[gentoo-user] KDE 4.9.5 VERY slow to respond

[gentoo-user] KDE 4.9.5 VERY slow to respond

[Dale]

Howdy,

I upgraded to the latest KDE a bit ago.  I update about twice a week,
depending on what is going on and what is released.  Anyway, KDE has
become just dead dog slow.  Just to login takes a couple minutes.  If I
click to open a KDE app, it takes a long time.  If I click on the
kicker/panel thingy at the bottom, it takes forever, even clicking on
the K menu takes a minute or more for the menu to pop up.  Also, when it
freezes, the clock stops as well.  It seems something is hung up or
something.  I also noticed that klipper is missing as is kmix for the
volume control in the kicker/panel thingy at the bottom.  If I try to
manually start them, I get nothing even if I wait for a good long
while.  Also, while in a Konsole, within KDE so note the K there, if I
try to copy/paste something, it locks up Konsole tight as a drum.  It
has yet to ever come back.  I can't even switch tabs.  Also, while I
generally click on the panel at the bottom to switch desktops, this
doesn't work when it is froze or stuck.  I can however use the function
keys to switch. 

When I login, the hard drive activity light on the case is very quiet. 
It is normally on solidly when I login since it is reading data but now
it is pretty much dark all the time. 

What I have done so far.  Renamed .kde4 and tried a new .kde4
directory.  No change.  I did a emerge -e world with, no change.  I have
also checked the CPU and memory with htop and it shows nothing outside
the norm that I can see.  I have also went to the boot runlevel. killed
anything that shouldn't be there and then went back to default runlevel. 

This started yesterday.  I did my usual update and logged out and back
in since checkrestart showed several programs using old configs/programs
etc.  After that, it got real slow.  The biggest update was qt and all
its friends.  Sort of hard to tell right now since I can't get Konsole
to work right and I can't copy and paste either. lol 

I was going to try to downgrade KDE to the previous version, it appears
to be gone now.  I guess my only other option is to upgrade again with a
version from a overlay. This is not something I want to do tho.

Has anyone else ran into this?  Anyone got any ideas on how to track it
down?  It's going to be a week before another upgrade and this is
getting on my nerves.  ;-) 

Thanks.

Can you log into a vt and tail ~/.xsession-errors and see anything
useful in there? I use a vt for this so konsole is not in the mix while
trying to tail stuff.

I've historically found that lockups of around 30 seconds are so are
often DNS lookup failures, and lockups of 1-2 minutes are often
IO timeouts (in my case usually nfs or smb mounts that went away when I
did something stupid hehehehe )

You can also try stracing the kdeinit process to see what they are
doing and where they are blocking. With KDE it's a lot harder to find
the process to trace (there are so *many* process), sorting top on the
"S" column can help - look for stuff listed as "D" in that column.

While we discuss KDE, any idea why my panel will occasionally stop
receiving mouse events and updates occasionally after coming out of
suspend? When this happnes, the clock stops ticking. Very annoying....

Hello,

When i saw your message, it was something of a relief, I was even thinking
about a hardware problem, sometimes it freezes for so long and so much it
even doesn't allow me to switch to one of the consoles. Sometimes I could
not wait, and just reset the computer.

Now I know it might be something else besides hardware (I have run Memtest+
for more than 24h and nothing showed up).

I checked some of the dbus packages, most of them only show one package
available for install.  So, I guess if a new one breaks, you are just
screwed.  I thought there was some sort of policy that there was to be
two versions of stuff in the tree so people could go back if needed? 

Well, now what?  Overlay and hope I hit a good version?  Switch to icewm
or something? 

As to your problem, I have not tried suspend yet.  Although, my panel is
all weird right now too.  Sometimes it works and sometimes not.  I do
know this, you click on the K thingy, it locks up for a good little
while.  Don't even think about right clicking and logging out.  It locks
up about everything KDE, including Konsole. 

This sucks.  :/  It sucks more that they removed the previous versions
of some stuff and I can't try going back a version.  Jeeez!!

Well, it is not just you.  I'm trying some things so if I find a fix,
I'll certainly post it.  I may resync and see if there is any updates
too.  By the way, when was your last sync?  Mine was about midnight CST
on the 29th.

OK.  This seems to be working.  Yeppie !!!  Try this package:

sys-apps/dbus-1.6.8-r1

I had to add that to my keyword file to get it tho. 

Yeppie !!!  Even my little temperature thingy is working now.  K menu,
check.  Copy and paste in Konsole, check.  Oh yea.  lol  I could get
used to this.

you can ignore all that.


there is something broken - have a look at htop while clicking, check
with xev that your clicks are actually delivered on time. Check
Xorg.0.log hat X is behaving the way it should.

I posted it earlier but it turned out to be dbus needing a update.  It
appears dbus had a issue but the one with the fix was keyworded. 
Anyway, it is back to normal now.  Well, normal for me anyway.  lol 

Thanks.

Hi, Dale.

There is something else.  I have upgraded gcc, done an "emerge -evuDN
world", even recompiled the kernel, and the graphic system has stuck again
a while ago.

I will try to post later something more specific, but as far as could see,
it is not just KDE.  But the text terminals still work, just can't kill
anything.

Good to know someone is happy again ;-)

Francisco

Well, I do run into problems from time to time.  I got a thread on here
about gtkam that is a real head scratcher.  I don't know tho, maybe I
don't have any more problems than anyone else.  I don't start to many
threads with problems so maybe it just feels like Murphy picks on me a
lot.  :/

I wasn't the only one with this problem either.  So this time, it was
not just me.  lol   I just had the nerve to post about it.  O-o

I ran into this once before and it turned out to be a DNS or hostname
issue if I recall correctly.  I can't for the life of me figure out why
that would matter but it did.  It's been a while so I can't remember
what I did but I have ran into that on both my machines.  It also makes
the login on a Console take longer too.  It makes a fast system act like
a old Mac Classic.  O_O 

May want to check on that sort of stuff too.  May not be it but if you
don't check it, it will be.  lol

don't worry to much about it. Some people are just lucky and run into
problems a lot. Not even their fault.

Oh I don't.  Things happen.  We all run into issues at times and we
report them so they can be fixed.  Then that helps everyone.  This is
Linux after all.  ;-)

Well, well, there are way more issues on Mac and Windows and the end
user can't do much about it neither dig out the bug exactly. Here
everything being open source, we have an awesome community which helps
others :D

If you've read about the recent crashes on latest Mac while typing
file:/// in any app, ... imagine how would you fix that? I'm pretty
sure that if it was KDE or GNOME, a fix would have been already out,
or rather there must not have been any such issue at all since beta
testing is done by a very large team spread all over the world ;-)

I don't want to give any more lecture on open source and stuff, since
everyone on the list knows about it :-P
