OpenSUSE :: USB HDD Suddenly Run Slow / Why Is So?
Jul 12, 2010
I run a set scripts running under cron which make tar backups to an external
USB HDD.
Wednesday (7 July) night backup 22GiB took about 15min
Thursday (8 July) night backup 22GiB took 5hours 44min :-o
Nothing changed between these runs, the machine wasn't rebooted, the USB
device wasn't unmounted and remounted.
This has been a basic speed change - everything prior to 7 July runs at a
similar speed and everything since then is dead slow.
I've googled around and come up with things like ...
* Make sure the device is mounted async - I believe it is (options:
rw,defaults) but it wasn't remounted in between.
* Make sure that ehc1_hcd is loaded before uhc1_hcd - the entry in
/etc/modprobe.conf looks like it is and anyway there wasn't a reboot
between.
I dread to think how long a full
backup is going to take so I could definitely do with getting back to the
sort of speeds I used to get.

Shut down speed all of a sudden became slow.. I'm running 10.04 on a dual core 3.2gig cpu with 4 gig ram. Boot up is in seconds and shut down was almost instant. Now shut down takes about 15 seconds. Is there a way to see what is causing ubuntu to hang when shutting down?

All of my PHP web pages are now loading incredibly slow. I created a simple "Hello World!" script and timed retrieving it from a terminal using wget and it took 3min 9seconds. A wget of the home page of a PHP-based site also took 3min 9seconds. I have a PHP script that I run from the command line that I use to look for malicious FTP attempts and it took - you guessed it - 3min 9seconds. I am running Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and have applied all of the latest updates for that version.
One thing I did notice was a proliferation of apache2 processes. With every request for a page I seem to get 7 or so new apache2 processes.

All of a sudden, the startup (time from GRUB to Login Screen) has been quite slow. I recently installed a LAMP server. I've tried disabling httpd and mysql but it didn't seem to have any effect. I've attached my dmesg output below.

I have a dell dimension 4600. I just recently installed kubuntu 11.04. It was working fine for about an hour or so, and then it suddenly became slow and unresponsive.

I've just noticed that unrar is suddenly taking minutes to extract instead of seconds.
I can remember if its recently been updated, but I've uninstalled and reinstalled it and the version is: unrar.x86_64 0:3.7.8-3.fc10
I've found a few Ubuntu posts about it on Google, but in true Ubuntu fashion nobody has any answers!
What's odd is that when I unrar a file from (Nautilus or "unrar x *.rar") it takes say 4mins, then if I do it again it takes 15secs, like as if its caching somewhere.

I don't think any changes have been made to my laptop, but it suddenly loads Ubuntu extremely slowly. The time it takes to get from the Toshiba boot screen to the Ubuntu Log-in screen takes easily 20x as long.
Has anyone else been experiencing this kind of lag or have any ideas where to begin?

I have a VM setup in VirtualBox of Win XP. This VM has been setup for well over 4 years.
All of a sudden today, the VM started running very slow. I checked the task manager in Windows, nothing eating up PCU or memory there. I then ran htop. Attached is what I saw. There are many repeat processes with different PIDs.
Is this normal?

A couple of days ago my internet connections suddenly became very slow/intermittant.
I thought the problem was at my DSL provider but after more checking the problem seems to be in Ubuntu/Linux somewhere.
Reason: I can dual boot with windows 7 and have no ptoblem at all. Also I tried a Ubuntu laptop on the same router ethernet port and it also works fine. So its not my hardware or my provider, and its not a general Ubuntu problem either.
There are no error messages in any of the /var/log files and ifconfig looks normal.
It seems to be a DNS problem as it's the initial connection to a host which often times out. If I get a connection, I can e.g. stream an radio station fine.
If I try to e.g. traceroute any host it times out (no reply).
Ubuntu 10.10 is totally up to date as of today.
I'm stuck! How can I troubleshoot this to find the cause?

Today I changed my home router's security setting from WPA to WPA2, and my openSUSE 11.4 Tumbleweed system's network stopped working.It is very strange, because it can connect to the wireless no problem and it gets ip address and everything, but I cannot access any websites. I tried to revert the router setting back to WPA, but still the same.Funny thing is I can actually open the router admin page.
Even I plugged the wired lan cable to my laptop, but still the same. It connects, but no internet.Where should I look? My the other laptop with openSUSE 11.4 connects to the same router without any problem.

