Ubuntu :: Dbus Daemon, Loads Of Activity (slowing Down Machine)?
Mar 24, 2010
when calling 'top' dbus is having load of activity ('dbus-monitor --session') outputs also a lot of action (see attachement). this has effect that my machine is slowing down and normal work takes ages.I have no clue where the activity is coming from. I also had a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...or/+bug/441828. But there are no unnormal devices plugged in... (just keyboard + cordless mouse).when starting the machine the cpu load is ~9%. After a while (after 1 day) it goes up to 70-80%. the started applications do not change during that time. so i guess somewhere there is a leak.
about every second time when I start up my Ubuntu 10.4, my hard drive starts to work heavily. While it's doing so I see in the system monitor that the gnome-settings-daemon has the status 'uninterruptible'. After about 3 minutes the hard drive calms down and the status of gnome-settings-daemon switches to 'sleeping'. so from that I guess the heavy working of the hard drive is somehow related to that process. Sometimes gnome-settings-daemon seems to crash completely so that my theme is gone.
So is there a solution to that? because it's annoying that it slows down the system for about 3 minutes after start up. On the net I've found some old threads from 2004 and 2006 which describe crashing of gnome-settings-daemon. But there didn't seem to be a solution.
I've just upgraded to 10.04. I love it. I've been running dark themes for a long time and this upgrade merged seamlessly with my setup.There is a nasty problem that I've noticed on only my desktop box (laptop is fine, also upgraded to 10.04). The dbus-daemon is hogging approximately 50% of my cpu cycles. Is there a way to limit this? I'm watching this via the System Monitor and the % CPU. My laptop registers its dbus-daemon % CPU as 0.
What does this error message in `/var/log/auth.log` mean? It's showing up at about a rate of 1 per second. My indicator applets are missing as are my status bar icons. The desktop icons are flashing on and off at a rate of about 1 per second.
A little prior to this I installed Wine beta using Ubuntu Software Centre, then applied the multiuser wine recipe as noted here [URL] /showthread.php?t=917422&), then installed a game called ToonTalk3 [URL], and then tried to install DirectX 10 as per these instructions [URL]
The directx install stalled with a series of messages about being unable to copy certain dll files. I aborted the install, using the install wizard's abort command. It was a bit after this that I noticed the flashing symptoms. They may have been there earlier but I usually run my apps full screen so wouldn't have noticed.
I've reversed the wine multi-user configure, again using the recipe, and run `sudo apt-get purge wine1.2`, and logged off and on. The flashing and errors still occur.During logon there are bunch of indicator applet error message dialog boxes (which I'll post later after finishing this message and conducting another log off/on cycle). I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 32bit on an Acer Asper 3500 notebook. The install is about 2 weeks old.
Each time after boot, I have to wait for proximately 2 minutes before Firefox starts showing any web pages. I believe the delay is caused by the following issue: Code: Apr 7 21:03:18 linux-kr6c nm-dispatcher.action: cript '/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/netcontrol_global_hooks' exited with error status 1.Apr 7 21:03:18 linux-kr6c nm-dispatcher.action: cript '/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/nfs' exited with error status 2.

I will leave my computer os Fedora 14 running after a period of time I can hear the hard drive is running really fast and using system monitor I see that a lot of the swap space is being used, the only thing that seems to using a lot of memory is "dbus-daemon"Clicking on it I get the following. dbus-daemonProcess ID : 1739Parent:: initParents's ID :1Number of threads : 2Command: /bin/dbus-daemon--fork--print-pid5--print-address 7-- session Any typos mine as I have a screen shot but can not embed
I have just installed Ubuntu on a machine that has an ATI Radeon 3450 video card installed. If I boot the machine into recovery mode and then select 'normal boot' at the pause I get to a fully functional desktop that is using the fglrx driver. Compiz is happy and my graphics look great. If I boot normally and just let the machine do its own thing I get just past the 'select' screen and the machine stops. There is no further disk activity and the monitor goes into standby mode. I can't see anything relevant in any of the log files.
do have installed glib and dbus and can find them manually , /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib.h , but while comipling applicaiton it gives following error messages.
/usr/include/libosso.h:32:18: error: glib.h: No such file or directory /usr/include/libosso.h:38:23: error: dbus/dbus.h: No such file or directory /usr/include/libosso.h:39:32: error: dbus/dbus-protocol.h: No such file or directory
I'm trying to get mySQL Daemon to start when the machine starts up (and it requires root privileges to run). The command to startup would be
Code: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start however that would prompt for a password, and that would not be very well possible now would it? Now, if i try to start it up without being root, it will not start. So this is my problem, maybe someone out there would know a bit more about this than me.
after some tweaking i managed to get nessus installed on my machine. However i'm running into an issue when trying to add a user.The nessus daemon is running on my machine, i've registered. I think everything is peachy in that regard, but when i run:
Obviously the command not found is my error, from what i understand there isn't a default user placed in the first time.So essentially i have thie program installed, but i can't access it.
