[opensuse-factory] Leap42 - something must be slowing down my system
It's veryyyyy slow. It's nothing special, an HP xw6400. A couple of Intel 5130 @ 2Ghz with 2Gb RAM. A couple of SATA drives in RAID1, graphics is a dual Nvidia Quadro 440. I use it exclusively for testing Leap. Locking the screen on an otherwise inactive system takes 11 seconds from I press Ctrl-Alt-L. After that it takes another 15 seconds for the icons (user,new,change) to appear on the locked/login screen. To login, I need to click on the password field to move the focus, takes 5 seconds. I type my 8-character password in a second or so, but it takes 5 seconds for it to appear as bullets in the password field. In chunks of 2 and 3. Any possibility this is graphics driver related? nouveau didn't work, so I installed the latest (for this card) nvidia driver from source. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.4°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

For the moment, rebooting solved the issue - now I'll just wait a couple of days to see if it slows down again. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Possibly some memory leaks? It's a pity that nouveau doesn't work. Nvidia driver is, obviously, hard to debug anything. Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, something like that - it wasn't swapping though.

Yeah. With nouveau I got all kinds of screwed up graphics, random triangles etc. Wasn't usable at all. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (10.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

What about ssh from another computer, and run "top" in it, to see if something is going busy? Maybe have "iotop --only" in another one, will tell you about disk activity. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Nothing is busy, I'm sat right next to the box and the disks are quiet. I'll try the 'top' idea next time it slows down. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

If you're using KDE, you can "suspend compositing" (desktop effects) with Alt+Shift+F12, and thus exclude that factor. It's not unusual that some desktop effect(s) don't perform well with some combinations of gfx drivers and gfx cards. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Yep, acknowledged - I have already disabled some of those, not sure if I got them all. I'll check out "suspend compositing". For the time being, the system is responding well, and it's been three days. I'll wait and see. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Sadly they are in decline - more so on laptops - but if your machine (still) has a disk LED, it is rather easy to see whether a workload is IO-bound or processor-bound without needing xosview/top running. But those might help too. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
