Fedora :: Songs In Amarok Playing Slow?

Jun 13, 2010

I have got Fedora 13 x86_64 with KDE. I installed the Fluendo MP3 Plug-In so I could play songs in Amarok. But the first ~15 seconds of every song are really lagging, the rest of the song sounds fine. I tried to set it to an external MySQL database, but then all my music disappears.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: MPlayer Playing Videos On Slow Computer - Getting Blue Screen

Jan 21, 2011

-Ubuntu 10.04 with MPlayer/Smplayer & VLC installed via the repos. -Installed the Ubuntu Restricted Extras package (everything except flash, extra fonts, & java) & w32codec packgae (medibuntu). -Computer in question is 800mhz Celeron, 256MB RAM & one of those basic Intel Integrated Graphics Chip. I'm having problems playing some video files. When trying to play these files with Smplayer, I get a blue screen but can still hear audio (default video output). After switching the video output to x11(slow), I can now see the picture but it's not playable (some video will show maybe one frame every 2 seconds, some video would play for half-a-second then just freeze). This happens mainly with large files (not 100% accurate, but in general files over 300MB).

Mplayer log gives the "Your system is too slow to play this file" & "Bad alloc:insufficient resources" messages. So I'm guessing this is not a codec problem, but a system resources problem? Is there any option, trick, tweaks, etc. I can use to play these problematic files or is it just not possible because of my system specifications? Is there a way I could tell mplayer to play these files with lower bitrates & resolution? Maybe this could reduce the resources needed to play?

Fedora :: 11 Amarok Not Playing Mp3?

Mar 12, 2010

I am running fedora 11 with kde version 4.4 amarok 2.2.2 and xine 2.6. I have xine-lib-extras-freeworld installed from rpm fusion. Amarok will refuse to play mp3 files, however M4A files work just fine.

I initially thought that the xine-lib-extras-nonfree was required for mp3 playback but it seems that my laptop which is f11 kde 4.3 and amarok 2.2.1 does not have this installed and works just fine.

When attempting to play an mp3 in gxine it throws this error: "No demuxer found - stream format not recognised."

Fedora :: Amarok Not Playing After Yum Update?

Dec 30, 2009

I have a problem with Amarok. I did a yum update today (which completed ok) but now I cannot play music from Amarok. Rather, it appears as if it is playing but no sound is coming out of the speakers. Other players (xmms, mplayer, xine) are all working fine. A quick note is that on starting up, there is a message that "Phonon: KDE's multimedia library The audio playback device PulseAudio sound server does not work. falling back to." A google search shows that I may need to configure amarok to output sound using something like Alsa. Which is fine, I have alsa installed:

Code:
[arthur@platypus ~]$ rpm -qa | grep alsa
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686
alsa-lib-1.0.21-3.fc12.i686
bluez-alsa-4.58-1.fc12.i686
alsa-utils-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686
[arthur@platypus ~]$

but Amarok only displays pulse audio as the only output device! Whats going on please? Am on Fedora 12, Amarok 2.2.1 with xine backend.

Fedora :: Slow Response After F11 Update To KDE 4.3.1

Sep 30, 2009

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:
Dell Precision M60 lap-top
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.70GHz
RAM: 1 GiB (not a lot by today's standards, but this issue does not seem related to swapping)
video: nVidia Quadro FX Go700 (using default installation, nouveau driver)
display: 1920 x 1200
kernel: 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586
KDE: kdebase-4.3.1-2.fc11.i586
nouveau: xorg-x11-drv-nouveau-0.0.12-40.20090528git0c17b87.fc11.i586

Ubuntu :: Very Slow Response - How To Troubleshoot?

Jan 11, 2010

My Kubuntu installation (9.10) boots up normally and seems to run fine, other than it is very slow to respond to inputs or change screens/ applications etc. It can take 5-10 seconds to respond to simple requests like changing from firefox to dolphin by clicking in the taskbar. It is dual boot with XP, which also seems sluggish, but is bearable.

The computer is barely useable in Kubuntu because of the slow response. I had 9.04 installed before, same problem. I tried searching for drivers for the on board video, thinking that might be it, but came up empty.

Fedora :: Caps Lock Response Is Too Slow?

Mar 26, 2011

I know this doesn't matter to most people because most people hold shift to capitalize letters. I tap the caps lock with my pinky whenever I need something capitalized. I'm a pretty fast typer, I just don't type correctly. How do I get it so that when I'm typing and I hit Caps Lock for it to be an instant effect? For example this is what I'm getting annoyed with, here is an example of what I am having to recorrect everytime I type.

Server :: Sendmail - Port 25 Response Very Slow

Jul 20, 2010

I have installed Centos 5.4 with Sendmail 8.13.8, i have modified sendmail.mc file and compiled to sendmail.cf with following lines

1. TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')
2. Define define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
3. DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl

My problem is that when i try to open port 25 with telenet it takes lot of time like more than 1 minute to open session and another 30 - 40 seconds to respond to "ehlo" command.

