Ubuntu :: Slow Unresponsive Terminal ?
Apr 4, 2010For some strange reason my gnome-terminal has become really slow and unresponsive.If I type anything on the terminal I have to wait a few seconds before anything appears on the terminal.Memory or cpu is not the problem. Currently I am using only about 20% of my CPU:s and 15% of my RAM..Booting didn't help.Lucky this doesnt happen in openoffice, firefox or gedit. (which I need most)and I am running 9.10, which has last been updated about a week ago.

Mar 18, 2010Has anyone had any issues when they freshly install Windows XP in VirtualBox?
I just created a system in vBox with an AMD x4 925 2.8Ghz Quadcore Processor (with AMD Virtualization on). I gave the system 3 cores, 3GB of RAM, 128mb video memory, turned off all acceleration and gave it a 60GB virtual drive.
Following installation I have noticed the vbox is unusable. I click on the start menu for example and it takes 3-4 seconds to show up. Furthermore, just moving the mouse shows a frame rate at, what I would guess, around 5 frames/sec.
This is strange as I have given this machine very good specs.
General :: Ubuntu - Kubuntu - Screen Suddenly Went Black
Jul 13, 2010I just installed Ubuntu on my home desktop computer this morning, and I am having fun exploring this new alternative to Microsoft. I originally tried to install Kubuntu, but after multiple unsuccessful attempts I gave Ubuntu a try and it worked like a charm.
Here's what I did: First, I burned the installation CD. Then I booted from that CD and began the installation process. When the Kubuntu desktop came up, and the icons started to appear, the screen suddenly went black. After that it flashed back and forth between the partially loaded desktop and the black screen.
That's as far as I got.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Shut Down Became Slow Suddenly
Aug 24, 2010Shut 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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: PHP Suddenly Very Slow / What To Do?
Jan 28, 2011All 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.
Networking :: Wireless Drivers/functionality Suddenly Disappeared - Kubuntu 9.1 HP TX1000 Laptop
Apr 18, 2010I switched my girlfriend laptop from windows 7 to Kubuntu 9.4, then upgraded to karmic koala. I was able to, through the hardware manager, install a software modem driver, and a firmware unwrapper driver for her broadcom 4.X series wireless adapter. Whenever I attempted to install the broadcom 4.1, 4.2. ect driver itself a package update would fail, but wireless functionality still worked nonetheless. My girlfriend has a TX1000 HP laptop, similar to this one:[URL]..Product number in the bios is GA648UA#ABA System Board ID is 30BF
The wireless drivers she needs are proprietary. This worked for a while, although seemingly at random her wireless would go out, and her analog sound driver for her Nvidia chipsets would too. Usually logging out of the KDE environment and back in fixed the issue. Now wireless is completely gone; using a hard ethernet core to the router still works. Even connected to the internet, the proprietary drivers that used to be available in the hardware manager aren't there anymore. Right before the driver disappeared, I updated the system with all the latest round of updates, and installed the base package and some plugins for VLC. I don't know how to role back packages to see if an update killed the wireless, I uninstalled the VLC software but that didn't help.
Wireless is checked enabled on my taskbar, and I have checked my bios and haven't found any setting to disable the wireless adapter. Anything networking related has been enabled. At this point I am rather frustrated with the stability of Kubuntu overall and would prefer a hard solution that will permanently fix the problem.
OpenSUSE :: USB HDD Suddenly Run Slow / Why Is So?
Jul 12, 2010I 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.
Ubuntu :: Start-up Suddenly Extremely Slow / Solve This?
Feb 10, 2010I 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?
Ubuntu :: Virtual Box Suddenly Running Slow / Is This Normal?
Sep 24, 2010I 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?

View 7 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Networking :: Ethernet Connection Suddenly Slow - Dns Problem / Troubleshoot This?
Apr 1, 2011A 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?
Fedora :: Unrar Suddenly Slow / Make It High?
Dec 11, 2009I'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.

Ubuntu :: Kubuntu Maverick Slow Boot?
May 26, 2011I swapped out the hard drive on my laptop for a bigger one and put Kubuntu 10.10 on it back in March. The one big complaint I have is that it has a ridiculously slow boot time in comparison to Ubuntu 10.04. I have since installed most of the Gnome Ubuntu desktop through the repos and switched from kdm to gdm but I still have this relatively long period of blank screen with cursor until it goes straight to the gdm. The plymouth boot screen won't show at all. Is there a relatively simple fix for this?
I should add that I am not interested in updating to Natty. I have a limited bandwith I can use and a lot of accumulated software through the repos that would require several gigabytes of reinstall.
Ubuntu :: Slow Burning Speeds (<1x) In Kubuntu
Nov 4, 2010I when I burn a dvdrw with K3B, it remains at 1x speed even tough I chose the maximum speed in the dialog(don't know whether this is also the case with dvd-r or cdr since i don't have any with me at the moment). So, I guess there is something wrong. I read that it could have something to do with DMA, Or could it be something else?

