OpenSUSE :: Ktorrent Does Return From Sleep Nicely
Apr 2, 2011
I have KDE DE in openSUSE 11.4 Tumbleweed.
The issue is with Ktorrent.
When I put the machine to sleep (suspend to ram) with Ktorrent running and then wake the machine up again, the torrents that were working do resume. But they resume in a very poor fashion, continually going into and out of "stalled" status. This bad connectivity continues indefinitely.
I have to kill Ktorrent and restart it to get good data flow back for the torrents that are running. Is there an explanation for this? And is there something I can do to make the torrents resume nicely when I bring the machine back from sleep?
Running openSuSE 11.3 w/ a KDE 4.x desktop. Every time I'm using KTorrent, when I come back into the office and "wake" the monitor, I find KTorrent has crashed and I have to restart it. So I'm guessing that KTorrent is crashing either when my monitor goes to sleep mode or when I'm waking it up. I've tried changing some settings but when the system is running, I cannot seem to access the monitor control panel. Pressing the menu button on the side of the monitor does not bring up the monitor menu. There used to be an easily noticed "Desktop Settings" in KDE 3 but I'm not finding the equivalent in KDE 4. How to keep this Samsung SyncMaster 997DF 19" CRT from going into sleep mode?
Is it possible to run ktorrent from a command-line, or more to the point:from a cron job I like ktorrent, it does it job well. But it bugs me that I have to log inand remain so, just to run an app who's interface is not even required mostof the time.Unfortunately, my provider imposes a montly volume. Nice big volume, but notimposible to run it dry. On the other hand, they count nightly traffic atonly half to actual volume.So I'd like to be able to start ktorrent at a certain time after midnight,and interrupt it at dawn. Or maybe just shutdown the machine at dawn.
I've noticed this weird behavior where kTorrent would just stall downloading stuff if left on its own for a few hours. Once you activate kTorrent window from the panel it just gets on with the job, changing status from "stalled" to "downloading" in a few seconds.
Could it have something to do with the external disk I'm downloading on (some of the downloads, not all) being physically different one and connected via usb but mounted in a home directory?
I suspect this because Windows machine connected via samba also loses connection after a while as if there's some "time expiration" set on mounting drives into home.
i come from ubuntu installation and i have had opensuse before and i remember installing any of thede two without any problem on any of many harddisk arrangement. but thge ltest opensuse 11.3 doesnt pllay nice with my windows and ubuntu installation booting. i reember using boot loader in yast and it used to load the coorect setting from scratch. but now when i chose "propose new configuration" and it founds opensuse and three other windows!
After I finish a download in ktorrent, the torrent stops seeding.
A couple of notes: my download speeds are fantastic (~6mb/s), while my seeding during download is about 60kb/s. However, this seed speed seems to fluctuate a lot from about 3kb/s. Once the download completes, the seed goes to 0kb/s, and the torrent doesn't find as many leachers. For now, after I finish downloading, I re-download a portion of my download at a limited rate of 1kb/s so that the seed continues.
Lastly, I am currently running through a VPN server, however I this issue happens even if I'm running a normal connection.
When I am running Ktorrent it takes about 30 seconds for a web page to open, in stead of 1 or 2 seconds. The download speed is very slow 200B/s and the status of most of the torrents is "Stalled". If have opened TCP and UDP ports 36477 4444 6881, 7881, 8881 and added them to the port forwarding list in my router. No difference.
This setup used to work: MS Access running under Win2K in a virtualbox on a Debian machine. Win98 running on a 230MHz PC using VNC to use the MS Access. The Windows PC is upstairs, the Linux boxes are downstairs. I have not used this setup for about a year or more. Since then KDE 3.5 was vandalised and renamed KDE4. I upgraded the Virtual machine to Win XP.
Now the Linux boxes are not accessible via VNC. All the client gets is a grey screen. This goes for Linux-Linux and Windows-Linux connections. I can connect from the Win98 to the Virtual machine but the connection is slow and the display is poor. I have gathered that VNC and KDE4 do not play nicely together. I would prefer a "least effort" solution for the time being. Later on I can set up a Linux box to replace the Win 98 one.
Is there any way to turn off the load balancing that occurs when ubuntu detects two active network connections? To be more specific, I have two networks set up, one of which is supposed to be for regular web traffic while the other network is dedicated to streaming various things throughout the house. Whenever I try to connect my server to both networks at once ubuntu "load balances" traffic from the web network onto the streaming network, which completely defeats the segregation I was going for. So far all of my attempts to turn off that behavior haven't worked at all. I'm currently running Ubuntu 10.10.
I can eventually use the ssd for a Gentoo install but it takes too much work(more than it should). What happens is that every live or install cd I've tried automatically decides that the ssd is a raid device and sets it up as raid with double the size. Its 32GB and its set up as 64GB. Of course it doesn't work.
I have to manually unmount, turn off dmraid, install and then disable dmraid completely(I have trouble doing this on OpenSuse). The SSD I'm using is a Patriot100 MLC 32GB. Other SSD's that I've tried have no problem being found and manipulated with cfdisk, fdisk or parted but my Patriot SSD just doesn't want to play nice.
so I installed openSUSE 11.3 KDE and fooled around with it and the Plasma Netbook Workspaces and am now back with the regular KDE. Unfortunately something I have done has now caused me to not be able to do simple tings like change the wallpaper, or add Widgets to the desktop. Everything seems to "technically" work, so I suspect that it was a configuration somewhere that I messed up.
