Ubuntu :: Clusterssh Unstable KDE 4.3.2?
Feb 2, 2010
In one of the last KDE 4 updates, or perhaps when moving from intrepid to karmic, using the application "clusterssh" has become completely unstable. Some of the symptoms I have experienced:
1. Window focus problems. Clicking on a single xterm window from a group of xterms controlled by clusterssh does not switch focus to that window. Focus stays on the clusterssh application, so output is still directed to all xterms. Previously, I could interact with a single xterm, or with all of them.
2. Clipboard problems. After using clusterssh for awhile, and perhaps using the clipboard within clusterssh cutting and pasting between other applications completely fails. The only work-around is to completely log out of your kde session, hence killing your clusterssh sessions.
3. xterm window manipulation. At some point during a clusterssh session, all xterm windows become locked in place. You can't move them at all. This also leads to focus problems described above. The work-around for this is to switch virtual desktops, and then switch back to your clusterssh session, and now the windows can be manipulated and re-organized again.

I newly made clean installation of Ubuntu 10.04 and I previews had Ubuntu 9.10 installed. When I made clean installation of Ubuntu 10.04 and looked into syslog, dmesg and kern.log I could see clocksource tsc unstable and CE: hpet increasing min_delta_ns. In every boot.
Here is some information:

I have a Linux box with Ubuntu 10.4 that I use basically to play music and download files. It doesn't have a monitor or keyboard, the only way I access it is using Ultra VNC. Yesterday, the automatic update service offered to update Vino (among other things) to version 2.28.2 and, as usual, I accepted.
After the update Ultra VNC has had trouble negotiating the protocol with Vino. The only way I got it to work was to force using Tight as the compression method, which provides a crappy image quality. Besides that, at some unexpected moment, the connection just dies.
Can anyone help me to:
1.- Solve this issue with the current Vino version or
2.- Go back to the previous version that was working perfectly.

I seem to be having problems with karmic and perhaps GRUB2 sometimes when the computer boots after the GRUB2 screen I get a flashing cursor (underscore) and nothing happens. I end up having to hard reset. other times I'm using karmic and everything seems ok and then it suddenly freezes. I haven't been able to find a reason. Memtest seems ok too. which log file is likely to show me where things went wrong?

Why is Ubuntu slower and more unstable than Fedora on my laptop? I thought, as it is a more popular distro, it wouldn't be. I've only used it on my laptop for a couple of days and I already had at least 3 default software crashes. On Fedora, I had about one crash per two weeks. Ubuntu is also slightly slower. Opening the Social broadcast messages window took so long to open, that meanwhile, I totally forgot that I opened it.

I want to use linux instead of windows to create my videos, but all the video editors are so unstable that they are not possible to use at all.At first I Thought it was my hardware or something but I tried on my laptop as well. They all crash randomly every time I try to do stuff.I have tried OpenShot, VLMC, Pitivi, OpenMovieEditor, Avidemux, Kino, LiVES, Cinelerra and Kdenlive.How come I never have problems like this in windows?I know Linux sometimes sucks when it comes to brand new hardware, but seriously though. All the video editors are crashy.

after a while, all my menus that pop up on Firefox 4 become unstable. When I go to click on the "file", "edit", "view", etc. buttons, they never stay when I go down the list. Also when I right click, the list will not stay either.
This is a bug that needs to be reported, so I am reporting it now. Hopefully we can get this problem fixed in the next update

I have run Ubuntu on my laptop for several months. The last few weeks for an unknown reason when I click on something(nothing that seems related)I start getting many notification on the bottom panel and it just continues until I shutdown my computer but pushing down the off switch, the only way to stop it.
I have tried computer janitor and only get an error message that it can't run because it thinks synaptic or another item is running when it is not. I am TOTALLY lost when it comes to fixing issues in Linux but I like it and want to keep it on my hard drive. Where to start and remember I am an idiot when it comes to Linux.
Also some program's seem to crash for no apparent reason.

Has anyone else experienced problems with KVM in the last few days?
I've been running KVM VMs for the last year. Until sometime in the last few days they've been working fine. I have three F13 systems that I'm running KVM on, an iCore7 with a CentOS5.5 VM, a Core 2 with a CentOS5.5 VM and another Core2 with an XP VM. I haven't seen any problems with the iCore7 system but the two Core2 systems are both exhibiting serious problems.
The CentOS VM is hanging. I can ping it but I can't ssh into it anymore. Prior to that state I was able to ssh in put I couldn't do a ps. Eventually I couldn't ssh in anymore. This is repeatable, I've rebooted the system a couple of times and restarted the VM, it always crashes in the same way.
The XP VM is running but the networking is behaving strangely. Basic networking is working but I can't access the Workgroup although I can access network mounted SAMBA shares that I had previously setup. This could be a SAMBA issue but it started happening at the same time as my other problems.
Another problem that I had was that the virtual disks on multiple VMs on both systems became unbootable. I was able to fix this by removing the disks and then adding them back.

