upload fast. If I boot into Vista and download large files from the NAS it is fast. If I use my wifi card to download large files from the NAS it downloads OK (not too fast but it is wifi so naturally slower).
In Fedora 9 I did not have this issue. I'm not sure if the issue is specific to NFS or if it is will all large files via the ethernet port (I don't have a way to test at the moment). lspci says 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 12). dmesg doesn't indicate any issues.
This individual has been within the Ohio State computer labs for sometime because educational endeavors ceased building another Linux personal computer since the last AMD Socket A smouldered within a RAM melt. (Have on idea way there was a smoulder because over clocking was not invoked!) This query is interesting because almost all of the new processors sold are sixty four bit. Flash which is still alpha or beta and a couple of Google applications have not been fully embraced upon the x84-64 architecture which is problematic!
Why? This is just a random post that might be locked or deleted but an individual has been disturbed with the lack of x86-64 application support within Linux considering Unix operating systems have been upon this architecture for an extended period compared to Microsoft operating systems. Citing that SUN or now Oracle possessed the sixty four but architecture when this individual started to dabble within the I.T. industry many years ago. There is still substantial grief that Redhat did not purchase SUN for the hardware.
I have Fedora 11 installed on a Dell Precision M60 lap-top, running KDE. I've used KDE for years, but a number of issues with KDE 4 had forced me to look at alternatives recently. With F11, KDE 4 seems to be getting more functional, being more or less usable for real work... However, a couple weeks ago, I ran "yum update" and picked up KDE 4.3.1, and while it seems to have fixed a few more things, there also seems to be a regression in terms of performance - on this lap-top anyway.
Basically any window operation -- opening a new one, moving, resizing, even moving the mouse from one window to another (I use auto-focus) -- is slow, and during this time the CPU load from the "X" process becomes very high -- close to 100% according to "top". When not "touching" any windows, CPU load goes back to normal. I did run across some advice to turn off desktop effects, which I did -- it reduced the sluggish response slightly, but the problem is still present. And I had the same settings before the update, and performance was fine.
Here is some info about this machine:

I run F12. Since some days my laptop has become very sluggish. In Mozilla, switching between the tabs takes like seconds instead of fraction of a second. Also minimizing and mximizing windows takes long. Switching between the windows too takes long. Now I can't see the cursor while typing this post. I disabled some services that start at the boot time. I'm posting a list of services that are on in the runlevel 5 as that's the one I use.

After about two minutes, the blinking cursor is replaced by the normal boot screens and the machine works fine.

I purchased a WD My Book with Firewire. What I have noticed is that whether I run Fedora or Ubuntu, the file transfers are slow compared to Windows Vista. The drive is formatted NTFS. For example, on the Fedora system I get about 30MB/s. Boot into Vista and I get about 36MB/s. On my laptop, using Ubuntu, I get about 36MB/s. In Vista on the same laptop I get about 48MB/s. It was around 35MB/s in Vista, but then I turned on the drive caching (a Vista setting for "performance"). So my guess is that Linux in general has the same issue.
I notice a similar story with wireless N on the laptop. Much slower in Ubuntu than in Vista, by almost 50%. Why would this be? I tried Fedora Live on the laptop as well, but got no better results for either wireless-N or firewire400. What I do notice is that I get the following when attaching the drive:

I'm trying to burn a DVD on Fedora 12 using:
- a LG BH08LS20 [ BR burner ] (either SATA or USB)
- a LiteOn LDW-851S [ DVD burner ] (USB)
It's slow (reported speed of 0.3x). The same burner in windohz or Ubuntu gives full speed. The LG is new but the LiteOn burner was working fine on previous Fedora.
Just switched from a pata dvd burner to a brand new sata dvd burner. I cannot believe how slow it is! My write speeds in any program I use tops out at .9 and slows dramatically down to .3 alot.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've just recently come back to Fedora from OpenSuSE, where all of my compositing worked beautifully before my hard disk took a big dump. Now that I have Fedora 13 installed, I've gone through the ridiculous hassle of eliminating nouveau so that my NVIDIA drivers can do all the work. Everything seems fine except that some of the animations of desktop effects are very slow and choppy. For example, the minimize window animation looks great, but upon un-minimizing, the animation gets choppy and slow. Same with the slide animation for the dialogue windows. Transitions of the desktop cube work just fine. Show windows animation works good on zoom out, but zooming back in is slow and choppy.
I'm quite puzzled here. Originally I used the NVIDIA driver from rpmfusion. I've had troubles before (with OpenSuSE) with the version in the repos, so I tried installing the latest version from the NVIDIA website. No changes though.
