Today I noticed a large sound gap while playing Minecraft. There is about a second of lag between an action and the sound effect. This wasn't happening the night before, and I thought it might be a problem with Java or Minecraft until I noticed it on a flash application in Firefox. I've tried killing pulse audio, but I noticed nothing. I also looked into the sound preferences and tried the speaker test, which had no lag.
Other possibly relevant information : I dual boot my laptop with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10. Ubuntu has some updates ready, but I don't believe its relevant because the problem just started.
I would like to kindly ask you for some advice. Allmost a month I am experiencing strange behaviour of the system. I use Debian Wheezy 64bit on Intel Core i3 processor, SSD hadr drive, 4GB ram. Problem is, that sometimes the system becomes very slow when booting kernel, the kernel booting stops for 5-8 seconds on something (timimng, Processor initialization or something related, but not always the same thing) and then the system is booting noticeable slower than usual and when in the graphic environment (I use gnome) everything seems to be slower than usual, the typing in console is slow with lags and videos (movies) are not watchable due to freezes and lags.
I was trying to figure out what is causing it, the only thing I came up with is, that when I wait 10-15 sec in grub menu before selecting the kernel and after some time I manualy hit enter, it usualy boots fast and with no additional issues in the system. Sometimes it boots up normally even without this longer waiting time, but sometimes not. It is strange.
ever since i started using opensuse at the end of december, this has been bugging me. when i try to watch a full-screen videos video in either chromium or firefox, it lags to the point where maybe i'm getting 0.5 frames per second. ironically, when i launch chrome in virtualized windows 7 (virtualbox) to watch a full-screen flash video it looks smooth as butter. yes, even with the virtualization overhead and everything.
i'm using adobe flash 10,3,181,22 from the opensuse repositories, chromium 15 and firefox 5. i'm on a 64-bit system.
After I upgraded from kernel 2.6.32-31 to 2.6.32-32 and then 2.6.32-33, my sound started to lag(the lag occurred on 2.6.32-32 and stayed to 2.6.32-33, but it worked perfectly ever before). Sound does work in itself, but frequently lags and pieces that were already played before will be played again, pretty much like an old vinyl that occasionally jumps or hangs. When I start to replay something, it does not put out anything for a second or two and then starts, when I stop it will keep playing for the exact same amount of time. So, sound is synced to videos(video replay works perfectly well and without the lag). Problem is definitely related to the sound drivers, not to replay software or any buggy file. It occurs with DVDs, Flash Videos in Firefox, music in gmusicbrowser, movie files with VLC, whatever you want. I never experienced such problems with any kernel before. Although I've seen many others posting similar problems, I cannot see any valid solution for myself.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 and I sure don't want to go to 10.10 for the second.
I reinstalled Alsa and Pulse, no joy. My sound card is recognized correctly by alsa and can be found in aplay -l. It's a generic onboard surround sound device, although I only use stereo channels.
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 beta. After installing the flash player, everything worked fine. I installed a few updates, as well as Ubuntu Stuido from the synaptic package manager, and when I rebooted, I can't hear any sound from flash content displayed in Fire Fox. All other sounds work fine, and I made another user account as a test, and that account has full audio functionality, including flash...
Is there a good open source alternative to flash and/or java out there? I really don't want to support adobe and java irritates me because for some reason I can't install it without also installing firefox (why are they dependent?) so I'd like to try something else.
how to upgrade and update both Flash and Java on Ubuntu 11.04 I use both Mozilla Firefox and Chromium and not sure if I need to download flash and Java for each program or not.
I play two online games. One uses flash (Habbo), the other java (RuneScape). With the flash one, it loads everything up until the part where it loads the interactive elements (hovering navigators, interactive chat rooms etc), then it crashes and tells me to reload. With the java one, everything loads up until the login screen, but when I actually go to log in, it just sits there and tells me it's connecting but doesn't do anything.
I've asked the support team on Habbo for assistance, but I got a reply telling me to clear my temporary files with instructions for windows machines, even though I specified I was on Ubuntu. I did what they instructed me to (which was clearing everything from my DNS cache to my temporary files), with no amazing results. Runescape was pretty much the same. I think it's something to do with my internet... I'm not really an expert at this.
I'm using 8.10, but wanted to upgrade firefox to the latest version, so I downloaded the tarball from their website and compiled that. FF 3.6 works fine, but I havn't been able to get my flash or java plugins to work since.
