Dear list mates, I'm using GroupWise Client, version 8.0.0HP2 on my openSUSE Factory installation. Since the latest updates that hit factory (going to MileStone 2), the client became very sluggish and is constantly consuming 100% of one CPU core (sometimes it even happens to use part of the 2nd core).

...

From my observation, the problem appeared togetherwith glibc 2.10, but then, that very zypper dup installed almost 1GB of packages. so it could have been whatever.

Does anybody else see similiar issues (if at all somebody is using the groupwise client)? Thanks for you help! Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It doesn't feel more sluggish than usual, and my notebook only has a single core, but...

...I also get similar behavior in terms of CPU load. Interestingly, in term of wakeups, according to powertop Firefox is the main culprit: Top causes for wakeups: 84.2% ( inf) firefox : hrtimer_start_range_ns (hrtimer_wakeup) 8.6% ( inf) <interrupt> : PS/2 keyboard/mouse/touchpad 3.9% ( inf) <kernel core> : hrtimer_start_range_ns (tick_sched_timer) 1.5% ( inf) groupwise-bin : hrtimer_start_range_ns (hrtimer_wakeup)

Yes, this is a bit of a problem trying to nail things down. Would you mind filing a bug report?

There is already http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509096 but the GW team seems to think looking into this is just an enhancement... I can't see now how NPTL could make these futex() calls and it would be nice to have an ltrace, I'm not sure if java uses pthreads or can issue futex() syscalls on its own. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne. -- Chaucer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Non public bug, probably as it's not against openSUSE. If I can be added to CC I'll gladly provide all information and support I can.

Yeah.. was sure about that. Unfortunately all the 'proprietary' Novell products get a kind of bad treatment on openSUSE (It's somewhat better on SLE). - GroupWise -> if it works, great... if not... well - Messenger. I just don't use it anymore. kopete or pidgin do the trick - Novell Client NCL: a story on it's own. Will probably never work reliable (even though at the moment I got it to work on a Factory install... woohoo... ) - Client Trust: yes.. a sad story if you use Border Manager. integrates with NCL, thus you already have the problem of NCL hardly ever being able to be used. Plus: where is the x86_64 version??? Especially for NCL I had a lot of contact with the respective department. Lots of mails, ending up in no apparent actions (why not finally offer repositories of the novell tools??? even if there are no src.rpm available)

I can't see now how NPTL could make these futex() calls and it would be nice to have an ltrace, I'm not sure if java uses pthreads or can issue futex() syscalls on its own.

Leonardo, can you make this bug public? (If that's possible...) Or Dominique could opena nother bug and we could mark this one a dupe of that. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne. -- Chaucer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Just changed the product to openSUSE 11.2 and added Dominique to CC. Thanks, Leonardo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Thank you very much Leonardo. It's nice to see that such a request is taken seriously. I added my findings to the ticket (mainly changing from java 1.4 to 1.6).
