OpenSUSE :: Very Slow Responses When Running Pandora
Oct 19, 2010
I have a pretty quick machine, quad core 2.66GHz duo processor, nice ASUS motherboard, high speed memory bus and so on. Basically, this is not a machine that's getting "maxed out" by playing some music.Load averages for the 4 processors according to htop are 1.48, 1.25, 0.85. Looking at the System Monitor CPU history I am seeing an average of perhaps 25% load.
However, when I am in a shell, I am getting a second or longer waits between key presses at times.My only guess as to why is that may be is that the streaming audio is on some very high priority so everything else gets put on the back burner. In any case, does anyone have any experience with this and a possible tweak that would give everything else a "fair go" so things didn't seem so unresponsive?
Several days ago responses to many, but not all, of my internet requests slowed from long to never.I'm on Verizon FIOS; running Firefox on a Debian Lenny system with 6GB or RAM and 500GB HD with 32GB cache.
internettrafficreport.com shows index of 84 for North America. I've pinged a few sites -- see returns from 16ms to 91ms.I've also rebooted my Verizon DSL router.
I have a home network consisting of 1 Linux box running Fedora 13, a laptop running Windows XP, and an HP Officejet Pro L7780. With the Fedora 13 box I have Firefox 3.6.4. I have noticed in the last couple of days a very sluggish response seemingly one site, amazon.com. I'll connect to the site but Firefox remains loading the page and parts of it will be missing. If I search for a particular item it takes forever to display parts of the newly requested page. I have hit stop and then refresh and sometimes the page will then come up although it's never 100%. Eventually I'll loose my router (which by the way is a Linksys BEFSR8.1 v3.01), in that if I ping it I'll get the error that it is unreachable. The laptop also looses access to the router. I'll then reset it (unplug/plug) and it'll come back up ok until I go back to Amazon and start searching again.
My question(s) are: Can a router go bad and just show up bad with one site initially? In other words is the router slowly dying?Can a problem with a site affect the router this way?I have also changed my namserver settings in /etc/resolv.config and on the router with no real change in symptoms. It's always Amazon and I don't seem to have issues with any other sites that I visit. Any clues?
We have an environment where couple of webservers are being active behind the loadbalancer, the webpage is getting loaded extremely slow if we restart the apache on those boxes its responding very fine. So currently we are restarting the apache service daily basis, i have attached the config with this thread could anyone suggest how to fine tune apache so it works fine without restarting it daily?
Just installed squeeze and noticing slow responses to ping. Ping with -n is fine, and as expected. Ping without -n is very slow to appear on the screen.

I've tried disabling ip6, disabling avahi and adding options single-request to my /etc/resolv.conf - problem remains. If it helps when installing Squeeze was prompted to install firmware-realtek, which I didn't have. So downloaded onto usb from another machine installed once setup was complete.
I am trying to enable local storage with adobe flash on fedora 13. I go to the global settings web page, but it will not let me check the box to enable local storage.I am trying to get this to work with Pandora Radio.I also installed Adobe Air, but it will not let me install the pandora one desktop.
I was messing around couple linux distros and a desktop earlier today. When I booted from the Ubuntu disk, it seemed to take like 2-5 minutes on each screen. So was basically taking like 10 minutes before I even got to the disk's menu. When i booted the machine off of openSUSE 11.2 disk it booted nice and fast, then installed without a hitch.When i put the Ubuntu disk into my laptop it booted fast and fine there.I'm just curious if anyone has any ideas why that desktop would seem to disagree with a bootable Ubuntu disk like that. Those things are obviously designed to work with near anything. It's a standard IDE CD-ROM, 7600GT, IDE hard drive, all pretty standard stuff.
I'm really new to opensuse, and linux in general. I started using 11.2 in may and I'm still having trouble. I started it on a newly refurbished HP Pavillion. It's always seemed to run slow, freezes up when I plug in my external hard drive, won't play music on amarok or it will lag, things like that. When I run it in windows everything works fine. and it has always ran really hot and loud when in opensuse.
To make things worse, lately if I open mozilla, all the programs/windows I have open will disappear, all my tabs will disappear, all the icons on my desktop disappear and my application launcher, clock, etc, all disappear. when i manually shut it down and restart it works fine for a while. I keep trying to find things online but I've got to the point where I'm afraid to mess it up more.
Ive just installed ubuntu 9.10 64bit os from 32bit on 32bit i had no problems with it running quite fast.Since 64bit has gone on everything i do is running slower update manager took 2 hours to download 202 updates in 32bit that would have taken less than 2 minutes i net is Virgin media 54 Mbs so i can count that out always super fast on 32bit.There is also a lag when opening files and folders and loading programs even in software centre surely it should be quicker than this . Everything works skype ..... ( vids work but cant pause or adjust vol on player).
I just installed Ubuntu 9.10, replacing Windows 7.
its running a little slower than I hoped it would, loading movies takes a while, and when i switch to full screen, it takes about 5 seconds to catch up.
im suspicious that my video card driver might not be configured correctly. can anyone tell me what I might need to configure to get things running smoother?
other things on the computer are also running slow, like opening Firefox, it takes a while for the window to appear.
