Hello, I'm having sluggish performance from my suse 11.3. My configuration is Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.66 GhZ, 2 GB DDR2 RAM and Inter G41 mainboard supporting a 500 GB HDD. I've installed and used Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu previously with no performance issue at all. But right now I'm getting sluggish performance from suse. What's the reason behind it? Can anybody help me out? I use basic soft. Browser, Word Processor, Mail client, Video player, Download manager & Torrent client. The only resource hog I run is Kmail (if that really can be called one) Please suggest me to do something to improve my performance. -- I am me, I wanna be me.

Please suggest me to do something to improve my performance. Hi, open a konsole and type in top, then hit enter. The display should tell you what is using up the cpu's power, and that will give you somewhere to start troubleshooting. Post what you find so that others on the list can help you.

Possibly you didn't tell the kernel to use it. I don't see why your system is sluggish. Describe exactly why you say that. Slow display, perhaps? However, notice something. There is 79256k of ram free, then 337792k in buffers and 1209228k cached. Thus, there is no need for swap - yet. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

It shows no swap ACTIVITY. Why should it? You're not using all your memory. -- The improvement of our way of life is more important than the spreading of it.

It shows no swap available, thus no swap activity. There is no swap to use.

You have created the swap drive but have not activated it.

Then please tell me how to activate it.

The easiest method to add the swap line to fstab is with YaST Partitioner. Just click on Hard Disks, then highlight the partition you have allocated to swap, then click on Edit. On the next screen select Format Partition and "swap" for the file system from the pull-down. Then below click on Mount Partition and from the pull-down select "swap" as the mount point. Finish. The line in fstab will look like: swap swap defaults 0 0 The swapon command syntax is just: #swapon <device-id> So if /dev/sda7 for example was the swap partition, the command would just be: #swapon /dev/sda7

Simply run 'swapon -a'.

And /etc/fstab contains this. Can you tell me what to add?:

Not really, as you haven't told us, what partition is your swap-partition. Or the name of your swapfile.

...

/dev/disk/by-id/ata-SAMSUNG_HD502HJ_S20BJ90SB02264-part2 / ext4 acl,user_xattr 1 1

/dev/sdXY swap swap defaults 0 0 or /path/to/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0 In the latter case, you _MUST_ put the line for swap _after_ the line for the partition on which the swapfile is. With a partition, swap can be the first line. Instead of /dev/sdXY (which you have to replace by the correct device for the partition), you can also use /dev/disk/by-id/... etc. See the manpages fstab(5), swapon(8) ...

Hi, here are some things that you can do to speed up your sluggish computer. http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Disable_IPv6_for_Firefox kde Yast>System>sysconfig editor>Desktop>kde_use_IPv6 set to no Suse open terminal su to root #echo "alias net-pf-10 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf hit enter #echo "alias ipv6 off" >> /etc/modprobe.conf hit enter restart computer After restart, Yast>Software management>search delete nepomuk, strigi, akonadi For some reason your Xorg seems to me to be drawing a lot of cpu power. My computer shows 5% on Xorg and I am playing a video with it. If my browser is hanging up the Xorg will shoot up to around 45-50% cpu, but I normally never see much higher than 1-5% cpu on xorg. I would try to figure out why the xorg is drawing so much cpu. Perhaps someone else here on the list has an opinion on this and can help. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
