Ubuntu :: 10.10 (32bit) - Transmission Hogging Bandwidth?
Apr 4, 2011
I am running a fairly standard 32bit 10.10 install, although I deleted Firefox and installed Chrome. I am using Transmission for my torrent downloads. After a lot of reading and trying different things, I have managed to get the port to open. When Transmission is running, even if only uploading and downloading a few k each way, I have great difficulty in getting Chrome to load a web page, it is as if Transmission is hogging all the available bandwidth? Obviously if I shut down Transmission the problem goes away. It also occurred with Firefox before I deleted it.

I can only access the Transmission web interface while the Transmission-gtk client is running. When I close it, the web interface is no longer available. I try to manually start the transmission-daemon, but the process never shows up as running.

I created a the class like this for shaping the packets with a specified bandwidth rate.....
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 15
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 750kbit ceil 750kbit
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:3 htb rate 600kbit ceil 750kbit prio 0
For Our Requirement:-
I dont want to specify the bandwidth rate strictly like this rate750kbit ceil 750kbit,based on whatever speed is coming which should allocate the bandwidth rate for particular class...I need one application for finding the upcoming bandwidth & Is any other method is there for specify the bandwidth rate in a classes.

I installed ubuntu 10.10 a few days ago which ran very well on the live CD but after I upgraded to 11.04 Ubuntu uses just under 100% of my cpu after a few mins loged in and my ram usage increases by about 5MB per sec starting the second I log in. I am using Classic Gnome and it seems to do this wether I have metacity or compiz turned on. Does anyone know what is going on or know about a way to lower ether my cpu or ram usage

Does anyone else have an issue with Firefox memory hogging? If you open many tabs, it just seems to use up most of the memory and despite closing a tab it will not release it.You have to restart the browser every so often.

During random moments, pidgin will suddenly use up all of my processor, a large chunk of my ram (20% - 25% of 2 GB), and will become completely unresponsive. This lasts for maybe four or five minutes then returns to normal.Pidgin doesn't have any kind of terminal output when ran in a terminal, so I have no data to use that is of any help.

Recently I have noticed that the process kacpi_notify is using constantly using 10-14% of my total CPU time, I am running an i7 @ 2.66Ghz. This causes the CPU temp to rise, and eventually the fan will kick in to cool it down, at which point kacpi_notify will stop using CPU time. Then about a minute later it will kick in again and use CPU time up constantly until the fan kicks in because of it. It sounds like something is triggering the process and then it is stuck in an endless loop. I just don't know where I can modify this so it doesn't start up all the time.Some tech stuff:
Kernel: 2.6.34.7
OS: Opensuse 11.3
GUI: KDE 4.4.4

I did my homework and found those similar questions, but they seem to cover particular firefox addons. My scenario is different: I don't run a ton of addons, but still periodically CPU usage skyrockets to 100% (I have an old single core CPU). I wonder if it is possible to see which tab is the offending one. Generally I don't run a gazillion of tabs, I try to stick to the 7+/-2 common sense rule, but closing tabs one by one and watching the CPU usage is still not very convenient.

All of a sudden, my computer feels sluggish. Mouse moves but windows take ages to open, etc. uptime says the load is 7.69 and raising. What is the fastest way to find out which process(es) are the cause of the load? Now, "top" and similar tools isn't the answer because they either show CPU or memory usage but not both at the same time. What I need is the single command which I might be able to type as it happens - something that will figure out any of: "System is trying to swap 8GB of RAM to disk because process X ..." or "process X seeks all over the disk" or "process X uses 400% CPU"
So what I'm looking for is iostat, htop/atop and similar tools run into one with an output like this:
1235 cp - Disk trashing
87 chrome - Uses 2GB of RAM
137 nfs_bench - Uses 95% of the network bandwidth
I don't want a tool that gives me some numbers which I can analyze but a tool that tells me exactly which process causes the current load. Assume that the user in front of the keyboard barely knows how to write "process" but is quickly overwhelmed when it comes to "resident size", "virtual memory" or "process life cycle".
My argument goes like this: User notices problem. There can be thousands of reasons ... well, almost. User wants to know source of problem. The current solutions give me lots of numbers and I need to know what these numbers mean. What I'm looking for is a meta tool. 99% of the data is irrelevant to the problem. So what the tool should do is look for processes which hog some resource and list only those along with "this process needs a lot of CPU, this produces many IRQs, this process allocates a lot of RAM (and it's still growing)".
This will be a relatively short list. It will be much more simple for an newbie to locate the culprit from this list than from the output of, say, htop which gives me about 5000 numbers but requires me to fold multi-threaded processes myself (I have 50 lines which say VIRT 2750M but only 16GB of RAM - the machine ought to swap itself to death but of course, this is a misinterpretation of the data that can happen quickly).

I just bought an SSL cert and installed on my Apache server. When I restarted something went wrong so I had to change some config stuff and when I tried to restart apache for the second time I got this:
$ sudo apache2ctl start
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
Problem is that apache isn't running. For some reason there is something hogging my tcp 80 port, preventing apache from starting properly. How do I fix this? Is there a way to "free" a port?