Also when i try to open telnet session on port 25 in another server it hardly takes 1-2 seconds open session.

Debian Multimedia :: Slow Typing Response In Gedit

Sep 2, 2014

I am having some issues with the typing speed in gedit. When typing the response is usually really slow,It can be up to a second or so between rendering keystrokes. I don't believe it has anything to do with resources. I have checked the processes running when it happens and everything looks pretty normal cpu usuage is also very low at the time. The system is very responsive with everything else at the time.

I only have this problem with gedit, gvim, vim, nano etc are fine. Maybe an issue with a GTK lib of some sort? The problem happens with very small files like little bash scripts. I have including some info about the system ...

Debian Hardware :: Slow Response To Dim / Brighten Button

Dec 23, 2014

I am running Wheezy on a Lenovo ThinkPad W530. When using the hotkeys to control screen brightness (Fn+F8/9) there is a 10-30 sec delay before the screen changes.

From Brightness Settings it changes instantaneously. It seems to be the same issue as this. I tried the fix in comment #5.

I added "acpi_backlight=vendor" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub then ran update-grub. After restarting I could not control the screen brightness at all.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Dual Monitor Slow Response?

Jul 22, 2010

I have opensuse 11.3 (64 bit) with nvidia 8400GS (256 MB ram). The system is a core 2 T7500 with 4GB Ram. I have installed nvidia drives (through nvidia's .run file, versison 256.35)

1) When i connect an external monitor (1440x900) and use separate x-screen+ xinerama (laptop has 1280x800), desktop response is really slow. Moving windows,switch tabs etc make desktop (kde) barely useful. Especially if i open a large txt file it is almost impossible to scroll through this file.

xorg file (see attached file) is been created by nvidia-settings.

One minor solution I found is to use 16 bit (instead of 24bit) color. This makes everything better, but still not fast enough. I do not use desktop effects.

An important note: This happens only after some period of time. After reboot everything seems to be ok for some time, but suddenly something changes and I have slow response.

I do not have the same problem under windows.

2) How can i specify that laptop's screen be the default, so it can have the taskbar?

3) When i disconnect the external monitor and restart x, then the laptop screen goes to 1024x768 and not to 1280x800. I have to create another xorg.conf and restart x. How can I make just one xorg file, and the system automatically adjust resolutions regarding if i have one or dual monitors?

Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 256.35 (buildmeister@builder97.nvidia.com) Wed Jun 16 19:14:45 PDT 2010

Ubuntu Networking :: Slow Response For HTTP Proxy Over SSH?

Dec 3, 2010

I'm a little stumped on this one so I reaching out to see if anyone here has any idea. I just changed my ISP to Surewest as they're doing fiber straight to the house in my area so I have 8Mbps up and down.

I have my linux box running openssh and I have no problems SSHing into it from my remote laptop at work. I use putty to connect to it and create a tunnel so I can configure my firefox to use it as a SOCKS proxy. The problem is my response time for page loads in firefox is atrocious now. It'll take over a minute to load yahoo.com. The only real differences in my setup now are my ISP and router hardware at home. Previously, I was using the firewall that was built into my AT&T Uverse gateway. Now, I'm using my old Linksys WRT54G v5.0 router with the latest firmware. My linux box is wired directly into it with ethernet. When I run the speed tests from that box I get my correct speeds of 8Mbps up and down with <15ms ping. From what I can tell, all of my router settings are correct.

Fedora :: Computer Display Suddenly Goes Black With No Response

Apr 9, 2011

This started happening about 1 hour ago. My computer display just went black, and the power light never changed state. I turned off it's power, and then back on (after a few seconds), and the power light came on "blue", which is what it's supposed to be, but i got nothing on the display, and hitting the menu buttons did not show a menu for the display, or any kind of response. i rebooted a couple of times, to no avail.

I thought my new display just crapped out, so i took it to another computer (windows xp laptop) and plugged in the vga cable (my server uses DVI), and it was fine. I took it to another computer (windows 7) with a DVI cable, and it was fine. I brought it back to my desktop/server, and plugged it back in, and it was fine again. Menu buttons and all.

Then, a few minutes later, it went out again. I turned the power for it off for a few minutes, then back on, and it came on with weird scanlines of various colors... then went back to black.

I played with unplugging the dvi cable in the back of the monitor/display, and wiggling it, and then at the computer connection, and at some point it came back on, for no obvious reason (i think i already stopped playing with it).

xorg.log was uneventful, but i can post it, if need be.

Dmesg shows this (the very last line of the NEXT post was the only one of any interest; but googling it returned no scenarious involving display crashes):

Code:
[ 15.615437] dracut: Switching root
[ 17.529852] udev[521]: starting version 161
