Ubuntu :: Maverick Hangs For 5 Minutes With Hdd Activity?
Dec 25, 2010
I have 10:10 x64 installed on a 1.5 TB drive connected to an Asus motherboard with with 4GB of DDR rRAM and on-board ATi HD4200 compliant graphics. Everything I have installed runs except that the system as a whole freezes from time to time for periods of around five minutes while the disk drive lamp shows that it is active. Until I find a solution I will be using my backup system.
I have tried recompiling kernels but they never generate an initrd image file and thus will not boot!

It's been a while since this problem started. I have an Acer Aspire 4720z laptop with Ubuntu 10.10 installed. My laptop takes a whole damn 1.5 minutes to boot up and login (measured according to bootchart; I have auto-login enabled) (The majority of this 1.5 minutes is taken up after boot up, so it might indicate a problem with Xorg.)I don't know whether this is relevant, but when I boot up, a message gets displayed: "ata4.01: failed to resume link (SControl 0)". Also, this problem started right around the time I upgraded from Lucid to Maverick, so it could be some problem with my upgrade.find the source of this issue.ATTACHED: bootchart image from last login.boot.log:
Code:
fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
udevd[370]: can not read '/etc/udev/rules.d/z80_user.rules'

I have a small Slackware gatway/web server/mail server. Few days ago I upgraded it to 13.1 and from this morning I have the following problem:
After restart the server works for 15 minutes (htop showed max uptime of 15 minutes 15seconds) and than it hangs (or at least the ssh/web/imap connections are lost)
I have checked all logs but there is no problem!
Neither in syslog, nor in messages. The inittab is set to runstate 3 ...

I use LXDE for about 2 days now, having several issues, but most important, its the only DE that hangs up itself every 10-60 minutes.
All i do is surf the web, watch a movie or listen music (mp3). I have no idea what could it cause, i dont get a error message.
Its acting like, do you know the old hughe black vynil long play discs? when they had a scratch, they were repeating it over and over and over and over and over and over... Well its kinda the same, just that it repeats either the music or the video (just the audio), mouse is frozen, and nothing but power shutdown works anymore.
After the 3 other DE's i was using, i kinda like LXDE the most, but that bug (?) is pretty annoying.

Please help me to resolve th problem stated underneath:My computer(P4, 512MB RAM) running Ubuntu 10.04 hangs unexpectedly after certain period of inactivity (4-5 minutes maybe). I checked power management settings and all power saving options are set to off.The screen says Checking battery state comes for a while... and then black screen with stripes comes. Monitor also goes off for say a sec or two.Then monitor goes 'on' on its own .This process of Black screen with stripes, monitor off and on goes on until I "Reboot"

Peacekeeper is the web browser benchmark from Futuremark Corporation. In contrast to Iceweasel 5.0 on my laptop, my installed Chromium 6.0 does not pass this benchmark (it hangs after about 2-3 minutes). Here is the link to Peacekeeper: [URL]

After Gnome logon it may hangs in any moment (window scroll, app start, opening url)
If sound was playing in that moment it continuously repeats last sample (about 1 second length), but do not respond to mouse move/click or keyboard. If to let it stay in this state nothing change - sound sample still repeats and no response to input. I need to reboot it by reset button. Sometime when I press reset nothing happen then after couple of seconds computer turns off, after 1-2 sec on and then starts booting.
During first 15-20 minutes after booting it may hangs multiple times but after that it works without problems.
Tried do not logon 20 minutes after boot - do not help, it hangs anyway. Only helps logon and do nothing for awhile.
This behavior have started after F12 installation. F13 installation changed nothing, only F11 worked perfectly.

I'm using mencoder to capture audio from a Encore ENLTV-FM3 video capture device. I have recently noticed that, since one week ago, when the machine was forcibly restarted due to a power outage, all recordings are slightly pitched, they play back slower than they should.
I narrowed down the problem to the following command line:
$ time mencoder -really-quiet -tv driver=v4l2:device=/dev/video1:chanlist=us-cable:audiorate=32000:alsa:adevice=hw.1:input=0:amode=1:normid=11 -endpos 00:10:00 -ovc copy -oac pcm -of rawaudio -o test-32000.wav tv://69
real 9m54.886s
user 0m5.536s
sys 0m1.740s
$ ls -l test-32000.wav
-rw-r--r--@ 1 martin martin 76800000 Mar 15 17:20 test-32000.wav
Somehow, mencode managed to gather precisely 10 minutes worth of raw audio in 9m 55s. That's not physically possible, unless the capture device's A/D converters are "overclocked". I can't think of any other explanation besides hardware failure. Can that be? Could it be that something got burnt during the power outage and now the capture device's internal clock went nuts?
Since the machine's restart, I've also noticed dmesg is flooded with entries like this:
CE: hpet increased min_delta_ns to XXX nsec
Which seem to indicate that the computer's high precision event timer is somehow out of sync. Does this have to do with the audio issue? Can it be that the audio converter's sample rate is linked to the HPET? I'm totally lost here. Has anyone bumped into something similar?

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 x64 on a HP Pavilion p6565uk.
My PC is x64 compatible, although ubuntu will not install.
I don't get to any gui, it says ubuntu will continue install in 5 seconds, at 0, nothing happens. The CPU light is flashing, but nothing happens.
After about 10 minutes, it reboots, but when the HP splash screen shows (Before the boot selection screen) it just hangs. I have to do a hard shutdown to boot back up.
I am using wubi for install.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on an Acer Aspire 5530G. On a fresh install, the HDD is silent after logging in and the desktop is immediately ready for use. A few days and updates later, after every login, there's heavy HDD activity that lasts about 20/30 seconds and makes it almost impossible to perform any other task. The entire desktop is visible during said event.
Not a big issue, however it bothers me a little. I've observed this behavior since Ubuntu 9.10. Anyone else experiencing similar problem?