Feb 24, 2010My friends computer is extremely slow with all versions of kubuntu. Its very slow to boot, very slow to load applicatons, very slow to switch between windows, very slow to do anything. I can't think of what would be causing the slowness, its not new, doesn't have any fancy hardware AFAIK, but it runs XP perfectly well, its probably a 2.0+ghz pentium 4 processor. Do you think it could be a kernel chipset issue? Or perhaps a graphics driver/window manager issue? I don't know what the hardware is, is there a command I can run to list all the hardware?

Ubuntu :: Point To Kubuntu CD Instead Of Kubuntu Repository?
Mar 7, 2011I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.
I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?
Ubuntu :: Unity Is 100% Unresponsive?
Jan 29, 2011I installed the Unity Desktop Env. to play around with it on my wubi installation of Ubuntu 10.10. I have the log in screen disabled as well as the grub menu so it launches right into Ubuntu. I logged out and logged back in under Unity and could move the mouse but nothing would happen. I have gnome-panels disabled as well so alt f2 wont work even in my gnome DE. By disabling the log in screen and the grub menu have I painted myself into a corner so to speak and made this installation completely unrecoverable?

Mar 25, 2010I have installed and run Ubuntu on my iMac, now I would like to try Kubuntu but the installer hangs every time inbetween step 1 setting language and step 2 choosing time zone. Sometimes it's while the system clock is being set, sometimes after. It's just the installer that is locked up, I can still move the cursor but because the installer is fullscreen I cannot get out of it, at least not that I know of.
I have made two different desktop CDs from two different ISOs and both gave the same exact behaviour. I think I prefer Kubuntu to Ubuntu but I haven't really been able to give it a try.
Ubuntu :: Karmic Koala 9.10 Unresponsive UI?
Apr 21, 2010On Dell Inspiron 9200, with or without accelerator for NVIDEA graphics. P.S. I would like to give 9.10 a chance. have gedit and browser open (browser with the forum message being edited), then do the following:
1.This example demonstrates one problem (unresponsive single click) Use the System-->Preferences-->Mouse
Click repeatedly on the light bulb at 1 second interval ---> result: often the light does not turn on. Result: it appears that the click event does not complete. I have noticed that a mouse-out will cause the click to complete (specifically as in 2. and 3 after a brief moment (hopefully before the drag and drop icon appears).
2. Click on any icon, submit button, close, etc. takes many tries.
3. Click on any icon, panel button, link, etc. if you linger a moment a floating icon (a drag and drop hand).
4. Scrollbar button and action follow the mouse outside of the scrollbar. The scrollbar sticks - difficult to make scrollbar stop following the mouse.
5. Example, have two visible windows (for example gedit and the browser) From gedit move to browser by click on browser. ---> result takes forever to recognise the focus and click and go to the broser.
6. Unresponsive UI. In browser highlight text in textarea (with difficulty) then chose Copy (slow UI), from this window click on desktop's Applications (takes many clicks to open), from Accessories click on gedit (slow or takes more than one try), paste (speed of paste OK).

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Unresponsive, Can't Reinstall?
Jun 16, 2010I upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04, and most things appear to be fine. However, after a day or two of inactivity (apart from remotely logging in for SSH), the computer goes into a state where the screen is blank and it is unresponsive (and no longer allows access by SSH, FTP, or SVN server access). I have to reboot the computer to use it again, which I can't always do when I'm traveling. I inquired about this previously -but I'm convinced the solution may be more complicated than suggested because I don't have compiz turned on and the computer's power management is already set so that it's never supposed to sleep. I tried to install 10.04 fresh from a Live CD, but it freezes where it asks me how I want to use my partitions so I can't even reinstall

Ubuntu :: Unresponsive System Due To Beam.smp?
Sep 29, 2010From time to time my system will practically lock up. During these times there is near constant hard disk access, and applications will quit responding for 10-30 seconds at a time.Looking in the processes of System monitor it appears that beam.smp is the culprit, during these times it is using 80-95% cpu and between 2 and 3.5GB or RAM (I have 4GB total).It appears to be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ng/+bug/458453I am using Ubuntu 10.04, 64-bit. I am also relatively current on my updates (I think the last updates I did were about three days ago).Judging from the comments, though it looks as if it was fixed back in May.I don't know if it matters, but the only thing I use evolution for it its integration to gnome-pilot to sync my old Palm m130.

Nov 7, 2010Almost every day, for around 15-20 seconds, my computer becomes unresponsive, while the hard disk makes a strange periodic sound (period ~2 seconds, half of it the sound suggests very intense disk activity, the other half - normal disk activity), and the hard disk LED stays on (not flashing, just on). I ran manually all scripts in the /etc/cron.* folders. Only the mlocate script seemed to cause higher than normal disk activity (but still low enough to not cause problems). I still disabled it, but the problem persists.

Dec 16, 2010Two fresh installs of maverick meerkat on my laptop. Both times, problems started immediately. Playing media files, web browsing with a few tabs, or running bittorrnet freezes my humble system.
At some point or another during a lockup, the active programs running use up all of my CPU and a sizable chunk of RAM. Then after a few minutes, it stops and goes back to running normally for a bit. There seems to be no common element that sparks this behavior. Anything I do causes my computer to freeze for 2 minutes. It seems to be a common issue as well, and I've been unable to resolve this substantial problem. Is there some bugfix I am missing?
