Ubuntu :: Random (10 Minute) Delays In Printing?

Mar 25, 2010

I have recently installed Ubutnu 9.10 on a laptop machine for my girlfriend, and she uses an HP 6300 series all-in-one printer. While things are generally good, the printer randomly delays output for long periods, often as much as ten minutes of delay. The delays might occur at any point during the output, that is, printing will often start, but then hang part way through a page. Sometimes, the delay is sol long (more than ten minutes) that the printer seems to timeout, form feeds the page, and abandons the output. Mostly, however, great patience results in output resuming after the many minutes delay and the page will complete. For multi-page outputs, the delay might occur more than once during the total output, and sometimes you get lucky and the whole thing comes out in a single shot.

my girlfriend is eying up the windows xp install disks and expressing socially unacceptable desires

Ubuntu :: Download Delays In Synaptic?

Jan 26, 2010

Whenever I try to install any new software using package manager, software center or apt-get, it gets stuck at Downloading for almost a minute and then the download starts. No problems with the net connections-a high speed connection to backbone through a firewall. It occurs even while updating the package repos.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Copy Random Jpg From Random Folder

Ubuntu Installation :: New Install Suffering Long Delays?

Nov 19, 2010

I'm running ubuntu on an i5-650, Intel H55 mobo system. I have 4GB RAM.I was running Lucid (AMD64) very happily, but then had a severe failure of the Samsung HD502HJ hdd (the smart report is showing more than 1000 bad sectors, increasing everytime I try to access the disk).I have replaced that drive with a Seagate ST3500418AS. Using ddrescue I was able to recover all but 9MB of the drive content. However, with my /etc, /proc and /opt directories having gone missing, I decided that attempting to recover the installation was a lost cause so I went ahead and installed Maverick onto the new drive.As part of this process I created a separate partition for my /home directory (recovered from the old drive).

Now, having installed only a few 'essential' packages (eg autofs5), I've realised that a lot of actions are taking well in excess of a minute to take effect. For instance, clicking on 'Places->Computer', it takes approximately 100 seconds before the Nautilus window appears.According to System Monitor, there is nothing using any significant resource during this time - it's as though something is waiting for a timeout to complete before actioning my command.If I look at the processes in System Monitor during this time, I can see that the Nautilus process is showing 'autofs4_wait'.

OpenSUSE :: Keyboard Delays / Incorrect Characters

Jun 6, 2010

I have been using SUSE 11.2 for some time now. I have 2 problems that I have been unable to resolve.

1. I like to use the Caps-Lock key to type capital letters every now and then. I turn caps lock on, type the letter, turn it off, and type the rest of the word (Yes I know I can use shift. My brain is not willing to unlearn ). After I turn the caps lock off, there seems to be a delay after which it switches off. This ends up making the second character caps as well. For example I want to type 'Who' instead I end up typing 'WHo'.

What setting can I tweak to get rid of this ? I am not sure what to search for, if some one has already asked this question.

2. I often select a couple of words using the 'ctrl+shift+ left / right arrow key' combination and attempt to overwrite the selection by typing in new characters. For example select the words 'abcd xyz' and then type 'a', which will replace the selected text. Sometimes I get this character '' instead of 'a'. A similar thing happens for other characters. Sometimes the keyboard will not respond for the first 2-3 strokes and the system will send out a *beep*. I have no clue why this happens. It does not happen consistently either. But it does happen in all text related windows. For example in a browser / kwrite / <Insert an application that can handle text here>

Ubuntu :: GRUB 2 Error Delays Startup, Doesn't Show Menu

Oct 12, 2010

I'm encountering an unusual problem with GRUB 2. Whenever I start up my system, my BIOS'es load and do their thing, and then hand the show over to GRUB, which is supposed to not appear or do anything because my GRUB countdown is set to 0, but instead I get two errors like this that appear for about 5 or 10 seconds (greatly delaying startup) and then Xubuntu, the first entry on my Grub menu, loads: (I set GRUB to automatically boot my first entry):

Code:
error: no suitable mode found
error: unknown command 'terminal'

Fedora :: Upgraded To Fc11 - Huge Delays In Login

Nov 6, 2009

Recently upgraded to fc11. Have nvidia working ok. Using kernel 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i586 (not the latest). When booting up I get to gui login and see the background change. It takes 20 seconds or more before I see the login dialog box. After selecting the user it takes another 20 seconds before I see the box change to enter the password. This only happens at boot. If I logout and log back in everything is fine.

Networking :: NetworkManager Delays Booting: Connecting In 30 Seconds

Nov 30, 2010

That is what it says during boot (splash=verbose):

Code:
Starting KNetworkmanager
Connecting in 30 seconds
{counting down from here, no more text scrolling}

kdm starts (on screen 7) and I can give user name and password but on screen 1 is still this countdown. I have only mobile internet via (GSM / HSPA) and this is not connected when the wait is over.

I looked for a .conf file but those I found have no means to change this behaviour of the networkmanager. How can I set seconds to 1 or even 0?

Software :: Dumped KDE - Delays Between A Mouse Click And Reaction

Feb 8, 2010

Until my hard disk crashed I was running happily Debian Lenny with KDE 3.5.9. Rock solid, and blazingly fast on a AMD 1700+ processor with an 5 year old NVIDIA MX440. After the hard disk crash six months ago I decided to install Debian testing. Unfortunately Debian Testing comes with KDE4. The experience was horrendous. Instable, slow, dead slow, missing applications, limited setting capabilities, lacking functionality.