When I install a commercial audio into the CDROM drive I get th following: Unable to mount Audio Disc DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Mountpoint Already registered
when I connect my iphone (3GS, 4.3.3) to Fedora 15 it gives me this error: Unable to mount iphone DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus). The weird thing: after looking in var/log/messages it appears that it is trying to be used by NetworkManager. And when I lookin NM, i can see iPhone as an ethernet device (cable unplugged).
I'm not sure what when wrong since I have a few DVDs and they all play well in my normal DVD player, I later attempt to mount it in my Ubuntu 8.10 I'm presented with the following message:
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
May I know what does this really mean?Is there something in my computer that require a fix?
I recently got karoo broadband installed, the speed is normally 8mbps but the longer I am connected to my router the slower it gets, I have to disconnect and reconnect to the router to get back to full speed, is this due to a bad wireless driver or do I need new drivers or a better router.
I have do some research by google to find out How To I slow down the speed when playing movie! And I found this: [URL]. But I not sure how can I do it!!
I have got my Fedora12 setup working just beautifully... except the mouse!
A few months ago I invested in a very nice, expensive high performance mouse with very high resolution tracking. In Fedora 12 it is just too fast for me though, and I'm already well on the way to Carpel tunnel syndrome..
I have turned the sensitivity and acceleration down as far as they go but it is still too fast. The old ways of adjusting xorg parameters are, I understand it, now null and void due to the hotplugging HAL framework.
How to turn the speed of the mouse down on Fedora if the control panel doesnt turn it down enough.
This little Atom-based unit works fine with Linux, but its fan is running at full-speed all the time.So I figured maybe lm_sensors could ajust its speed dynamically, but "sensors", "fancontrol", and "pwmconfig" all fail to work, even though the modules required for this motherboard are up and running:
As mentioned in another of my recent posts, I have set up a small network for my job, in which I am utilizing 4 Servers running Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope Gnome GUI and Ubuntu Server running underneath (yes I need a GUI for what I am doing). However, I am having a problem when bringing Ubuntu out of "locked" state, and any time that I am required to authenticate (i.e. sudo bash). After I type in my password, everything hangs for a good 3+ minutes.
To test this, I disconnected the Ubuntu Servers from the network, and I tried to authenticate again. With the server off the network, authentication did not hang, and the GUI came up in seconds. Also, I checked my syslog and memory utilization and both are well within acceptable range that they would not be causing sluggish performance.
With all of this said, I believe that there is some kind of resolution going on when trying to authenticate while the servers are connected to the network (i.e. Kind of like how doing a traceroute in a cmd prompt in Windows without the "-d" takes forever because of name resolution checking).I should also mention that my network DOES NOT have an internet connection by design.

I'm moving to Vietnam soon and was wondering if anyone knows of the best native linux way to circumvent the internet censorship there without slowing it down too significantly. I used to use proxy servers to access Wikipedia in China, but they were slow and unreliable. Not to mention, it was a pain to enable/disable it.
I'm trying to dump a mysql database on a small web server without killing performance. I tried using the nice command to give the mysqldump and gzip a low priority, but gzip is still taking up 100% CPU. Pages on the web server are loading incredibly slow. Here's my command:
Code: nice -n 19 mysqldump -u USER -pPASSWORD DATABASE | nice -n 19 gzip -9 > OUTFILE.sql.gz How do I get gzip to run without taking up 100% CPU? I've attached a screenshot of top about 8 seconds into the dump.
I have a tenda wireless adaptor running on 11.04 natty. The USB id is: 148F 3070
Using the already installed drivers rt2800usb it can connect to all 13 channels but is very flaky, transfers slowing and stopping regularly. The rt2870sta driver is a lot more stable, but it will only connect to channels 1-11, but I need to use channel 13 due to massive wifi congestion on other channels...
I've tried iwpriv but it says there are no ioctls for the device.
Is there any way to get the installed driver rt2870sta to scan and connect to channel 13?
I've also tried to install the latest drivers from the ralink website: rt2870sta says it can see all 14 channels, but fails to scan. I also tried rt3070 driver but I cannot insmod as there are errors...
When I am running Ktorrent it takes about 30 seconds for a web page to open, in stead of 1 or 2 seconds. The download speed is very slow 200B/s and the status of most of the torrents is "Stalled". If have opened TCP and UDP ports 36477 4444 6881, 7881, 8881 and added them to the port forwarding list in my router. No difference.
Is there a way to cache everything in squid except for the video files and mp3s?I had a problem before when I turned caching on and it made the performance very poor because it was trying to cache large video files.Right now, I have a problem on the server where even if iptraf lists ingoing+outgoing at 5000 kbits/sec viewing video works fine, but it takes a while for normal webpages to load and I can't figure out where the bottleneck is.
I am having annoying problems with my fresh installation of Mandriva 2010.2. It uses the xorg-1.7.7 server for my ATI X600 mobility graphics card. (package: x11-server-xorg-1.7.7-1mdv2010.1) There are several - perhaps related, perhaps unrelated - problems:
I have accidentally remove dbus which concludes removing everything including graphic-manager desktop and network manager. after removal system automatically rebooted and i only have command prompt to work with. Now i have no desktop and no network connections.
As i have lost network connections i can't apt-get any packages. so please help me with the solution?