when i tried to watch a videos video today, i noticed that i suddenly didn't have sound anymore just yesterday, it still worked fine. changing the video volume didn't do anything, so i looked at the mixer icon in the taskbar - and noticed to my surprise that it was suddenly set to mute, without me ever having touched it!
i set it back to full volume, but still nothing. i then tried to play ordinary videos in nmy video layer, but also there - no sound! so it's not limited to flash videos. the sound test in yast doesn't play any sound, either, it produced just a very short popping sound, that's all. i tried turning off pulse audio there, but that didn't change anything, so i turned it on again (i use pulse audio for sound).
next, i tried the kde control panel, but got no test sound either, just again the very short popping sound on htting the test button and nothing else. i've even tried switching the preference from xine (which i normally use) to gstreamer, but that didn't change anything either. then i did a reboot and tried things again, but no change. finally, i checked my headphones. they were plugged in properly, and plugging them out and back in again didn't do anything either.
so i'm out of ideas what i could still try. sound hardware is realtek hd onboard sound, which is identified as "hda ati sb alc889a analog". kde is 4.4 rc3, which i've been using already since over a week without problems, so i doubt that's the problem.

openSUSE 11.2 with KDE desktop, I have been using vlc to play .flv files without any difficulty or problems for months but it has suddenly stopped giving me any image on screen. The video is "running" according to progress bar and there is sound but just a black screen. Trouble is I cannot pin this down to any particular update so I am asking if anybody else has had this happen? I have run 1 click install multimedia and there were a few files updated but still no picture. I shall have to go through all the multimedia chacks and no time right now.

I've had opensuse 11.2 for a long time and I've never seen this nepomuk thing run before. But all of a sudden on startup just now, I got a message that it was running. Why? What is this and should I be worried? Why have I never seen it before?

Been using openSUSE 11.4 64-bit for a couple of months now, things seem to run very smoothly, and I'm very pleased with it. But sometimes things just seem to stop working as intended although this probably have nothing to do with openSUSE and is most likely a bug in Banshee.Well, the title says all about the problem really, and it's not a big issue since I most certainly can use another program to rip my cds.

when starting my Latitude D830 from suspend to ram it was suddenly missing touchpad and trackpoint support. I restartet and updated but still, both devices aren't even listed in yast anymore. Keyboard and bluetooth mouse work fine, though.
Running synclient TouchpadOff=0 says Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?. Now, i googled a bit and all i could find was some tinkering with the xorg.conf, what is especially ugly, since suse doesn't normally use one anymore. Plus, xorg.conf gives me flashbacks of allnighters trying to fix me system again

All of a sudden, Dolphin is identifying .xls files as "OLE2 compound document storage (application/x-ole-storage)." I searched for xls in Configure desktop, file associations and it still appears as application-vnd.ms-excel. It does not appear as x-ole-storage.
Other spreadsheets (ods, xlsx) are still identified correctly and open automatically in the proper program. This is a new behavior, and I'm assuming it has to do with something I updated in Yast. I'm using KDE 4.6.2 under 11.4.
As a workaround, I added the .xls extension to the file association for x-ole-storage, which allows Dolphin to open the file automatically, but it still asks me to install software to handle the file type. I answer no and then the file opens in Libre Office.
Before adding .xls to the file association, I tried to get this to happen automatically by going through the open with other application menu and checking always use this application. This had no effect.

I have an 1TB hard drive, half of it for Windows XP SP3, another half for OpenSUSE 11.4. After installing OpenSUSE, it didn't take me much time to notice that there was something wrong with KDE: sometimes it loaded quite fast, as expected, but most of the time I'd have to wait around 1 minute in that loading screen. Then I updated the kernel, as well as KDE itself, but that didn't solve the problem.
After that I tried to start the system using Enlightnment, and it was lightning fast compared to KDE, however, I didn't quite like its interface, and for some reason GNOME refused to start. All that was too frustrating to me, so I gave up and have been using Windows for the last few weeks. Got sick of it now and here I am on OpenSUSE again. Oh, it feels sooo much better! BUT, I'm still with the same problem.
My specs are as follow:
Motherboard: Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H (with updated BIOS, version F11)
Processor: AMD Phenom X3 8450
Memory: 2GB
Videocard: Nvidia Geforce 8500GT (using NVIDIA proprietary drivers)
OpenSUSE 11.4
KDE 4.6.0
Did I forget anything important?
Ps.: I didn't have these problems with Mandriva 2010.2, which, if I'm correct, used the same KDE version.

