I was listening to a radio stream in Chromium yesterday and it started skipping. I switched to another station, and it took a long time to connect, but it played normally. All internet connections were slow after that. It took 10 seconds to connect to google.com. It takes a long time just to ping Google, like 13 seconds for 5 packets the first time. I assumed the issue was with my provider and did something else. I opened a text file I'd been editing earlier, and now it's taking 10 or 15 seconds to load. Same is happening for all texts and spreadsheets, unless I open them from recent documents in another file. Opening the files in Nautilus has this problem, too.

Proxy is disabled in Firefox, Chromium and LibreOffice. All three are very slow to open and connect. I didn't do any updates or install software yesterday, or make system changes. It's strange, it was almost like it sputtered, and broke down.But how do I disable remote services in LibreOffice, and can somebody guess what would bring this on? I've got Leap 15.1, GNOME 3.26.2, LibreOffice 6.4.5.

then open top or htop in a ?term window and watch it as you experience slowness

it should show you where the bottleneck is.

I don't see anything bottling things up. The thing is, the internet connection slowed down at the same time this started. It takes 13 seconds to ping 5 packets to google.com. I think the problem is related. LO seems to be connecting to a remote server, even though I have usage data disabled.

reboot?

Thanks. I rebooted the modem. Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Possibly. Possibly not. Jon said

All internet connections were slow after that. It took 10 seconds to connect to google.com. It takes a long time just to ping Google, like 13 seconds for 5 packets the first time.

If it were the internet ALONE then I'd wonder about problems establishing a connection, possibly due to DNS issues, which 'top' would say noting about. I began life in the UNIX 5,6,7 days before there was a network connection. Now we are so tied in to networking we use it places where a previous generation would not think of doing so. So many UNIX Host network connections, DBUS connections, established at start-up. Maybe even some applications checking out services on the Internet at start-up, and DNS delay issues. Maybe. Sometimes you'd have to check with the source code to find out. And maybe that's obscure. Not all of use have to coding/language skills to be able to do that. I'm sure that tools like 'netstat' would be useful. I have an xterm with 'iftop' running, but it isn't useful for things that get 'blocked', only for things that actually move along. The same might be said for 'top' and 'htop'. If you are looking to traffic rather than specific programs that I'd recommend vimstat. I have an xterm with 'vmstat -SM -a 15' running. You might also look up what a 'slab' of memory is and how having lots of free memory you can't actually use it. -- “Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it’s conspiracy theories or free-market,” -- James Glattfelder. http://jth.ch/jbg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Where do you get it from? not listed.

Ah, the second time you write *vmstat*

Two separate tools showing two separate things. main:~ # apropos vmstat vmstat (8) - Report virtual memory statistics main:~ # apropos netstat netstat (8) - Print network connections, routing tables, interface statistics, masquerade connections,...