I am running Fedora 9 and KDE 4.2.1. I want to set up some traffic shaping on my machine to prevent my torrent client from hogging my entire bandwidth. I.e., I want KTorrent to download and upload to the best of its ability, but still be able to browse the net freely in spite of the torrents. I have done some reading about traffic shaping in Linux. There is lots of material about it, but most of it (such as the lartc.org "howto") is very complex and comprehensive and looks extremely intimidating. Furthermore, most of it addresses situations where you want to distribute traffic between multiple computers in a network. I just want to manage processes on a single machine. I am hoping for a piece of software that lets me assign each a "priority" to each application, or something like that. Like cFosSpeed for Windows.

We have a sipmle office network set up that we also use use to connect to the internet, however of late the number of users has increased thus slowing internet access. Bandwidth upgrade is not an option thus i have to do bandwidth shaping on our linux router. The question is how do set the squid configs to allow certain IP's range a certain percentage bandwidtheg 60% and furthe divide the rest. Alternatively how can allow certain IPs to have higher bandwidth access.

I just installed jessie on a machine that had been running wheezy with no problems. Now I see that a kworker process is hogging nearly 100% of one of the CPUs. I am not sure how to proceed with solving the problem even after doing a number of Google searches.
I'm not sure if this is related, but I am getting the following when I run 'dmesg':

I want to start off by saying I'm very new to Ubuntu. I have been using Ubuntu for about a week now and have not looked back!! Now on to my issue. I have been tying to update Transmission 1.75(9117) to the lasted version (transmission-1.92) but i can't seem to get the Synaptic Package Manager to find it. I have downloaded transmission-1.92 and extracted it on to the desktop but Synaptic Package Manager still can't find it.

I can't seem to get transmission to boot up at start up. I read that I just needed to put "transmission -m" as the command in the start up window, but that doesn't seem to be working and I have no idea where the actual file resides to point to it

One of the updates (Karmic) this morning listed the following:
Update
transmission-common
lightweight BitTorrent client (common files)
Description
Transmission is a simple BitTorrent client. It features a very simple, intuitive interface (gui and command-line) on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end. This package contains the common files for the different transmission versions.
Changes
Changes for the versions:
1.75-0ubuntu2
1.75-0ubuntu2.2
Version 1.75-0ubuntu2.2:
* SECURITY UPDATE: fix arbitrary file overwrite via crafted torrent file
- debian/patches/CVE-2010-0012.patch: adjust metainfo.c to check for '../'
- CVE-2010-0012
So, I employed the update. Problem is, I do not see this as an installed application. TRANSMISSION is not listed in any submenu under the Applications menu OR Add/Remove.

When I try to open Transmission I get a message: "Couldn't open "/home/shai/.config/transmission/lock": Permission denied", and the only way to open it is by using gksudo.
I read on another thread that I need to delete that file, but the file doesn't exist.
What should I do?

I recently started using Transmission torrent client. I love it! The light weight and web interface feature is compelling. I am not able to figure out how to queue torrents.

I've installed many different versions on Ubuntu, many different times and I've never had a problem with transmission... untill now. I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 ( I was already previously using 10.04) and I updated and set up transmission but when I tested the port it said it was closed. This has never happened before.
I tried changing the port about 15 times but it says they are all closed. So I tried opening one..
Code:
sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 50970 -j ACCEPT
... but still nothing. I have no firewall running and everything else works fine. Transmission was working before, on the same ports, same version of transmission, and same version of Ubuntu. Nothing has changed.

UPDATE: Actually it's version 2.04 not 2.0, guess the site i followed was a little dated.
so i was a little hasty in upgrading Tranmission to version 2.0 and after a while i noticed that the new version is really slow especially for public torrents my question is; is it possible to downgrade to version 1.93?
i followed these command to install the new version.
Code:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade

I am using ubuntu netbook edition 10.04 on acer aspire one. My wireless is working perfectly when I am surfing the net or downloading ..... videos however when I use transmission (bit torrent) it will download for awhile then my wireless will not work and yet it shows that it is connected...then I have to reconnect again then the torrent starts downloading for awhile usually 1-2 mins then the wireless will fail again.
An interesting point to note: When I connect the ethernet cable to my netbook, bit torrent download perfectly it only happens when i'm using wireless. It is annoying how I have to physically connect my netbook to the modem to download bit torrent files.

Ideally I would love to have a script that watches my Home/Dropbox/Attachments folder for any torrent files. When there is a torrent file in the Attachments folder it will launch Transmission if it is not up already.But if not I can do it this way tooBasically what I somewhat have now is I'm trying to use Dropbox to start Transmission when I want it to.I have this script running every 3 minutes in Ubuntu Tweak to watch for any scripts I want to run from my Dropbox/remote/commands folder. Whenever a script gets placed in the commands folder it runs it. Which is this
Code:
#!/bin/bash
REMOTEFOLD="${HOME}/Dropbox/remote"

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }a:link { } Is it possible to use Transmission BitTorrent like limewire?
If so how? I am not familiar with terms like associated 'torrent file and 'tracker' websites'' The help files at the Transmission website assume a high level of preexisting knowledge. Is there a way to learn this program starting from scratch?