Does anyone know how to revert network speeds to those attained with openSUSE11.2-64? On openSUSE11.2-64 the reported network download speed was,
max : 420 kB/s
ave : ~ 200 kB/s
After upgrade to openSUSE 11.3-64 the figures dropped to about 25% of the previous values. After upgrade to KDE 4.5 and plasmoid-networkmanagement the initial values did not change but the average value dropped after about 30 seconds to ~ 15 kB/s. Approach so far:
1. The motherboard's (A780GM-LE) build in LAN (Realtek RLT8111DL) was originally detected by openSUSE 11.3 as the Realtek RLT8169 and kernel module r8169 installed. This was replaced by the latest module r8168-8.019.00 from Realtek.
2. After kernel update to Linux 2.6.34.4-0.1-desktop x86_64 the plasmoid-networkmanagement was replace by NetworkManager-kde4. This improved flow with,
max : 140 kB/s
ave : ~ 80 kB/s

I use jpilot on opensuse 11.3 64bit to sync pim data with my Palm Treo 680 via bluetooth. This worked fine until today. Now I get the following error message when I try to sync: Syncing on device bt: Press the HotSync button now dlp_ReadSysInfo error Exiting with status YNC_ERROR_PI_CONNECT Finished.
The last successfull sync was on the 20th October and today is the 24th October. I did not change any settings in jpilot or on my palm device. So I guess there must have been an update of opensuse which causes this error. But I do not now how to look up the updates during this period or how to undo them. Was there an update between the 20th and the 24th Oktober, which might affect either jpilot or bluetooth functionality?

I have Lenovo G550 and openSUSE 11.4. Everything's ok, wifi without problems, I could connect to anywhere I wanted to, but yesterday while laptop was running and was connected actually by wire to internet, after removing the wire I realized that I cannot connect to wifi (the laptop was hibernated during night) - even the light diode in the front of the laptop was not shining. I went to yast and realized that the wlan0 isn't enabled and there's new eth1 port. But the wlan by ifup I cannot start and the eth1 I cannot start as well.

I'm installing opensuse 11.2 x64 on my machine.I have win7 installation so I'm making it dual boot.The problem is that the installation is extremely slow. I've started it 20 min ago and it is still at 3% in preparing disks part of the setup.The installation is standard (no shrinking or etc) - I'm installing it on a separate empty partition on my raid volume.

I am running SLED 11 and My Networkcard is Intel PRO/Wireless 5300. In short, it is not there anymore! I mean I was connected and everything and the next time I restarted It could not detect any wireless network. I deleted the wireless network card in hopes that the OS will automatically detect it on startup and set it right but NOPE. When I check the hardware information in YAST, it is listed there and it is also working under Windows.

using opensuse 11.4 on laptop--we went down the shore and I added a bunch of wireless connections and it was working down there, but now we came back and I deleted all of them except my wireless network connection. I'm not sure if anything else was messed with as others were using this laptop.
When I start up the networking icon says Unavailable.....when I click on it greyed out is "Network Management disabled" and "Enable wireless" The Wireless light on the laptop is a solid orange. When it is working it is flashing.
What do I do to troubleshoot this? I am fairly noobish to linux.

First of all, apologies if this is not the correct place to post this. I recently installed openSUSE 11.2 (Gnome, 32bit) on my newish PC. It is an Acer Aspire X3200 (AMD Phenom X4 Quad-Core, 1.8 GHz, 4096 MB, NVIDIA GeForce 8200 Integrated, can provide detailed specifications if needed). I've to say I am very disappointed with the results so far! Sorry to say this but I'm having a whole load of problems that I never had when I had Vista or with current Win 7. Here are the issues:
1. Slow network performance. I've disabled ipv6 but it is still the same. Not only when I use Firefox, it is also slow when I use console based programs. 2. Instability - Gnome system monitor crashed 6 (or more) out of 10 times I use it. System Monitor users more CPU resources than anything else! Also when I started the PC this morning, I only had the desktop wallpaper. No icons, no taskbar, no mouse movements or menus, nothing. I had to force shut down it after a while. I'm sure we all are familiar with this on XP but I've never seen something like that on Linux!
3. Annoying noise coming every time I move mouse (mainly when scrolling) and even if I'm not doing anything. I suspect it is coming from my HDD indicator as it always blink even when nothing is running. This can't be a hardware issue as I've never had this on Vista or Win 7 (it is virtually silent on Vista and XP but not on SuSE) This noise is driving me totally mad.
4. Slow performance in general. No matter what I do, even typing this on this text window, it seems everything is running so slow. I never had this problem when I was running 10.x on my 6 year old PC. CPU is always running around 20%-30%, when I don't run any other applications but just Firefox (I have Foxclocks, Delicious and FEBE as add-ons and I don't have any problem using them on Vista or Win 7). I am using Compiz, not sure if this has got anything to do with that.