Ever since I upgraded to Namoroka a few months ago I can't view video from ....., flash videos, java etc... I always keep my machine updated with the update mgr, did some plugin updates but stil no videos. I'm getting tired of copying and pasting url's into epiphany each time I want to see a video. I'm running Namoroka ver. 3.6.5pre mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 on Karmic.
I read this morning that MicroSoft and Adobe Flash released a huge security update to counter the threat of malicious apps taking over systems. Included in the fix was Excel spreadsheets. Apparently a hacker could send a spreadsheet that if opened could remotely take over your machine. I opened my update manager and there was a sizable Open Office and Java update.
Question: Are Linux/Ubuntu machines susceptible to the security flaws? Question: Since Adobe Flash is considered proprietary and not updated through the Ubuntu update manager, do I have to manually update that package?
My computer freezes and I am trying to diagnose the issue. When.. Using Devede to convert avi to dvd. (almost always) Using Firefox on pages using macromedia flash or java apps. With multiple windows open using terminal. I am strongly leaning towards this being a HARDWARE issue.
i have slackware 12.2 on a toshiba laptop and i cannot play flash movies on videos and similar stuff.
it also complains sometimes that i do not have java. but i do have java on my system. i think slackware comes with java included afaik. is there some sort of process or a tutorial i must read to get these things all set up? also, do i still have to install some kind of flash application?
I enabled java and flash in Iceweasel 3.5.16 via the related/required packages in the repository so flash-nonfree (or whatever it is) and the related java one. I didn't install either flash or java manually so no plugins that way. Flash and java works in Iceweasel. If I wanted to try Swiftfox, what do I do? I have it installed but both flash and java don't work.
I assume that one has to do the manual installs for both so go to both Flash and Java official sites and install the related Linux package. Will this conflict with my Iceweasel-based java/flash packages? Or do they go in separate directories and files? I don't want a conflict or interference and thus, don't want to break what's working.
I use a web-based teleconferencing tool that is Java-based (on Linux anyway). At the moment it is completely unusable because there's no sound. Apparently Java tries to open the device directly and this of course doesn't work with PulseAudio. I tried wrapping it in padsp but that didn't do anything. I'm using Sun Java SE 1.6.0_20 64-bit. Any of the so-called alternatives -- gcj, OpenJDK, Cacao, you name it -- won't even load the applet (or any other Java program I've used) so they're not an option. We have a heatwave coming, people will be working from home and I need to stay in touch with my teams. Any ideas how to get this working that don't involve wiping out Ubuntu and installing Windows (also not an option because sound input, i.e. skype, also doesn't work in Ubuntu under VirtualBox).
I have this problem that whenever java is running (eg. Runescape), sound works only in the Java window, and I don't get sound from flash, mp3s or anywhere else.I found several similar threads but most of them were unsolved, and the few solutions didn't work.Note: Earlier, I used to use IcedTea browser plugin for java, which didn't seem to give any sound problems, though was a bit glitchy otherwise. This problem started only after switching to the Java plugin found
I recently upgraded an ASUS netbook through a series of about 4 or so upgrades ending at Maverick (10.10). Sound in Java applets worked fine before that, but I've been trying for about a week now to get it working again.
Here is what I have tried so far: Removed Sun Java and plugin, and installed Openjdk and icedtea Removed Openjdk and icedtea, and installed Sun Java and plugin Verified through aboutlugins that FireFox plugin matched installed Java plugin Tried using padsp and aoss wrappers
Along the way I have also tried other suggestions I have found through Google for configuring sound and setting file permissions, but nothing works. No matter what I do, sound keeps working everywhere except in Java applets.
Here are some observations along the way.
Sound has worked everywhere I try except in Java applets. It works with Flash.
Java applets work fine except for sound. Java console indicates that sound files are being received and passed to applets.
My Java executable is located at /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java. I have tried renaming it "java.real" and creating a shell script that wraps it with padsp or aoss. When I do that Java works, but Java applets fail to start. The Java console does not start up, so the wrappers appear to prevent applets from starting.
I am trying to run applets at [url]. They work fine for me on a 64-bit 10.04 system and a 32-bit 10.04 system.
When I watching video with full screen mode of VLC, the video is so lag that it makes me angry. The video display normal by Totem, Gnome Media Player, Mplayer (but these application has too much bugs) . I use Ubuntu Lucid. VGA Intel 945, P4 3.0, Ram 1GB DDR2.
