[opensuse-factory] Factory Snapshot 20141001, KDE hangs while copying big files
Hi, i have installed Factory Snapshot 20141001 from DVD with default settings + lvm + encryption + enlarge swap and KDE. Now if i copy big files e.g Centos7 ISO, KDE becomes unresponsive for some time (from seconds to minutes ). If i try the same with a fresh Installation and instead KDE i use Gnome , the Problem does not happen. any idea? regards Florian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

As a test, I copied a factory DVD iso to "/tmp". That's a copy between two different partitions. I did not have the problem that you describe. Response was slighly slower than usual, but still within reason. I have an older computer that used to be my main desktop system. On that computer, I would see the kind of behavior that you describe. I typically saw it when copying an iso to a USB, as in # dd_rescue /path/to/file.iso /dev/sdX In that case, I could move the mouse but the pointer would not move until perhaps a minute later. Usually, I would start that copy, then take a coffee break. This was happening back at opensuse 11.4, 12.1, 12.2. I do not notice this on my current desktop. I think it's partly a hardware issue. The copy is hogging the bus or the interrupt handler or something. The simplest solution seems to be to take a coffee break (or some other break) during the copy. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Sounds like a kernel bug. -- Cristian "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
