Fedora :: F15 Copy To Usb Hogs The PC?
Aug 6, 2011
Don't know how to report to bugzilla, but first of all I want to know if it's only my PC or if you have this problem too. Today I started copy a 1.4 GByte from an internal disk (NTFS formatted) to a USB stick. The process is extremely slow (but this isn't a news, it always was with previous Fedora versions), in the meanwhile I tried to start Firefox and I found that it doesn't start: from KDE system monitor I see that Firefox starts loading but it blocks in "waiting for disk". Tried with some other program (Ksnapshot, Filezilla) and they're also extremely slow in loading when copy is active. When putting the copy process in pause, after some time programs starts opening.

I tried upgrading today from VirtualBox 3.1 to 3.2 (VirtualBox-3.2-3.2.0_61806_openSUSE111-1.x86_64.rpm) on my openSUSE 11.2 system and it's not cooperating. The installation itself went fine, but as soon as I try to start a guest, the VirtualBox process ramps up to 100% and stays there until I poweroff the guest. The guest itself is VERY slow. These guests worked fine on 3.1.
For example, if I start an openSUSE guest and stop the Grub counter, therefore leaving the screen at the Grub bootloader, the VirtualBox process remains at 100% forever, without any activity on the guest.I also have a Windows guest and it has the same problem.
I can obviously try downgrading again to 3.1, but I was hoping that someone else has run into this issue and knows what to do about it.

I dual boot windows and ubuntu, and fount it very nice. But when i run flash game at my chrome, i can see the CPU usage increase a lot. When it reaches max, the flash game will be 'flashing' and lag. I use latest stable google chrome and flash player. Any idea how to fix this? I encounter no problem when playing at Windows.
Spec:
Dell Inspiron 1427
Core2Duo T6400
Nvidia Geforce 9300m gs
4GB RAM
32 bit ubuntu maverick 10.10

I am trying to solve one problem: When i run my process in background it hogs around 96% of CPU. But when ran in foreground, CPU utilization is almost zero. Is there any difference b/n a background and a foreground process wrto CPU utilization?

Freshly installed and updated Ubuntu 10, the first thing I did was install Wine and the second was installed Steam under Wine. Steam will run, but the moment it opens, xorg's CPU usage jumps to around 70% and stays there. Graphics card is an old ATI Radeon 9600 pro.

I'll often run iceweasel for watching videos via flash (hulu, ....., et cetera) while working, in fedora I never noticed any performance problems, watching the video while using chrome for browsing, gedit for editing, et cetera, everything was responsive. Though, now on debian running iceweasel for the same purpose hogs memory and processor time, which slows down the responsiveness of the system as a whole, making it difficult to use other programs.I'm curious how I should go about troubleshooting this issue, and what diagnostics might help me find the solution.

My configuration is OpenSuSE 11.4/KDE4/32bit. I am noticing that for about 20 minutes (or more) after first login every time there is a process which takes 100% CPU for most of the time and, of course, slows everything down. The system monitor suggests it is the 'tracker-miner' process (whatever that is). Do I need the tracker-miner? What good does it do? Is there any way to stop it (not to start it)?

I have a 160GB harddrive which I installed a F12, would like to upgrade to a bigger drive, but I hate to have to re-install everything.
Recommend a good disk copy utility? The utility should be able to not only copy files, but boot sector and everything. So I just need to make a copy, change my BIOS to boot from the new drive and run everything as before.

Does software exist that does the following? Monitor processes and rank by CPU usage, as top does. Flag excessive CPU usage by individual processes, using rules and queries to a database of previous offenders. Offer a configurable setup to automatically terminate CPU hogs under certain circumstances. Might include replacing displayed browser pages with a notification screen. Add incident report to database for each offense. My personal favorite is Flash, which hides behind 'nspluginviewer'. It keeps my CPU warm even when it is not displaying anything. That heat equals wasted energy. Multiply that by the millions (probably billions) of computers worldwide that have sleeping Flash players running on them right now, and that equals a lot of wasted energy. Probably a coal-fired powerplant or two worth of wasted energy.