I'm using Lucid on a laptop, (details in sig). Often after I've been running Ubuntu for a while, like a few hours, my HD activity light will come on and not stop, causing my machine to become laggy. (A link might open 3-5 seconds I click on it, typing appears a second after I press the key, a window or dropdown menu might take 5-10 seconds to be drawn.) I currently have Firefox with one tab and a Nautilus window open. Conky says the CPU is running at 10-20%, RAM is almost all used, (I assume Firefox's cache is filling up, since I've been surfing for a while), and swap is around 25% full. I just turned Compiz & Emerald off, but the HD is still spinning away. At this point, I usually log out and in again, or reboot. I though slowing performance with usage, resource-hogging background processes and constant rebooting were Windoze traits! What gives?Apparently, this is caused by Update Manager. Unbeknownst to me, Update Manager was waiting for me to give it the go-ahead, but while it's open, instead of patiently waiting, it renders my computer unusably slow, even though it's not supposed to be doing anything.

that can allow me to set a power off state on my PC after it has not had use for a period of time.The reason I ask is my wife constantly leaves the PC switched on wasting electricity. I want to have it switch off after activity for say 15 mins.If its a script I will need help setting to run in the back ground for both users (me and my wife).

I have Karmic installed on three different computers (work, home and laptop), but on my home desktop there is a strange performance problem. During disk activity it sometimes becomes completely unresponsive. The mouse cursor doesn't even move. It actually seems fine when it first boots up, but it gradually gets worse as I use the computer for a while until it eventually becomes completely unusable. I'm only having trouble on the one system.The drive in the system is SATA, and I already checked to make sure DMA was on. It is a x86_64 kernel.I tried adding noapic to the kernel boot line after some googling, but it seemed to have no effect

I can start/stop it with origami, but I need to know how to run the start/stop commands when the user becomes idle or active.Or, if I can tell if any user logged in with KDM (since I don't want ssh to stop f@h) is active from a script, I can write one that will do all I need.I can edit sudoers if the commands have to be run as the user. There's only one user I'm worried about making happy (it's the one everyone in the family shares)

Whenever I'm copying something big, or installing a large update, or doing something else that takes a lot from the hard drive, my entire system slows down. Now, I realize that this is inevitable due to limited resources, but the heavy hard drive work is usually low-priority, background stuff.
Is it possible to assign hard drive activity a low priority value, similar to renicing processes on the CPU?

I am trying to figure out how to set ALL of my network activity to go through tor. I have set my network proxy configurations to tor and polipo settings (127.0.0.1:8118 for http and 127.0.0.1:9050 for socks) works great in firefox, but if I nmap scan my router, it says that the incoming signal came from my other ip.. yes I have 2 internet connections, no I am not a hacker. so, I am wondering what I am missiing here, it has to be something simple, just a line I need to add to a config file or something.

Whenever I used to start up a window would open asking me for my password. No problem. One day I clicked cancel and it has never come up again, when i start up the ubuntu one logo switches to updating folders for a bit and then it switches to the default but with a little red x on it. I haven't been able to get it to connect. I can place files into the folder on my computer but they don't show in my ubuntu one account folder also. Also I heard, that soon we'd be able to upload folders instead of file by file is this true?

As part of a standard update from Update Mgr, I was proposed an upgrade from kernel 2.6.31.19 (pae) to 2.6.31.20 (again, pae). Installation went smoothly, as a number of similar upgrades before. Machine is a plain dual/boot (win7+karmic), no wubi.
Mandatory reboot after upgrade... grub... then freeze.
Deep freeze: blank screen, no HD activity.
None of the existing kernel flavors (2.6.31-17, 31-19, 31-20) is able to boot, either in pae, general or recovery mode. It's only BIOS sequence, grub, choice... frozen. Blank screen, no message whatsoever. (btw, win7 boot appears not affected)
Attempts so far:
* Following some hints here for similar situations, I checked my disk w/ gparted and found no issues.
* Partition's UUID is nicely set.
* Recovered Grub, as per its tutorial...
I'm attaching here my grub's config, from a script I've seen in multiple questions.
Code:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
Boot Info Summary:
=> Grub 2 is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda and looks on the same drive in partition #5 for /boot/grub.....

I recently switched to 64-bit Karmic after installing extra memory. I have everything working fine, but I am experiencing an annoying lag in keyboard and mouse response whenever any of the CPU cores briefly jumps to 100% usage, which tends to happen every 10 to 15 seconds, usually caused by firefox.
I'll be typing or scrolling, and there is fairly regularly a hesitation of a second or two in which nothing happens on-screen, and then everything catches up again, ie the keyboard buffer empties to screen or the page scrolls a lot.
I've tried changing the Nvidia driver and the disk iosched elevator, which were the only ideas I could find when searching on this issue.
It seems to me that (a) the CPU usage shouldn't be jumping up like that, and (b) even if it does, it shouldn't affect keyboard an mouse activity to such an extent. This only started happening after switching from 32-bit to 64-bit Karmic.

When I try to install Ubuntu or (having installed using Wubi) boot Ubuntu, I get a blank screen and no activity. This problem has been addressed many times but I haven't been able to get any of the proposed solutions (e.g. nomodeset, i8042.nopnp) to work. Is there another Linux or Unix-like OS that is known to work with this hardware?

I would like Windows laptops to use a proxy to connect to the network so I can check network activity and see if any malware is trying to connect and where it is trying to connect to. So on my Ubuntu desktop I would like to install something as simple as possible to be used as a proxy, I've seen squid but does that only handle http requests? Does that handle streaming requests and such as well? This so I can see the source of some media that's being played in flash or pps.tv
