 Posted: Tue Aug 21, 2007 5:53 pm Post subject: Blag runs very slow |
 |
|
Hi. I am running blag on an iMac, and it is agonizingly slow. It takes several minutes to start up, and maybe 30 seconds just to start the terminal. I read through the 'very slow' thread of a year ago, but I don't have a SATA hard drive. free gives me Mem: total=483228, used=477540, free=5688, and it says no swap is being used. top says that the biggest memory users are nautilus, 4.4%, and gnome-panel, 4.1%. The only thing that ever reaches above 0% CPU is Xorg, which varies from 0-2%. It seems to me that since installing, it has been getting progressively slower.
If it helps to know, it stalls for a minute or two booting cups, but I have disabled that and it is still slow. I have also cut the virtual desktops down to 1.
Let me know if there is any other information I should provide. It is bordering on unusable.

well , I'm running Blag 60001 on a brandnew MacBookPro (2 GB of RAM, 4.6 GB of swap on sda6), and sometimes , opening an Xterm is not possible (it is in a boot-up phase for about 1 mns and then the process is killed. At the same time, you can't open any application successfully. BUt, 98% of the time, everything works as quickly as you would expect a laptop fitted with a 2.15 GHz Core2Duo processor). Does anyone knows why top sayas that I only have 200 MB of memory available, while at the same time, System Monitoring application says that I still have 1.7 GB of free RAM ? Eric.

My first guess would be to test your disk performance...
| Code: | /sbin/hdparm -t /dev/hda
/dev/hda:
Timing buffered disk reads: 106 MB in 3.05 seconds = 34.79 MB/sec |
Is what I get for this laptop (IBM). Dunno if that result is any good or not but the thing works OK.
When you use `gnome-system-monitor` to list your processes, does it include those owned by root or any daemons running? Failing that `apt-get install htop`. htop is a much nicer "top tool" very easy to list processes in the order that you want.

Thanks for the advice. hdparm gives me 210 MB in 3.02 seconds = 69.52 MB/sec. I also have the inconsistency with top and System Monitor. top and free say I'm using 263MB of memory, and htop and System Monitor say I'm using 132MB of memory. In terms of the processes, htop says the same as top. In case it helps, I am running a dual-boot system with OS X; I don't know if that could have an effect.
Thanks
Peter

I guess those speeds are better than mine? Chaps please advise. Don't run any more checks on the disk. i only wanted to eliminate the possibility of a dud disk or something. cat /proc/meminfo should give you the "true" value of your memory. You may want to ` cat /proc/meminfo | head -n 4` just to see the total, free, buffers and cached.
Have a look at the output from `dmesg`. any "warning", "cannot", or other problem?

/proc/meminfo gives me the same as top and free.
I'm afraid that I don't know enough to understand much of the dmesg output, but here are the things that look most like errors to me:
...
pnp: 00:01: iomem range 0xe0000000-0xefffffff could not be reserved
pnp: 00:01: iomem range 0xfed14000-0xfed17fff could not be reserved
pnp: 00:01: iomem range oxfed18000-0xfed18fff could not be reserved
pnp: 00:01: iomem range 0xfed19000-0xfed19fff could not be reserved
pnp: 00:05: iomem range 0xfed00000-0xfed03ff has been reserved
...
apm: BIOS not found.
...
isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards...
Marking TSC unstable due to: possible TSC halt in C2.
...
Is there anything else I should look for?

Just out of interest is your internet connection working ok with this machine? I ask 'cos I had a weired problem on a particular kernel that I was mucking about with... That iomem stuff can be gleaned with `cat /proc/iomem` and should say the same stuff as `dmesg`.
That pnp refers to plug and play devices. Dunno what you expect to plug into the machine though. If your net connection -is- OK why not update the system if you have not done so already.
Final question is how did you specify partitions during the installation? Went with the defaults or made your own? Just asking to make sure that you have enough disk space...
df -h will tell you that. My guess is that there is a conflict with your devices. Maybe bewteen USB and something. Perhaps your ports [1], interupts [2] or pci
Disclaimer:- jayeola is guessing!!
[1] cat /proc/ioports
[2] cat /proc/interrupts
[2] cat /proc/iomem | grep pnp
[3] /sbin/lspci

The iomem lines that correspond to the dmesg are:
...
e0000000-efffffff : reserved
...
fed00000-fed003ff : pnp 00:05
fed14000-fed19fff : reserved
...
The system is updated, and the internet seems to be working fine, just slow.
df -h says I have 50G in /, 76M in /boot, and 236M is /dev/shm.
I tried the other suggestions you made, and I didn't see anything that said "ERROR!" or anything. I'm not really sure what to look for. Should I copy the output?
Thanks
Peter

Yeah. I'd say paste the results from `dmesg` unless you are worried about posting "sensitive info". Remove any lines that you are worried about. Also use `ps` to show use what the box is doing. `ps -e -orss=,args= | sort -b -k1,1n | pr -TW$COLUMNS` that should list processes by memory.

Wow. That's the longest `dmesg` i've read in a long time. ;)
You definitely have something else going on, but I dont see anything suspect in the info you posted here to pinpoint it. :( Perhaps try adding noacpi to the boot line in grub (?). It doesnt sound disk related. Do you have some device connected to USB which may be doing a bunch of polling or something?
Sorry I dont have a better answer for you.

Perhaps there's a ton of interrupts going on. Run:
| Code: | | cat /proc/interrupts |
Wait a few seconds, then run it again. It will show how many interrupts there have been in that interval. Then you can see if some device is going haywire and flooding the system.

Thanks for the suggestions. There have been two usb devices attached to the computer - a Canon printer/scanner and the keyboard. I have tried booting without the printer plugged in but it didn't seem to make a difference. I also tried booting with the noacpi option, assuming I did it right. I got to the grub menu, then pressed 'a' for append, and then added noacpi to the end. (I also tried acpi=off.) Is that right? However, it didn't seem to make any difference either way.
The numbers that change the most in /proc/interrupts are:
| Code: | 0: 372410 0 IO-APIC-edge timer
...
17: 19220 0 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb4, i915@pci:0000:00:02.0
...
LOC: 1754 373904
... |
timer gains about 1000 CPU0 per second, usb4 about 60 per second, and LOC about 1000 SPU1 per second.
Also, I noticed some error messages right at boot time, which may be important:
...
i8042.d: No controller found.
Red Hat nash version 5.1.19.0.3 starting
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/all error, -71
ata_piix 0000:00:1f.2 invalid MAP value 0
...
Thanks

From what I've been seeing on the net people have been having problems with interupts and or the cpu to get problems like yours. From Jebba's response, open a terminal and run `watch -d 'cat /proc/interupts'`.
This will allow you to "watch" this file as the system handles devices. Whenever you see any highlighting in the term then something has changed in the system.
I was actually scared by that dmesg ;-)

What am I supposed to see by watching the interrupts? There is constantly highlighting for timer, usb4, ide0, and LOC, and eth0 less commonly.
When I turn off acpi, there is only one cpu column, CPU0, where there used to be two. Also, all the usbs rows are together, as well as eth0, and some others.
The only thing I really did with blag since installing it is installing TurboPrint, which is a shareware program that supplies printer drivers (the only way for me to print on my Canon). Perhaps this is involved?