I'm running 9.1 Karmic Koala UNR and recently (over the last week or two) the system has been running somewhat slowly. The boot is still lightning fast, but opening up programs takes a second or two, it can sometimes take a second or two for menu's to respond to mouse overs.
I've noticed the problems in applications as well. Streaming media over firefox (and I have a 40GB landline, I don't do lag) appears jerky as if skipping a frame or two while sound carries on almost as normal.
Netbeans (I have crash issues at the moment) also runs slowly, alt-tab takes a few seconds longer than every other program.
General Windows are just slow to load (one to three seconds) and menu's take a while to appear (2-3 seconds on mouseover or click)
Usually Ubuntu is lightning fast, I by no means have top of the range laptop...sacrifices have to be made... it's a simple Acer notebook.
Now that I'm on Ubuntu, I love the look of it. Navigating the OS menus is fast and programs are generally fast once they're running, but they're extremely slow when first opened (basic programs like Firefox, OpenOffice Writer, etc.). Is this because I'm running Ubuntu off of a USB stick? I don't know if I'd make the full switch if programs typically open this slow, but otherwise I love Ubuntu.
I currently have 10.04 desktop version installed on my desktop. However my firefox seems to be running extremely slow. Can anyone guide me on the way of checking the system. Mostly is there a command that I can run that will kill all my unwanted processes. I do not do a whole lot on this desktop besides ssh and telnet to other devices and use firefox.
I have a slow computer. When I click on an icon say Firefox it can take 10 seconds to load. when I minimize and maximize windows you can see it happening. I get "ghost" screens where you see the window outline of the box but nothing in it or it may be white. The laptop is two years old and has these specs:
Intel core two duo 2.8GHZ CPU 4GB RAM 500GB HDD 512MB Nvidia 8600GT video Realtek HD audio
What is going on and where should I start looking for issues? Ubuntu 10.10 was upgraded from 10.04LTS following the instructions from the Ubuntu Wiki and it was done through the update manager GUI, not the CLI.
I installed 10.04 on a Dell Vostro Laptop, under Windows. After 15-30 min, the system begins to slow down and then grind to an almost halt. The resource manager tells me that I am using approx. 30% of my CPU and about 25% of my memory. The slow down occurs if I open min. (1-2) apps or more. Also, I can not track it to occurring after I use a specific app. The only non-standard item I installed was a Broadcom wireless driver.
My Toshiba Satellite Pro SP2100 with Ubuntu 8.04 all of a sudden is running very very slow taking ages to boot and is unstable. Some functions will not work at all and when typing the letters appear some time after they are typed. Nothing was downloaded or anything different it was being used just as it has been for more than two years. It has 512 ram. I tried the Mem test and after running for more than 12 hours showed no problems. I did a re-install no better, I tried to load Nimble X but it would not load and it has in the past, tried a Intrepid and it took hours to load but no good.
I'm running testing and over the last week or two my system is getting slow. Any disk access slows everything to a crawl. Even the cli can take several seconds to display characters as I type them.
I'm running 12 (x64) on my dell inspiron 1525. It's been fine for 6months. Just updated it and now it is running incredible slow, I can't really use it, typing is delayed, opening prgrammes delayed, scrolling etc. The updates were just those that were flagged up on my desktop so I have no idea which particular update has caused this.

my computer ran on windows now is duel boot runs fine with vista internet wise (wireless) but ubuntu is very slow just like a lo of people are saying but just now i thought i will hook it up wired to modem and it is not any faster at all very confused and dont know where to go or what to do
my ubuntu laptop is running very slowly, it was running fine until I rebooted it then it has stayed really slow. It takes 7minutes to boot and crashes alot, most of the time it takes a good 3 mins to open anything,
I have WindowsXP installed under VirtualBox. Most of the time this works fine, but sometimes when I boot it up, it runs so incredibly slowly that it is unusable. My only solution to this has been to copy out the important data, restore the vdi file from backup and reboot. This usually solves the problem until next time. "top" shows that vbox is taking 35% of the memory (which is the amount I have allocated) and about 102% of my dual core's CPU. Everything else is running OK at the time.
Since my upgrade to 11.04, ubuntu has been running real slow. When I click on the firefox icon on the side bar, it literally takes over 3 seconds to start opening up. And the same thing goes for folders. Is there something I need to tweak to fix this? And my computer is pretty fast on its own, vista runs very fast on it if that says something.
I'm having some trouble with Java based games. I am running 11.04 64x and I downloaded and installed the latest sun-jvm. I know my hardware can run these two games very well (Minecraft and Spiral Knights). I'm wondering if maybe sun isn't my default plugin.
I have a remote machine on which my server application runs. The remote server is linux based. What and all steps I would required do to IDENTIFY and SOLVE for following two problems
What must be the best configuration of computer for linux? I have 2.67ghz, 1gbram, 160hdd and running linux-ultimate-edition but computer is run very slow.