How to copy a Read-Only file in Linux and make the copy writable with a single cp command in Linux (Ubuntu 10.04)? The --no-preserve and --preserve seemed to be good candidates, except that they should "and" the mode flags, while what I am looking for is something that will "or" them (add +w mode).
More details: I have to import a repository from GIT to Perforce. I want that all Perforce depot files are Read-Only (that is how Perforce was designed), while all other files that were derived/copied from depot files are writable. Currently if a Makefile tries to copy a Read-Only file then the derived file will also be Read-only. This leads to build-errors when cp tries to overwrite Read-Only file second time. Of course the --force is a workaround here but then the derived file is also Read-Only. Also I do not want to mess with "chmod" after each "cp" command - I will do that only as the last resort.

I just purchased some shares data which came on cd in a zip file.When I try to copy the file from the cd I get a file input/output error.This happens whether I use cp in a terminal or if I try to cut and paste on the desktop.If I try to read it with the archive manager I get a similar error where the archive error complains about missing zipfile directory.I tried opening a couple of pdf files on the same disk and got input error for one and file is damaged for the other.Could this brand new disk be that damaged that it is totally corrupt? I cant see any scratches or anything on it.Any help copying this file to hard disk and unzipping would be appreciated.

I'm a newbe with linux, thought it's a great OS but I'm nearly giving up. Nothing works like it should, to copy stupid files across you have to be some kind of wizz to do it.
I installed fresh copy of fedora 13, created folder on the desktop and connected via usb external hd.
Now, there is no way of coping files from my desktop to the USB drive as i get"error while coping to USB-Storage" The destination is read-only. Permissions - sure but there is nothing there sa tehy could not be determined.
Anyway, hoping someone can give me a light from the dark tunnel, so i don't have to go back to windows..

I've been attempting to back up my collection of DVDs to an external hard drive using Brasero. I've successfully ripped many of the DVDs to ISO with Brasero, but am now wondering if it'd be possible to burn these back to other discs if I bought them in the future. In other words, does Brasero leave copy protection in place and just bypass it when ripping to ISO, or does Brasero remove copy protection all together leaving me with an decrypted ISO?

The installation of Fedora 11 on my hard disk went smoothly Next I wanted to use the method posted by terry60 on 2/19/2009 to boot multiple operating systems. However, I am getting hung up on getting a copy of /grub/menu.lstcopy of menu.lst is needed for use with EasyBCDIf I try to list the contents of menu.lst the Live CD operating system says permission denied and I need to be root Hence how can I get a copy of menu.lst when the Live CD operating system blocks my access.

As the post title says I have attempted to move my FC11 from a 120 gig ide drive to a 250 gig sata drive. I have tried all of the following with the same result listed below: Basic setup is as folows:
old hdd /dev/sda1 (boot) /dev/sda2(swap) /dev/sda3 (/)
attempt 1- boot fc11 live cd with old drive detected as sda and nwe drive detected as sdb.
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb bs=512
attempt 2 - boot into fc11 live cd fdisk remove old partitionon /dev/sdb and create exact copy of partition table on /dev/sda on /dev/sdb - mark /sdb1 as bootable and copy /dev/sda1 + /dev/sda3 to /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb3
dd if=/dev/sda* of=/dev/sdb* bs=512 (* denotes 1 or 3 respectively)
attempt 3 boot linux rescue cd based on debian
run gparted to remove old partitions on /dev/sdb
use gparted to copy partitions from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb
All of the above result in the following (as best as I can describe it)
system self checks OK
system loads GRUB menu -OK
system appears to load kernel and then hangs after outputting device information regarding my USB keyboard and mouse.
Is there some magic that I am missing? system.map perhaps? Additonal info: grub.conf looks like:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that

I was trying to make a copy of a DVD recently. I started with Brasero, and when that didn't work, I installed k3b. Both came back w/similar symptoms. Neither burned the DVD and seemed to hang up. When either program stopped/hung, I checked on the file that was being captured from the original DVD and discovered that both programs produced a max file of 1.5 GB (source was 6+ GB). I checked the size of the partition where the file was being temporarilty stored and there is 18 GB of space.

I am not a programmer so, with scripts I am cold.I need this.When I plug in USb external disk, a files and folders are automatically copied from one folder on fedora, to my USB disk. And if files or folder are already on USB disk, it skips copying. So it copies only new files and folders.
