--- Comment #5 from Harald Koenig
Meanwhile I would suggest that you are using only ONE update repo. It should work much more faster then.
indeed, not using the network repositories (DVD only, wasn't an option at my first try because that time I only had that single CD boot image...), performace is different (but still far from good IMHO) I noticed that y2base runs with UTF-8 locale. any chance to chance that (running C/POSIX locale without UTF-8) for a timing test ? maybe the UTF-8 performace in ticket #225618 may cause yast performace problems too ???? output of "ps" when I first get into the "installation summary/options" with network repos: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 3008 47.1 44.3 276032 229028 tty1 Sl+ 14:31 7:48 y2base installation ("initial") qt --noborder --auto-fonts --fullscreen 7+ cpu minutes just for startup, no interactive package selection yet! after one selection of "pattern" and exit/cancel: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 3008 53.6 44.4 276768 229524 tty1 Sl+ 14:31 10:50 y2base installation ("initial") qt --noborder --auto-fonts --fullscreen after some (unsuccessfull) conflict management: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 3008 56.1 48.6 300096 251284 tty1 Rl+ 14:31 38:04 y2base installation ("initial") qt --noborder --auto-fonts --fullscreen interesting: yast startup to installation summary w/o network repos: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 3007 29.3 33.8 223008 174736 tty1 Sl+ 16:03 1:12 y2base installation ("initial") qt --noborder --auto-fonts --fullscreen much better, but conflict management still is a pain (and again ends in timeout and empty screen for 10.1-update). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