During Karmic betas, my Marvell 88E8056 did not work at all. When Karmic got released, it started working but after December update, become terribly unstable, disconnecting like every 5 minutes. It is integrated on P5Q-E mobo. Luckily, I also have Marvell 88E8001 so I switched and it works. I was thinking that new kernel broke driver, and thought that next update will fix it. But yesterday I needed both NICs, and 88E8056 is still did not work. I am using .31-17 kernel. So I do not know if my NIC died or what? Can someone with same NIC say if it works for him? Does it work in Lucid Alpha 1 ?

I have just switched to Ubuntu from Win 7 RC. So far its been fun, learning to use terminal and all. But I have got a problem now I cannot find a solution to.
I am using 3 Mobile Broadband. The thing just worked - I plugged it in, created a new connection, modified config a little and was happily browsing.
However, it started acting out yesterday. When I boot the system with the modem plugged in, the USB stick is recignised and NetworkManager starts connecting (I have auto connect on). It then shows the "connected" message, and generally appears working fine.
On the other hand, I cannot open a single page in Firefox, it shows the default server not found page.
I used the approach Windows taught me: close, open, retry. I unmount the 3 Mobile Broadband drive, pull the modem out and reconnect it. NetworkManager then does it's job and this time everything works.
I nether had this problem in Win7 or Vista. It looks to me something goes wrong during the booting when the modem is plugged in.

As was requested, I installed ubuntu maverick on a desktop computer that was having problems. I installed maverick (32-bit), and it crashes usually during or after software installation.
The specs of the computer:
Pentium D processor
1GB RAM
Intel integrated graphics card
160GB HDD, 40GB ext4 ubuntu partition
The only problem I can think of is that I've had stability issues on ext4. I *think* Pentium D's might be 64-bit, but I don't think that'd be an issue. If I can get this sorted out, the install will count as an epic win, first time I've ever experienced complete out of the box hardware support, printer included, plus compiz on an intel integrated graphics card.

I've been running Ubuntu on an IBM Thinkpad T42 for about 3 years and have never had any instability but my Meerkat upgrade 10.10 about a week ago has never been right and seems to be getting worse. It's almost impossible to use the Internet. Whether Epiphany or Firefox, the screen keeps going grey and regularly freezes the computer completely so that NO keyboard commands work and only a hard restart will do. I also have problems streaming audio feeds with RP 11 or VLC. VLC is more of a problem which I find odd as it is solid in Windoze.
PS The instability isn't only Internet related. There are lots of strange little things like authentication windows not closing after I enter password and hit Enter or click OK, not being able to paste in Terminal (sometimes not others), toolbard in apps appearing differently sometimes, stuff like that.

A fresh Xubuntu 10.10 install will give me access to my network, but with fluctuating speeds, and certain pages load forever. I have tried the blacklist edit as well as ndiswrapper, and neither have helped me. I can't find a madwifi guide for this issue either. Details: Upon fresh install of xubuntu 10.10, wireless is detected. I enter my, key, hit google, and all is good. Then I try to log into my online classes. Firefox hung forever. So I tried a few other sites, and to my disappointment, random sites seemed to fail. Brand-new, fresh, clean Xubuntu 10.10 install, Toshiba Satellite M45-165.

I have an USB 3G Modem to access broadband internet.The USB 3G Modem is a flying angel from TechFaith company.The modem works fine under Windows XP. The USB 3G Modem propose a data partition with an automatic installation of its driver and software. When I plug the device to the 9.04 Ubuntu workstation it mounts the data partition, but does not find the 3G modem device. I search the internet to find a solution, and the only working solution I found is the following. However, this solution is not stable, after some minutes the device is dropped (no more ttyUSB). I can not use the same process to enable the device.
Code:
su -
eject /dev/sr1
modprobe -v option
echo "1d09 1026" >/sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/option1/new_id
[code]....
I used the wizard to configure the braodband access (Brunei/B-mobile). It works for somes minutes, and then the connection drops, the /dev/ttyUSB desappears and I can not redo the process.I have to enter the commands in a root shell, the sudo command will not enable the device. Why it does not works with sudo?

Does ANYONE have a stable dual boot Win7 & Ubuntu 10.04 system? I have been trying for WEEKS to get a computer configured for my student lab. I get things going and everything seems to work for a few days. And then for no reason, the next time I reboot, Grub just seems to commit suicide.
Latest example. Win 7 & Ubuntu have been co-existing perfectly fine for about a week. Iow, I do something, then reboot, and the grub menu comes up - I select something and it boots my OS of choice for that session.
But today, I've been putting the last few touches on this computer before I use Clonezilla to copy it to all of the computers in the lab. You know - hard stuff like:
* set the default profile in Windows
* install a printer in both Ubuntu & Windows
* set a background image for the logon screens that have our "don't do anything bad" policy.
how there is nothing in there that should mess w/ grub or the boot loader, right? Yet I reboot the computer, I get to where grub should load - and BARF - I get the Bios splash screen again and the computer reboots on it's own. What the !@(#$&!@#$% is going on that this keeps happening to begin with?