Is there a directory or directories I can delete and then log out and back in which will create the environment with default settings? I've done this with Gnome and Xfce when I've really messed it up and it has fixed things a number of times, but I am not sure where KDE stores their config files. I believe is it openSUSE 11.3 with the KDE version that came with it and it was installed from a LiveCD.
In the indicator-applet next to the clock, I have a list of programs which includes Pidgin. Now it used to be a case where if I opened Pidgin logged onto the services and closed the window, it would run in the background and i could re-open the window from the indicator-applet and get notifications of people logging on etc.Now for one reason or another that doesnt happen no more. I can open it through the applet, but if i close the window, it shuts the program down...also if Pidgin is running, i get NO notifications of people logging on, new messages etc.
I have just moved home and now have to place my computer a fair distance from my router. Running a cable is not practical therefore I am looking for a wireless card that plays nicely with Ubuntu (and linux in general). I am resident in the UK.
Planning to return to suse after a gap of two years. Is anyone using xephem and gcompris. Or can some one submit the link for how to install of these programmes.
After sleep (sleep to RAM), I want to recover it, but the system have no responses, just the power light is on. Then, I only can turn off the power, and restart it.
How can I check this problem? some logs?
My laptop is Acer AS4530, and os is openSUSE 11.4 x86_64, Desktop is KDE 4.6 .
A fresh install of 11.2 with Gnome (all updates applied, only recommended standard repos enabled) turned the screen black after the predefined time of 5 minutes. The screensaver is set to "Blank screen" and screen lock is disabled. The PC did not wake up again and was not ping'able from the outside. The last words in /var/log/messages are code...
My problem is, firefox (3.6.12 and 4.0 beta 7) freezes for seconds/minutes and enters in disk sleep state (the usb-storage process too). My system is an EeePC 701, openSUSE 11.3 x86, with the /home and swap partitions on a SD card.
Firstly, wol works fine from shutdown and hibernate; it's just suspend which doesn't work.
I've got 2 types of workstations, all running 11.1. They both have this kernel: 2.6.27.45-0.1-default #1 SMP 2010-02-22 16:49:47 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Type 1 is a dell optiplex 745, bios version 2.4.1. Here's the relevant bit from lspci: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) Kernel driver in use: tg3 Kernel modules: tg3
[Code]....
The fact that it's happening across two different machines makes me wonder if it is some OS setting I've missed, but then maybe neither card/driver supports it from suspend.
I'd really like to get them waking from suspend because training users to use suspend rather than hibernate would be a pain. Also, being able to configure such that it only wakes from suspend and not hibernate/shutdown, as implied in the bios, would allow me to wake machines up for backups etc only when the users are here, rather than on holiday/seconded to another department etc.
My laptop won't wake from sleep. I hit the powerbutton and it'll blink a few more times, turn green and the keys will light up but the screen stays black.
Running sony vaio s with windows 7 and 11.4 duelboot. I really need it to be able to suspend and wake because I'll be taking it to college in the fall.
Recently, I found my system can't sleep or hibernation. Whatever I click "sleep(suspend to memory)" or "hibernation(suspend to disk), the system just lock the screen, don't sleep really.
On my CentOS 5.4 box I run dns, ssh, and smtp servers. This box also has to be able to resolve and browse websites. So basically it needs iptable rules for
TCP 22 25 80 443 UDP 53
My question is, which of these services work nicely with connection tracking? I'm a little confused about how connection tracking works. For example say this iptables rule for smtp
Code: iptables -A INPUT -s 0/0 --sport 513:65535 -d $myip --dport 25 -j ACCEPT versus
Code: iptables -A INPUT -s 0/0 --sport 513:65535 -d $myip --dport 25 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT So with connection tracking what exactly does it do that my first iptables rule does not do?
Also for centos is that port range correct? 2.6 Linux kernel randomly chooses a port 513-65535 when it connects to an external smtp server or say browses a site.
I am fairly new to opensuse/linux and have been running into a very intermittent I/O issue that I can not seem to pinpoint the source of. Just about any program that deals with any significant IO will fall into uninterruptable sleep. For example here are two instances of dd. The first time it hung in uninterruptable sleep and the second it was completely fine and performed as expected.
[Code]....
Monitoring disk I/O with iotop indicates normal performance for most of the time then all the sudden the read/write drops from ~60-80MB/s to 1-2MB/s. This happens for just about any program I run. It is not easily repeatable since it seems to randomly happen. My limited knowledge led me to believe that it could be a symptom of the old SLED 10 OS that i was running so I upgraded to openSUSE 11.4 earlier this week with no change. I have changed the journaling to ordered and the I/O scheduler to deadline as well as cfq to no avail.
After updating to openSUSE 11.3, and restarting my computer, I placed my computer in sleep(suspend to RAM) mode, and I lost my internet connectivity. I noticed that my computer was only connected through ethernet. After entering "dhclient eth0" in a terminal, I received the following output.
Code:
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
This is the first time that I have had issues with connecting to the Internet using Ethernet.
I have openSUSE 11.4 KDE (upgraded to Tumbleweed but that's not relevant here). The computer is a Dell Optiplex. My sleep (suspend to ram) and wake (restore from ram) work very well. The box can multiboot to windows 7 as well as to Linux.
In Linux, the restore process is triggered by pressing the power button on the front of the case. No other action will bring it awake.
In windows, the restore process is triggered by the power button but also by moving the mouse or touching the Escape key, spacebar etc.
Here's the question: how do I get the computer to wake in Linux by activating a key (or mouse, whatever) instead of just the power button (which is under the desk and hard to get to)?