I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on my Gateway MD2419u the specs are:AMD Athlon X2 QL-62 / 2.0 GHz processor,ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics,DDR2 ram this should be sufficient, should it not? I have updated software and installed the additional proprietary drivers.
My sound is otherwise working fine, but for some reason i'm not getting any sound when running java applets. This issue is very important to me, i would -really- like to get the sound back on this applet.it's a java runtime environment applet, running in embedded in firefox. Somehow, the systems isn't detecting it as a application outputting sound.
i tried uninstalling the sound manager application via synaptic, selected the 'completely remove' option, and wound up uninstalling essentially the entire OS last weekend. i'd like to not repeat that mishap, as i lost all my data.
I just installed Fedora 12 and after downloading and running the Java Sound Demo I get exceptions. If I run just a vanilla Java program that plays a .wav file it runs silently with no sound and no exceptions.
Every other app seems to play sound. I also took some advice from this thread in the Ubuntu forums which almost seemed to work. (Installing aoss got rid of the initial exceptions in the sound demo but I still hear nothing when I play.) I'm getting frustrated by the individual hoops I have to go through to eek sound out of my speakers when running Java apps on Linux platforms!
Anyway, my internet has been working fine until recently (last week or so). For most sites, Firefox will load the page quickly. However, every once in a while, but frequently enough to annoying, it will say "loading" for 10 seconds, then direct me to OpenDNS, which says the page cannot load. When I try it again, I get the same problem. Other sites are fine.
Then, when I quit Firefox and restart it, that site will work fine, but soon enough, another site stops loading properly.
For example, Google will work fine for awhile, then I'll get the error, but after restarting, Google will be fine again, but now Wikipedia, which loaded before, gets the error. And the cycle continues on yet another website...
I haven't changed any Internet or network settings recently. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on my Dell Dimension 9100 it has a dual core 3ghz possessor. 2.5 gigs of dual channel ddr2 memory, with a nvidea gforce 9400 1gig of memory graphic card. I installed the game a couple of weeks ago, everything works really good, but in the last couple of days when I am playing the game it starts to lag really bad during game play, it goes in and out of the lag, if I wait 10-20 seconds it will get back to normal, but it is very annoying.
Sometimes (not always, mind you), several applications, lag. A lot. For instance, Blender 3D is entirely unusable and don't get me started on Fallout 3. Other examples include Minecraft (Not the Windows .exe but the .jar) and XMoto. So I assume it has something to do with the graphics driver or the likes. For some reason, Compiz still works fine. The only way I can fix those lags is to reset X, which is not exactly a good way, especially because this happens to shut down uShare and thus cancels my movie stream. So..
For support reasons, here's my setup:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 (2*2,2GHz) Graphics: Nvidia Geforge 8600GT, 512 MB 2 GB RAM 500 GB HDD (The Maverick partition is 159 GB, 2 GB Swap) Some hama WiFi-Stick ForteMedia something something audio card
I have a problem multitasking in ubuntu. all i want to do is be able to browse the web or play a game while listening to music, currently trying to do this slows or makes music lag.I have a dual core processor and 2 gb of ram, and ubuntu runs lightening fast, even while multitasking everything but the music runs great. i can do this in windows, so i dont see why i cant do it in ubuntu.
i have watched my cpu and ram monitors while doing this and there are plenty of unused resources, i believe neither processor core ever tops 20% while trying to do this, and ram, 7%. I want ubuntu to use the extra resources instead of taking away from my music playback. And what i mean by games are like quadrapassel and simple stuff, im not trying anything difficult. So my question is; Can i make ubuntu use more resources, or never sacrifice music quality?
My sound on Runescape stops and picks up, is very choppy and annoying. I'm using Debian "Lenny". Sound on everything else works just fine (Flash, VLC, etc...)
Since I upgraded to Maverick, every now and then (maybe once an hour) my system becomes very slow for about half a minute. The mouse cursor reacts only very slowly and also applications freeze for for some time.
This happens without the CPU being on full load or the hard disk being active.
I made a clean ubuntu installation on a new hard drive a week ago, but the problem persists.
I have a Thinkpad R400 with an Intel GMA 4500 graphics card an an Intel T5670 Core 2 Duo processor. I'm running the most up to date stable version of ubuntu. Kernel 2.6.35-22.
I know the description of the problem is very vague, but it's hard to describe it more accurately. I couldn't find anything helpful on google or the forum. If you have any ideas what might cause the problem or which log files might provide useful information, please let me know. Most importantly, the problem did not occur before I upgraded to Maverick.