I understand that wireless is one of the most common problems with Linux, although I did not have this experience with past distributions or versions. After two years away from Ubuntu I installed 10.04 and everything is working fine except the wireless connection. Actually, it does work and connect, but goes up and down, loses connection and in most cases does not reconnect, unless I am 1 meter from the router. The room next door is already too far, a place where I normally have my laptop connecting perfectly with XP.
I am using a Toshiba M70,some additional information below:

When using anything that involves flash on google chrome, often the flash player crashes going black with an unhappy jigsaw piece inside. it also struggles at handling multiple tasks in different tabs. i know that adobe flash player is not designed for ubuntu, and will not run at optimum level, but i would like to know if anyone has done or knows anything that will make it more stable/quick.

I have Ubuntu running on my HTPC and for the longest time all this was working fine. Now all of the sudden my Internet connection is all sorts of slow. Chrome browser, transmission bt, apt-get, all have the same speed issue. I tried disabling IPv6, changing my DNS and installing all the latest updates. Nothing works.

I'm using a notebook with Intel 4965AGN and connecting to a Linksys WRT320N router. I can connect most of the time but after a while (sometimes a few minutes, sometimes a few hours) I lose connection. The notification icon would not change. I would only find out when I browse or click on a link and it would just get stuck at "Looking for <url>..." My wife's notebook would still be connected to the router even after mine has mysteriously disconnected. But she uses another os.

My work machine crashes 1-3 times a day, and I often lose work. This is getting very frustrating--I've never known a Linux system to be so unstable.
When it freezes, I can still move the mouse around. I believe it's also still doing some background tasks, since files have finished copying before and my music will still be playing, if it was before. But the mouse cursor doesn't change, and it's totally nonresponsive.
The trouble is, I don't know how to diagnose this problem, to tell you something less vague. I might be able to check, to see what's going on? The problem usually comes about when I'm doing something--either loading a new web page, or starting a new program, or even when I just hit a button. Otherwise, I'm just stumped.

I'm using an Atheros ath9k wireless card that has been pretty stable since Ubuntu 9.04. I did a clean install of Natty and ever since my wireless connection has been pretty unstable.
It doesn't actually disconnects but I lose all connectivity. The wifi card continues loaded with a static IP Address assigned to it but I cannot connect to anything. The only way to fix it is restating the network manager and I have to do it at least a couple of times every day.
I tried to whitelist ath_pci on /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf but the problem still persists. Also yesterday I enabled the ubuntu backports on my software sources but so far no kernel updates.
Here are some of the messages filling up the logs:

I'm having trouble with my Samsung Netbook N220 and its Realtek 8192 wireless card and could use some help with diagnostics. I would like to use the netbook as a server and after a day or so the system stops responding. What I'd like to know:
- What do the "========>ieee80211_parse_info_param(): athros AP is exist" spam messages actually say? Does anyone else have this and stability problems?
- Why is the realtek driver package not working?
I'm running Ubuntu Netbook 10.04/Kernel 2.6.32-24-generic. Initially the card was unable to connect, so I installed the Realtek driver rtl8192se_linux_2.6.0017.0507.2010 which adds a kernel module r8192se_pci.ko. At first my system was hanging during bootup. I then restored /lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic and now the card is connecting but the system is unstable. The 2.6.32-23-generic kernel, modules listed below, still has modules as installed by the realtek driver and is not working. Below the drivers supplied by ubuntu
./2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/ubuntu/rtl8192se/r8192se_pci.ko
./2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8192su
./2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/rtl8192su/r8192s_usb.ko

Every time I download torrents in Ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop, using Transmission or Deluge clients, the wireless transfer speed abruptly drops off, becomes very choppy, and in general doesn't remain stable. It's not only the torrent download that slows down, but it's everything including web surfing, even though I'm not maxing out my connection speed. It's not that I'm getting disconnected from my router, it's just that the wireless transfer speed drops off, becomes intermittent, and never gets back up to full speed.
At first I thought that my ISP was throttling my connection, but this issue doesn't happen with a direct cable connection to my router, nor did it happen when I was running Ubuntu 10.04 before. It also doesn't happen when I'm downloading the exact same torrents over wireless using my netbook running Ubuntu Netbook Remix. This issue ONLY seems to happen when using a bittorrent client while on wireless on Ubuntu 11.04 on my desktop. I can max out my internet connection speed by streaming videos, downloading from FTP, etc. using wireless just fine, and the transfer speed remains stable. This also seems to happen with a couple of different wireless USB adapters (rt73usb or rtl8187 drivers).