At the time I posted some comments on Debian and KDE forums. The KDE gurus blamed Debian, the Debian gurus blamed KDE. The answers I received included "KDE4 is still in development now, but it will be great, one day" In the mean time I replaced the VGA card with a faster one (FX5200) and indeed, the GUI became workable, but that is all to say about it. It still was slow. There are noticable delays between a mouse click and reaction. The system overall feels sluggish and contains many bugs. Even when I disable the graphic effects it doesn't become much better. In no way the snappyness of KDE 3 is achieved.

Almost two years ago I tried KDE4 (4.0 at the time) and I was scared. I posted some messages here and there, stating that KDE4 had become Vistalized. (Does that word need an explanation?) Two years further, and it is still on the edge of unusable. Last week I have installed Xfce. I had seen it before, but too many things were different and I switched back to KDE. This time I put some more effort in and got used to it in a day or two. Nothing wrong with Xfce, it is not even hard to use. For the time being Xfce will be the desktop I install on new machines instead of KDE.Too bad, KDE 3.5 was a great desktop. I am wondering whether there are more people who dumped KDE in favor of a less resource hungry bloated and Vista-like desktop?

Ubuntu :: Printing With Exact Size Photos And With Poor Auto Colour Printing But The Situation Remains Unchanged

May 31, 2010

I expected more from ubuntu 10.4 with regards to printing with exact size photos and with poor auto colour printing but the situation remains unchanged! for instance .. the photo size configurations for ubuntu/fspot/gimp and others are not compatible with my printers (HP and Brother) .. here in Europe a typical standard size photo (10x15inches or 150x100mm are not even on the Ubuntu listing? I have tried all listed possibilities including "custom" (which does not seem to ever work correctly?)and the result at best is photos with uneven boarders or at worse my printer goes a bit crazy with much wasted photo paper and expensive ink ...even photos selected for "no boarders" still produces photos with the self same uneven boarders.

I have tried pretty much everything over time following advice in this forum and including using HPlip and updating drivers required for my Brother printer but the root problem seemingly lies with the Ubunto photo size setup listing. Working with Ubuntu over the years I have found that it can do pretty much everything that Windows can do except for this dam ongoing photo quality and configuration problem.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - 10 Minute Bootups?

Jul 8, 2010

I recently upgraded to 10.04 but also changed around some drives and it is now taking nearly 10 minutes to boot.The drive changes were the removal of one SATA drive used for storage and the addition of a two drive RAID1 set via the onboard ICH10R SATA controller that is used for storage. I then used DMRAID to initialize the raid set in Ubunutu. All of the operating system is still located on the primary IDE drive.Here are two versions of my bootchart:I turned off quiet mode hoping to see an error during bootup to search for but here is what I see prior to the system pausing for 5+ minutes:

Code:
[ 18.781348] kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds.
[ 18.781367] ext3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - 1 Minute Boot Time?

May 19, 2010

Why is my computer taking around a minute to boot? 10.04 for me is slower at booting than 8.04 is. 10.04 is taking about 10 seconds to get to the login screen, then almost a minute after that before it gets to a fully loaded desktop.

Ubuntu Installation :: Ten Minute Start Up?

May 1, 2011

I just updated to Natty yesterday and I went straight into burg no problem, but from that point Ubuntu takes anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes to boot. I literally have to leave the room and go do other things while waiting. So, today I did a complete fresh install and it is on ssd with plenty of space, go straight to grub no problems. Windows 7 will boot at its normal speed, but Ubuntu just sits with a purple screen for anywhere to 5-10 minutes after grub menu. I have reinstalled two more times and still same issue, holding down and tapping shift key did make it boot one time in about a minute and a half (usual time in 10.10 on my machine is about 12 seconds). I don't think it is a graphics issue but I am running an ATI card.

Ubuntu :: Taking Screenshots With Scrot Every Minute?

Jul 12, 2010

I have an issue with crontab that I can't resolve even though I searched the web like crazy. I tried to create a new cron job for taking a screenshot automatically every minute with scrot using "crontab -e" like so...

Code:
* * * * * /usr/bin/scrot ~/screenshots/screen\%G-\%T.png > ~/log.txt

when I run it in my shell it does work fine and it seems to run with cron also because the log.txt file is modified every minute, however when I run it through cron the screenshots don't appear in the screenshots directory and nowhere else either.

Other jobs in the same crontab run very well. It doesn't seem to be a PATH issue because the paths are complete.

Ubuntu :: Files (30 Second To 5 Minute Clips) Spread Out Across Several Directories?

I have about 50GB of .MOD video files that I need to compress to a smaller format. The only problem is that there are many files (30 second to 5 minute clips) spread out across several directories. I was wondering if anyone knew of a tool that will recursively search the directories and batch convert all of the files? I'm open to anything including a good script for mencoder or ffmpeg.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Install Black Screen After One Minute?

Jul 3, 2010

I am installing 10.04 on a HP pavilion. I have downloaded the ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso (live CD). When I try to boot or install from it, the screen shows the "ubuntu" with the red dots for a minute and then a black screen with no action from the hard drive or the CD drive. I think it should be asking what language I want but presing enter does nothing.I have been using Ubuntu since 2006 and after yesterday's repartition I installed 6.06 from a live CD so I know I can install from a CD.

Ubuntu :: Keyboard / Mouse Unresponsive For 1st Minute Of Start Up - Cause Of It?

Jul 29, 2010

This just started happening recently on an older install of Linux Mint 9, 32 bit, Gnome with Compiz using a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse.

I noticed another problem about the same time and I don't know if it is related but now when I restart I get the "default keyring login" pop up message. The keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for at least 60-90 seconds after everything has opened. It only recently started to do this and is not a result of old/slower hardware.

I don't know where to start looking for a cause or what section to post this in.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Totem Comes To Halt In 30 To 45 Minute Video
